Never was going to be easy of course.
So close but cannot be overturned.
Was closer than I thought after seeing replay. Rizzo was not stretched out like you often see a first baseman which kept it a little closer. Was also trying to play the bounce. Great last out all around. Wow. Thankfully.He got him. What a play. And that’s why Voit isn’t playing first.
690West with the call (plus two more innings).Heaney will go 5 IP tonight with 1 ER. Mark my words Kirby.
If he stretches, that ball eats him up. He was anticipating the throw coming in on the hop.Was closer than I thought after seeing replay.

Exactly. I am just saying, the play was closer because there wasn't a stretch. Not that it was not the correct play. Ball got there quicker than the "close-ness" of the play may have indicated, due to the approach Rizzo needed to take.If he stretches, that ball eats him up.

Never ever.
Should have given Britton another inning and let Chapman start working things back out against the Twins.

No arguments there. Incredible play.Rizzo's explanation: "If that ball gets by me, the tying run is on second base, so I just played it into as long a hop as I could. It was a great play all around."
The Battle of Britton may be turning.Well, Britton's been pretty wobbly lately. Tonight his velocity and movement were good, location a little less so. All in all, he had a good inning, which he needed. I'm okay with Boone getting him out at that point. "One at a time is good fishing."
You stole the almanac, didn't you, Biff?Heaney will go 5 IP tonight with 1 ER. Mark my words Kirby.
