    IDK how Springer managed to end up safe. I thought he'd be out be several feet.

    Kudos to the grounds crew for overwatering the infield grass.... ball just died when it came in on the throw.

    (more water than has fallen from this massive tropical storm! HAHA)

    Springer is a legitimate 5 tool star.

    When a throw is that bad, is it an error?

    I'm stunned. Barnes was always good defensively, and was even in RF yesterday, yet somehow didn't have the arm to throw out Springer. I think he was just stunned like everyone else that he wasn't stopping at 3rd.

    I agree, you could see on the replay when he caught it he had no thoughts that he better get it in quickly

    Apparently he hadn't been told how we roll over in the 3B coaches box, lol

    Fair. Although if his average can sit at .275 that ain't too shabby.

    Would make more sense if the 5th tool is changed to OBP anyway.

    Lets just change it... none of these "tools" are official anyways.

    By the more important metrics, he's now a 5 tool player. His agent thanks you.

    VV looking very shaky today. I know he's young, but ya can't be tossing heaters across the heart of the plate.

    Our real center fielder George Springer would have got that one.

    VV is getting stung like Wojo. Unable to put batters away and getting ripped when they sit fastball.
