I keep watching it over and over. AP threw between his legs! He looked like a female pornstar... except not as attractive as most female pornstars!

I gotta tell you, I'm loving these high speed cameras by FOX. Some GREAT shots so far.

What? He obviously needs work in the outfield. I am not saying punt him or anything.

I think 1 or 2 years is a bit drastic, but he certainly does need work. I think he should play OF in winter league ball and throughout Spring Training, and then see where he is. Have him take triple OF practice every day between now and next season. Whatever we can do to get his bat in the lineup without it hurting us.

That is a good point, but making routine catches in the outfield is still a far cry from making snap decisions on throws in the infield.

It's not like he's misjudging line drives...he's screwing up easy popups and flyouts that he's not even having to track side to side.

I agree--I was mostly thinking about the stage...Maybe Duncan makes those plays (just like those pitchers might) on a smaller stage.

Another reason maybe TLR is right abut veterans.

Does that ball fall in if Duncan is in RF?

Duncan face-plants and it goes for an inside-the-park homerun.

Or, short answer: yes.

Anybody else think that lead singer looks like JRod?

JRod isn't that talented.
