No kidding. It bugs me that the tipping point for this is him losing a ball in the sun, something that can happen to any fielder out there. The St. Louis game was rough, and he definitely gave up on the faux-HR in Pittsburgh...he also had that crappy outing when Wood had one of his blown saves against the Brewers. Nothing to brag about, obviously, but I'm just not seeing this defensive butcher that people seem to be worried about. You can start listing off a few really bad instances. It's not just the sun. But the sun game directly blew a win, and it followed another bad play. Soriano's been bad out there, no reason to gloss over it. but he hasn't been that bad. not so bad that articles need to be written about it or that wrigley23 needs to literally cry tears about it. Nevermind that he lost the game...DUE TO THE SUN. There's absolutely no way to know that anyone else being out there would have been able to catch it instead, especially since the main factor for the missed catch WAS THE GIGANTIC FIREY STAR IN THE SKY WE CALL THE SUN. Did I mention that he missed the catch because of THE SUN? People are talking about him like he's almost as likely to not make a catch than he is to get it done.
