Beautiful game. Tim dynamic tonight flying all around the bases. Some Earl Weaver specials aka 3 run HR's. Abreu doing his 2nd half thing and Nicky the D with 5 big RIB's.

Caught it better ? It was a fastball around a foot away from where he set up . Reaction time on that prevents a catcher from doing anything but lunging for the ball. Moving along now...

Still going with this I see even though several posters called you out about that pitch and how it wasn't on Narvaez It was mostly on the ump and even Rodon for missing his spot. In no way shape or form should Narvaez be blamed. That pitch couldn't even have been framed.

Have you contacted the negro league museum ? I think your film would be a great addition to what ss2k5 posted above, the la vida baseball exhibit. Also seems perfect for PBS . And as far as exposure goes have your tried a Wayne's World approach like public access TV ?

Exactly. Some posters just jump on the Narvaez can't frame bandwagon and blame him for every non strike call on a strike. I've seen umps miss calls like that many many times when a pitcher misses his spot and the catcher has to lunge to catch it.

I hope you were actually watching the game and not just watching game day. Any nitwit could just blame the catcher for that without actually using his eyes to see what happened. As i have said many times when talking about pitch framing you cannot frame a pitch that you are lunging for and many strike calls are missed when a catcher has to move from where he set up to where the pitch actually ends up. In this case Narvaez was set up inside and the pitch ended up on the outer half and a bit above the belt. ( not right down the middle but also not on the outer edge . The ball was all clearly in the zone. Narvaez had to do a quick lunge across the plate caught it of course in the zone but lunging causes momentum and his glove after he caught it continued out of the zone. It is nuts to blame the catcher on that.

Hey I don't make this stuff up . Ok yeah the birthday stuff I did. But seriously in todays game that's what they said about his uncle just paying the guy for the ball.

Turns out his uncle didn't catch it. Just paid the guy who had it .

Good job !

You earned a trophy though !

You didn't click the link I provided ?

Not only that it was his birthday too !

Hey some cluster luck . 3 hits in a row equaling 2 runs.

Now would be a good time for Avi to stop slumping.
