Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5552522, member: 1969"] Or even run in straight through like first base. Estimates by some are that he could have had his jump lead as the pitch is coming in be somewhere around 8 feet longer. It was wild that he was so unaware / asleep on the play. Chris Black also put out a stat that the ratio of ground balls to the first base side vs liners to the third base in Varsho's career is 415 to 1. Protecting against the liner to the third baseman when the guy has 1 line drive out to third baseman in over 200 at bats is crazy. Many plays could have won us the World Series, but to lose on such a fundamentally poor play that was totally within our control frustrates the bleep out of me. [/QUOTE]
