Giambi was running in a vat of molasses with 2 pianos on his back -- nm - amoxy Apr 25, 09:20 25
- the A's did everything correct on that play. - groiny Apr 25, 09:21 24
  - He was at second. Watch where he sprints from to get to the ball. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 09:22 23
    - amazing you can see that when they never put the camera on him until he runs into the picture. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 25, 09:24 22
      - You can see him running from second. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 09:24 21
        
        he could not possibly know the ball was going to be overthrown and run from second - groiny Apr 25, 09:25 13
        
        Sure he could. He ran to backup as soon as he saw the OF preparing to throw home and not to second. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 09:28 12
        
        the second baseman is responsible for taking the cutoff throw - groiny Apr 25, 09:30 11
        
        But in this case the 2nd baseman had gone into the OF for some reason and wasn't backing up anyone. Jeter made the smart decision to leave 2nd and go - Krusty Apr 25, 09:33 8
        
        Any ball into right field, the 2b goes into the OF to cut off. nm - Jim Apr 25, 09:34 3
        
        You guys are right about where the 2nd baseman should be but I still believe Jeter was at 2nd and moved after he realized where the ball was going. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 09:37 2
        
        there is not a man alive that can outrun a thrown ball. - groiny Apr 25, 09:39 1
        
        We can leave it here since this isn't going anywhere. It was fun though. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 09:40
        
        the second baseman is going out there to cut the ball off. - groiny Apr 25, 09:34 3
        
        You will not convince me that Jeter was out of position. I think he was in position and ran to backup after he saw where the ball was going. - Krusty Apr 25, 09:35 2
        
        I am sure I have a better chance of convincing you that Jeter is not actually Jesus. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 25, 09:36 1
        
        It's not about my liking Jeter. It's about the play. He was in position and then ran to backup. Simple. He did the right thing. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 09:37
        
        Yeah. Hah the throw hit the 2nd cutoff man, there was no one covering second to potentially tag out the hitter. -- nm - Jim Apr 25, 09:32 1
        
        right, and it not like the cutoff guy was completely airmailed. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 25, 09:33
        
        you see him running from the pitchers mound. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 25, 09:25 6
        
        At the :51 mark he's at full speed running and he's between the mound and first. - Krusty Apr 25, 09:27 5
        
        the throw missed the first baseman by about 2 feet, tops. - groiny Apr 25, 09:28 4
        
        He should have been there. He made a smart decision to backup when he saw where the throw was going. - Krusty Apr 25, 09:29 3
        
        I am sure he is smart, and I am sure he is fast. - groiny Apr 25, 09:31 2
        
        Giambi is safe if he's not there and the guy would still be safe at second since he would have gotten in standing up. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 09:34 1
        
        unless, of course, the guy rounds second base, and the cutoff man throws to second - groiny Apr 25, 09:36
It really worked out to his benefit, that he was completely out of position on the play. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 25, 09:17 17
- You wait. He'll win the gold glove this year too. effer -- nm - CQ Apr 25, 09:23 4
  - He's on the All Star ballot. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 09:24 3
    - He's basically a Barry Larkin on a better team. Average player that played a long time. Jeter may have led the league in one offensive category - CQ Apr 25, 09:26 2
      - Average? Come on! -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 09:28 1
        
        I'm doing him a serious disservice by linking him with Larkin. My bad. I'm still amazed Larkin got in the HOF -- nm - CQ Apr 25, 09:31
- Except you're wrong. He recognizes where the throw is going and runs to back up in the first baseman. Watch it again and see where he's running from - Krusty Apr 25, 09:21 9
  - do you still have his picture above your bed?? ;) -- nm - Don Homer Apr 25, 09:23
  - he ran all the way from second base to foul territory by first? - groiny Apr 25, 09:22 6
    - He was at second and sprinted to the line to backup when he saw where the throw was going. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 09:23 5

        I don't think I'm wrong and I'll argue as long as someone is willing to argue back. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 09:30 2
        
        I'm on your side about this. Moose always makes the same argument about him being out of position so you know it's wrong. -- nm - David Apr 25, 09:41 1
        
        I would agree if the ball missed the cutoff man by 20 feet. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 25, 09:42
      - lol. - groiny Apr 25, 09:24
  - exactly what I'd expect a yankee fan to say! -- nm - mafic Apr 25, 09:22

- hee. -- nm - Reagen Apr 25, 09:18
