All the three outfielders misplayed a ball for Gibson today.  

Yeah I wouldn't have expected that even with the challenging conditions.

I'm OK with Mountcastle at first.

Me too, just saying he may need to get another mitt if he plans on screwing up routine flyballs.

Unlike Jeter’s five, Urias’s was fully deserved.  He led the league in pretty much every advanced metric.  

Doesn't mean that proclaiming a player is a gold glove winner is a good argument.

Come on, that 1-0 pitch is a strike.

[Tony-OH]

Great pitch by Akin. Now let's roll two and get out of this mess only giving up one.

Defensively I assume you mean.

Yes of course.  Only including guys that played a significant amount of time at SS.

I’m sure there’s a bunch of guys that played a handful of games at SS that were worse than Jeter.

I've seen Ty Wiggington at short so I wouldn't go that far. 

I watched Ryan Mountcastle play SS for Delmarva in Hagerstown.

Not good.

[Tony-OH]

Not that we will see a reply but MASN is more worried about showing a "quick commerical" instead, but looks like Mountcastle got caught between thinking of going home and second, then took the easy out.

[Frobby]

Great job by Akin to limit the damage.

The gist of my argument was that it's one game out of 162.  A comparison was made to Rolen so the gold glove reference was reasonable.  Geez, you love making mountains out of molehills.

Least we got out of it with only 2.  We need to score some more and not just shut down.  Keep their fans out of it too.  

[SilverRocket]

I don't think Palmer has really caught up to the new speed of the broadcast.

Not a great play, but maybe the smart one given the score.  

[Tony-OH]

Despite allowing both inherited runners to score, that wasn't a bad job by Akin. One bad pitch to Yoshida that Frazier had a chance at but couldn't make the play.
