"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

I called SFGiangst a blockhead in Korean. It’s all I know how to say. That and hello. I really want to go tomorrow night but I’m po’folks until payday.

What happened with Velez?

Gameday says error on him, fair or not?

by withclubsauce on May 12, 2008 9:37 PM PDT 0 recs

I think he threw it past Molina

Shouldn't be.

Error on Yabu.

error on yabu for the throw by bowker

but then Velez fielded it and airmailed it over Bengie’s head

who made the second throw? Because a runner advanced on that foolishness.

Oh perhaps a runner advanced and that would be charged to Velez...

But the runner would have scored whether Velez overthrew Bengie or not. Yabu should get the 2 run error.

That's what Gameday says.

2 runs scored on Yabu’s pickoff error.
Runner advanced on Velez’s throwing error.

But how did it happen? I only have Gameday to follow.

The TV was talking about some promotion when it happened, but it all started when Yabu tried a sneaky pickoff throw that Bowker had no idea was coming.

the replay showed that while Yabu was off the rubber, he made a subtle motion to Bowker with his glove. John must not have seen it because he barely had a chance to flinch when Keichi threw over. Ball went sailing by, Velez chased it down and then chucked a ball that damn near went into the Giants dugout.

Whole story..

Yabu was trying to make a trick pickoff with Bowker. He tried signlaling to Bowker to move over to first to get the throw but Bowker didn’t so it was thrown down the line. Two runs were coming around and Velez got to it first and threw to Molina and it was high.
