he could not possibly know the ball was going to be overthrown and run from second

in enough time to make that play.

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
