Yeah. How the f do you get doubled up on a pop up.

by joeee on Apr 16, 2009 2:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

It looked like a hit and run was called and Vic had a shallow pop out

by Roger Dorn on Apr 16, 2009 2:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

Infield pop up to Jeter. Sizemore scampered back to first. Jeter lobs one to first and DeRosa is halfway back.

Steel Nick

by nickjs21 on Apr 16, 2009 2:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

Sizemore scampered back to second, excuse me.

Steel Nick

by nickjs21 on Apr 16, 2009 2:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

Why would they hit and run with a man on second?

by Jeffrey R on Apr 16, 2009 2:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

So,your belief is that DeRo missed the sign and ran on his own

by Roger Dorn on Apr 16, 2009 2:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

They both ran.

Steel Nick

by nickjs21 on Apr 16, 2009 2:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

So, then it’s not DeRo’s fault for being in a position to be doubled up

by Roger Dorn on Apr 16, 2009 2:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yes it was, the ball was barely in the outfield when Jeter caught it, DeRo just wasn’t paying attention to anything and was still at 2b.

LGT's resident Beer Advocate.

by LGT Patrick on Apr 16, 2009 2:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

Dude it’s a pop-up!!!!!!!! Not a liner!

by joeee on Apr 16, 2009 2:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

He had his head down and that was clearly the reason his reaction was delayed. That is inexusable.

by supermarioelia on Apr 16, 2009 2:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

THIS. Sizemore had all the time in the world to get back to second. The difference is Sizemore had his eyes open.

Steel Nick

by nickjs21 on Apr 16, 2009 2:09 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yes, but a runner going to second is supposed to watch the third base coach and not the ball in play. It’s a fundamental of running the bases

by Roger Dorn on Apr 16, 2009 2:09 PM EDT up reply actions  

Another fundamental is don’t get doubled up on a goddamn pop-up.

by nickjs21 on Apr 16, 2009 2:10 PM EDT up reply actions

It’s the same at every level. Grady may have just had better instincts, but I am having a hard time blaming DeRosa

I believe the term is “awareness.”

by joeee on Apr 16, 2009 2:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yea, totally normal for Grady to run back to 2b and DeRo to just not give a shit.
