5/8 Pirates (Snell) @ Cubs (Lilly) 7:05 WCIU/720

The priority goes CF, SS, 2B in that situation. I think Bob even mentioned it.

It's not a priority. The CF takes charge if he can get it. But it comes down to who calls for it. The CF can call the middle IFs off and the SS can call the second baseman off and the SS and second baseman are supposed to peel off respectively, but unless someone calls off the person who originally calls for it, it's the original guy's play. The second baseman can't just assume the SS is going to be able to make the play.

The better angle? Izzy was there. His angle wasn't bad. And there wasn't time to check each others angles.

 

who is this, ray charles? The pop was almost directly over short. Izturis tried to make an over-the-shoulder basket catch; Theriot was coming at it from maybe a 60 degree angle.

Izturis isn't totally worthless :shock:

It's kinda hard to be "worthfull" when 2 people colide into you when you are catching the ball. :wink:

 

Theriot was clearly calling for it

 

It's not his to call. The priority goes CF, SS, 2B. We couldn't even see if Izzy was calling for it.

 

Theriot was being stupid.

How can you assume Izturis was calling for it, though?

 

How can everyone assume that he wasn't? His face was turned away from the camera.

 

Jones wasn't calling for it. That means it's Izzy's ball by default.

Theriot called for it. It's not Izturis' ball by default. That's the whole point of calling it. And if nobody called for it, it's whoever can catch it.

 

Cesar may very well have been calling for it, as well, but you can't assume he was.

 

The priority goes CF, SS, 2B in that situation. I think Bob even mentioned it.

 

The priority is CF, then whichever of the MI has a better angle.

 

The better angle? Izzy was there. His angle wasn't bad. And there wasn't time to check each others angles.

 

Izturis' angle was more along 1 o clock, while theriot's was 10 o clock..in my opinion it's an easier play for theriot esp. when he's calling for it.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Is the game over yet?

[C.C.]

Through all this poor baseball we are still only down by 1.

I honestly think DLee should've made the play.
