Suicide DP - Have you ever seen one?

[ghostrunner]

This didn't even break into top 5 web gems by the way. Bias issues aside, that's ridiculous.

Larussa first said it was the best play he'd even seen by a catcher, then he added some play Matheny made against Philadelphia that I don't remember.

I don't see how anyone could call Yadi mediocre defensively at this point.

I watched BBTN at midnight. It was the top play on the web gems.

And the crew gushed over Wainwright's overall performance.

I watched the midnight show and they had a completely different number one, and they had talked about Wainwright already. Weird. Maybe it's a time zone thing.

I think it was deserving of a web gem. Physically it was not that spectacular of a play, mentally it was.

for Molina, yes; for Wainwright, I'd say that play was pretty "Physical" He had to react to the suicide squeeze, barehand a ball that was not moving all that slowly, and flip it home off-balance.

I watched the midnight BBTN as well (11:00 central) and Wainwright didn't crack the top 5.....Vizquel jumping on a DP was number 2, Inge diving play was number 3, Duffy diving catch was number 4 I believe, and I can't for the life of me remember number 1 but it wasn't Waino

We're looking pretty bad here. But yeah, the rest of the order is as I remember it.

Baseball Tonight doesn't have a website. Doesn't that seem stupid. You'd think the Web Gems would be on the uh, web. ( i know that's not the meaning of web in this case)

EDIT - i remember now, it was Uggla

I was at the game that included the Matheny play. That was incredible.

What was the play?

If I remember correctly, it was the bottom of the 9th and the Cards had a one run lead....Izzy was pitching and loaded the bases with 2 outs....he struck the guy out (I believe it was Lieberthal but that's a guess) but it was a wild pitch....Matheny went back immediatly, it took a richochet off the back wall and Matheny picked it out of the air and threw Lieberthal out by a step..

I think this is the play he's talking about but I could be wrong....

That's the one. It was Burrell, actually. He swung at a high fastball, a 3-2 pitch, and it sailed over Matheny's head.

If he takes the pitch, it's ball four and the game is tied.

If he runs as soon as the ball gets past Matheny, he's safe at first and the game is tied.

If he could run faster than a 69-year-old woman, he's safe at first and the game is tied.

Instead he hesitated, ran really slowly and was out by an eyelash at first base. It was grand.

What's really sad about that is I can remember a play from 3 years ago in a Cards regular season game but can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday...

Yeah, AW kind of got overlooked here. It was a great play all around.
