Bases juiced, guy hits a chopper to 3rd. RUNNERS ARE MOVING on the ground ball. It's a chopper.....wasn't just smoked right to him. DeMartini is an elite 3rd baseman. He has phenomenal footwork. He knows how to attack baseballs and when to sit back. He had no choice but to attack the baseball. In that process, his momentum took him well into the grass of the infield. There was a near Zero percent chance of him fielding that ball, hitting the breaks, and then somehow getting back to the baserunner who was nearly to third. No way. He made the right play going to first. Was going to be bang bang so he had to rush it. The throw was errant and Michel did what all first basemen are taught to do and tried to swipe the tag. That play happens in baseball quite often. The result yesterday in unfortunate - it really sucks.....but to say you can't forgive a kid (again, he made the right play) is a little wacky.
