This could have been our first baseman!

Pertinent Quote:

With runners at the corners in the second inning, Dunn charged a chopper and made a throw home that sailed 10 feet wide of the catcher. Before the inning ended, Henry Blanco hit a two-run double off Jeremy Guthrie (0-2), and Jose Lopez and Miguel Cabrera each doubled home a run.

Adam and Scott must be related.

This is probably the first time anyone has ever claimed that Dunn and Rowand are similar players.

I was going off of the errant throw by 10 feet.

Sounded like Scott to me.

Except Rowand needs to throw 150 feet or more to miss by 10 feet. Throwing 10 feet off target from less than 90 feet away…that’s a true gamer.

But Scott’s error would have been gritty.

Dunn’s error occurred because he was yawning and looking at his watch. You know, because he HAETS BASEBALL!!1

And for those that would have put Dunn in the OF….. a few WBC games ago I saw him botch a fly ball to right that bounced off his wrist and rolled away from him. Harold Reynolds lawled and said that was routine and should have been caught.

And I saw him get called out on a pitch down the middle the other night too. For having such a “great eye” he sure sucks at knowing when to swing at obvious strikes.

I saw that! He couldn’t get a read on the ball and his glove was about 6 inches too high.

I forgot who was with Reynolds, but he was trying to justify that the ball was spinning and was a tough ball to catch. That was the routine shallow flyball that should’ve benn caught. When they replayed it again, I was lol’ing myself because Reynolds kept insisting it should be an error.

I think it was Al Leiter, who did a pretty good job when he did a few games for Fox (but then again he was with Buck and McCarver. Harry Caray would look good compared to those two).
