Survival instinct.
that or die. Wow.
One of the beautiful things about baseball is that a stellar play like that is possible at any time. That was sweet.
There's thinking fast and there's thinking slow.
That was thinking fast.
Did he put his glove up in a purely defensive reaction or to catch the ball? We'll never know.
ric, I was a pitcher from Little League to high school. My pitching coach was a former AA minor league pitcher. He DRILLED into me that the moment the ball leaves a pitchers hand he becomes an infielder. He trained me how to get my glove up and have that be part of my mechanics. I coached baseball for 30 years and replicated what I was taught to my pitchers. This former coach also taught me when a pitcher gets tired their response time slows a bit, but that "bit" can lead to injury. So, when I saw a pitcher getting I yanked him, whether he liked it or not.
