It’s hard to imagine how a human can play the OF as poorly as Smiths does. Perhaps he suffers from vertigo.

 

 

Hicks made a bad play in the outfield for the Yankees so for once it wasn’t just us making boneheaded plays,

If anyone was that lazy chasing a ball on my wiffle ball squad they’d be writing sentences every day for an hour.

Hi. I missed the game but after seeing the highlights wonder whether the second out on Santander's throw of the outfield was contested. Mancini lays out completely on the ground to catch the ball and it seemed debatable to me (didn't have a close-up though) whether he was foot was still on the bag when he caught it. His foot definitely comes off at a certain point and when he touches the bag again it's after the runner's back. Thanks.

Was the out call at first contested?

Should have been, looked safe to me. 

Heck of a throw either way.

I thought it was, but I was out at dinner when this play happened.

Mancini’s part in that play is underrated.
