Jones Bases Loaded Drop

[jabba72]

Easy play or hot dogging? To me he was twisting his lower body away from it making it much harder to catch, and he clearly didnt see it come into his glove. But that said, Jones should have had time to get under it properly. I almost expected the ball to skip out when his setup looked so akward. Hopefully he stops doing this.

It was an inexcusable play. I know it, you know it, Buck knows it, and Jones knows it. I mean...what else can you say? It just can't happen.

He does seem to try to make things look too easy sometimes and should just get back and catch the ball. With that said, he got back there and took his eyes off the ball. It was a huge mistake, but with the way our pitching had been going I was questioning Buck's decision to intentionally walk a batter with two outs.

Very frustrating play, He did the same thing against the Yankees in the ALDS last year. That being said Adam is a beast of a player!

This.

Not "hot dogging" IMO but just a momentary lack of focus. Inexcusable like you said.

[B-moreBird]

I know when to turn off the game when I see Tommy Hunter jogging to the mound.

[Nemyar]

Was that the last time we see him blow a bubble as he makes a catch? Not saying the two have anything to do with one another, but you have to wonder...

[yeoledugger]

Hot dog with extra mustard.

[ChuckS]

Whether or not the blowing bubbles actually affects his play in the field, these "lapses in concentration" happen enough that I think he should be prohibited from chewing bubble gum on the field. He's now directly cost us two games with his botched plays in the outfield.

[SrMeowMeow]

I don't hate bubble gum, but damn do I hate seeing someone literally pop a bubble as they drop a fly ball and lose a game.

[blid]

Don't care about the gum, don't think he "hot dogged" it, but he did blow the play.

Yeah, lapse in focus.

[MikeAD]

He had better take blame in his post-game speech and do some work in the locker room.

Terrible.

[tinamodotti]

He needs to start using two hands to make catches. He always leaves his right hand down at this side.

[cheecks]

Careless.

He'll take the blame and remind everyone it's just one game.
