If it were Frazier/Ellsbury/Headley, I agree send him. But that was a hard hit single to left. You don't send a slow running first baseman who has had ankle injuries all year.
stumbling before the bag and a terrible slide. You can not dig your foot into the ground on a slide. That lead foot has to be off the ground until your ass hits the ground.
Granted Altuve commits a rare error right as I type this.
That's not a fucking strike. Smoltz is exactly right
Wake the fck up
That's not a fucking strike. Smoltz is exactly right
Time to take notes on these umps and Pull a Detroit tigers on each of them next season.
Nothing happened to Detroit so we should be good.
Girardi needs to have a word with the ump
Bird is slow to begin with plus he had leg injuries this year
Yeah saw that on the replay...fuck. Once he hesitated, should have held up
Right call, Bird hesitated which cost him, but you have to send him
Yup that’s insane that he was so slow around 3rd
Sure, there's a good chance he gets thrown out, but it's more likely they don't score if they hold him and let Sanchez hit.
You send him 100 times out of 100 3-2 2 out hit to the outfield. Bird never should have hesitated. And it took a perfect throw.
That's not on the 3rd base coach by any stretch
