As a little leaguer you are taught to find the base and then stretch to where the ball is going. Jose was both off balance and trying to stretch before he saw the direction of the throw. That completely killed his catch radius. That ball could have been only 2 feet away from the bag and he still wouldn’t have gotten to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just did, his right foot was on the part of the base closest to home plate. Why would it be there on a throw that goes to the outside part? I think he got to base late and caused for awkward footwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bad throw no doubt, but the footwork by Abreu was horrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ottawa_sox Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 If he was 8 feet tall, Abreu would still not have made the out at first. And Moncada should have been aware of who was running. He had plenty of time to make a better throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Carlos has way better chance of pitching at lower velocity than Giolito due to slider and high fastball capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, almost looks like he's getting to the base too late and it's hurting his ability to stretch correctly for the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really either, but we saw flashes from Gio at 95ish and he continued to lose. If 90-91 is where he settles in, he's in trouble. I don't think there will be enough difference between his fastball and breaking stuff. Edited June 9, 2018 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
