You know he didn't throw that on the run, going in the wrong direction right? He literally stops, plants and even takes a step toward home plate. If you need a reference just pause it when he catches it and play, pause, play, pause and you'll clearly see he was throwing off his back foot.

What you  are saying is true, but the throw still had to bad and was perfect which was especially difficult given that he was almost inline with Corbin.

Gunnar in the field is the only good thing we’ve had this game.

I'm not saying it wasn't difficult but people are saying he threw with his momentum going in the wrong direction. I get it, it was a great play, but lets not exaggerate the facts on the play. Video doesn't lie. He planted both feet on the throw.

Well Irvin made you look good on that one. He was at 71 pitches and cruising so it made zero sense to take him out without the benefit of hindsight. 

Hyde has usually pulls him after five. He's only gone into the 6th a few times. Honestly I thought he should stay in.

Agreed.  He threw a bit flat footed but he was able to arrest his momentum.

They were stretching him out then.

I don't want to take anything away from the play it was fantastic, Arnold just made a hyperbolic statement, which was my contention from the start.

people have to realize with a six man rotation the starters are going to have to go deeper. There are fewer relievers available.  I know we got an extra guy now, but still they are trying to take the load off some of these relievers and guys like Gibson and Irvin have to sacrifice.

Krehbiel throwing gas on the fire.

 Again, he has not pitched into the 6th the majority of his starts, even the good ones

JaSSon Dominguez homered in his first at bat.

Again, he was used in the bullpen, they were stretching him out to be a starter so his outings were shorter.

Another ballyhooed prospect that will start hot and the end up being meh.
