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
