Yeah, it kind of is. That’s a very pickable ball and he gets lazy with his technique. He just swiped at the ball. Like I said last year. When you do that you make your hands hard and he usually knocks the ball away. A Major League 1B has to pick that. 

I rewatched this a few times and it was a very short hop. It was not an easy pick per se. Sure, you can argue he could have had it, but it wasn't an easy one. '

That was on Mateo.

Always praise the 1B when they dig a bad throw, never blame them when they don't... especially this one when it was a routine throw.
