    I think he got an error on that faster one.

    I was at the game and we were wondering where he picked up the error.

    I don't get how you can consider that throw an error. Very few could even get the ball to the plate in time and it wasn't far off target.

    I froze the play right after the ball gets past Vazquez.

    He is about 8' up the 3rd base line.

    Benson is in a head first slide about 1-2' from home

    The ball is right behind Vazquez and above Benson's back.

    The throw's trajectory was to the back of the plate but if Christian stays at the plate, there is no way he should miss it and had a chance to get the runner.

    I don't understand why he decided to go up the line instead of just moving to the back of the plate to catch the ball.

    The error should have been on Vazquez IMO.

    If the season ends up being successful I think it will be because the young OF broke out.

    One run in the last 13 innings. Walker 0 for 11 in the series.

    Espada needs to be fired. He makes DUMB decisions.
