speaking of Lance
« on: May 13, 2006, 03:08:46 pm »
did anyone else see him throw the ball around the infield by throwing it to AE after his great stretch? only problem was there was a runner on 2B.

Often wrong, but never in doubt.

I saw that and wondered. I hoped maybe he saw something going on at 2nd that required a throw...

Yeah, that's just Lance being Lance. He might have been trying to get somebody like he did Soriano in early April!

Where do you rank Berkman in terms of defensive first basemen in the NL? Think he has a golden glove shot?

My own personal opinion is that he's in the top 3 or 4, but that he has zero shot at a Gold Glove, at least not this year.  GG seems to be substantially influenced by name recognition, and while Lance has been a star player for years, the national media likely has no real established "perception" of him as a 1B.

One of my friends disputes this, but I swear that I saw Lance reaching for a bag of sunflower seeds, stuffed into his pants while catching a throw from the pitcher while a holding runner on first. If it's true, I don't give a shit about fundamentals, that's just funny.

I saw him do that on Fox Sports West out here.

I thought there must be seeds shells all over the place around first base.

only saw Gameday/boxscore of today's game...did Lamb pinch-hit for Berkman merely as a precautionary, or did his hammy flare up again?

His *ham* flared up. Garner must have been giving the Rockies first base coach a break in the top of the ninth from the constant verbal assualt. (Andy was pitching so well that Berkman didn't get many visitors)

One thing I did notice in the game, Lance did not try to dive for a ground ball between 1st and 2nd, even Brownie mentioned it. Biggio got to it and threw him out. So maybe he is taking it easy on his legs for a few days.
