The Sunday curse lives again...

Poor Brian is sacrificing his body over and over for a whole lotta nothing this inning.

[El Gordo]

Are you kidding me? That was a pretty bad throw.

What game are you watching? That throw was right in his gut.

Cintron dropping the ball because he was jealous that Brian has the range to get to more balls on the SS side of the bag than he does? :laughlol:

Seriously, I have NO idea how he missed that throw. It was right at his abdomen and he didn't even get his glove close to it. It looked like the ball just hit him in the stomach.

You are right about the jealous part!!

[Peace21]

Atleast our starters are going the distance, or trying to.

[blueberryale77]

Are you kidding me? That was a pretty bad throw.

Are you talking about the previous play where Brian tried to flip it to him with his glove? How can a ball that hits him right in the middle of his body be a bad throw?

Sorry scouts, that Walker wasn't too impressive, but you might like this Chad Bradford we have as well.

I just re-watched it.

He was running towards the bag, with his back to the bag. He had his glove at his chest ready to catch the ball. He couldn't get a feel for the bag from the angle he had to take to get there. As soon as he glanced down for a split second, was the same time Roberts threw the ball. And he threw it with a little mustard for how close they were and it was coming in at a downward motion.

Very tough play for both of them. I don't really think anyone was at fault.

Yeah I think Cintron just must have lost the ball because he never even moved his glove. I don't know how else you could explain it other than he just couldn't see it.

I will brb:oI dont want to go to the hospital:(

That was a tough tough catch for Cintron.

Hello? The ball *bounced* off of Cintron's freaking belt buckle. Jeez...

He didn't throw it anywhere close to where Cintron's glove was, and if you read my last post, you will understand why he didn't catch the ball.

[JimDH]

Win or lose try to remember that all Walker allowed was a chopper and a grounder.

Use your DVR and re-watch the play. You will see him look down the second Roberts throws the ball. With how hard he threw it, and where he threw it compared to where Cintron was set up to catch the ball, the play didn't have a chance. It was bad timing.
