Lopez singled, someone flied out, Lopez was caught stealing Shoppach-Droobs, then someone got out. Somehow. Indians coming to bat.
So 2009.

Third out was, of course, a ground ball.

Laffey muffed a catch while covering first base. Otherwise got a couple nice ground balls.
by JRontherim on Feb 26, 2009 3:43 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Laffey was responsible for his own unearned run, with an assist from LaPorta. Connor Jackson hit what was apparently a catchable flyball to left field that was dropped for a “double” then Mills fielded a grounder & flipped to Laffey, who whiffed on it which let Jackson score.

To be fair, Mills did more than flip it. Laffey seemed surprised by the velocity. Still should have grabbed it.

Nothing of earth-shattering. They talked a while about him but mostly stuff we already know.
Says they aren’t worried about the lack of home runs because his power is very projectible. Talked about strike zone judgement and how that has them excited. Said that he is a work in progress in the field.
And as APV mentioned, they marveled at his size. First thing mentioned, actually.

On the ESPN bottom line ticker thing, it was listing the top 3 regressing players for fantasy at each position. It was listing mostly logical players, guys like Tejada. Then under pitching, it had Carmona. I was almost offended. Then I remembered it was ESPN.
