My Overlooked Play of the Game
I tend to get upset about the little things that nobody else notices. Tonight the defense has stunk, hitting hasn't been timely, but my key play: a foul ball by Yadier Molina in the six. Lawton, Castillo, and Ward were all converging on the ball, they all had a chance, and they all let up because they were running at each other. Had someone taken charge of the situation (Lawton) and called for it they could have made the catch. Instead they laughed about it and Molina went on to hit a single to start a 3 run six.
Then the next inning, had Cota been running up the line to back up the play at first we might have been able to catch Tagutchi at second on Castillo's throwing error. Don't tell me it's too much to expect from a catcher, the questionable defense of Jason Kendall made that exact play in Seattle last month.
