That's crazy, it's the cutoff man's job to be in position to field the throw, if Torres doesn't touch it then Roberts fields it and the run doesn't score.

Palmer noted that Scott's foot slipped out from under him as he made the throw. It wasn't a "good" throw FWIW.

Are you saying Torres was in bad position or that he shouldve just let it go over his head to Roberts?

Yes but Torres was already in position to cut off the throw while Scott was still fumbling around with it in the outfield. Isn't he supposed to try to hit the cutoff man?

The runner had stopped, if the cutoff man keeps the ball in front of him the run doesn't score. You rarely see an error on an outfielder making a throw to the cutoff man.

The one glaring weakness for Trembley as a manager is his deference to players over age 35. Either something has to be done about it or we need to get all the old guys off the roster.

I don't follow. It's not like Scott Moore has proved he is ready to take over for Mora or Millar. And it's not like Payton is getting preference over Jones or Luke Scott. Even Quiroz is getting some playing time, thankfully.

I don't blame Trembley for trying to get another inning or two out of Trachsel. The O's don't have a day off again for awhile, and they'll need the bullpen to be as rested as possible over the next week or more.
