I might be in the minority but I put it on Headley. Throw the damn ball.
The ball was VERY catcable, wasn't thrown too hard and above the ankles.
Error - Drew.
Isn't it funny Drew's biggest asset as a ".200" hitter has been his steady defense and now mishandles a soft toss at least eight inches off the ground for an error allowing two unearned runs to tie the game in the latest most important game of the year....?
Baseball is indeed a
funny game.
Lesson learned?
Maybe GJG in the remaining games
will not put BOTH Drew and Ryan in the lineup at the same time in fear of Pirela (or Refsnyder) being shakey on defense.
I'd rather take my chances with Pirela as one of the other players(2b) INSTEAD of having both Drew and Ryan in the lineup...I'm referring to yesterday's game with Tanaka pitching an absolute gem and getting only ONE RUN support.
Can always pull Pirela for defense after the 6th or 7th inning.
But let's blame this one on Cashman.
Give the kid Pirela at bats...he's a free swinger and NEEDS at bats to show what he can do. He is a .255 ML hitter and I believe can do better.
Not saying he's a great hitter, but imo he is a better hitter than Ryan and probably Drew....lol
We'll never know because this kid will probably never get a good long look.
