Fundamentals. Baseball has plenty of them, and the professionals are doing a decent job ignoring them for the most part. Last night, another pop-up was dropped as a player looked to catch it with one hand. This on the heels of the disaster that happened in New York not more than a week and a half ago.
In the same game last night, an outfielder catches a fly ball one-handed and nearly does not throw a pitcher out trying to score from third. Now, these guys are good. No doubt about that. Still, even they need a push once in a while that the game is not as easy as they might want it to be.
These mental lapses come before we talk about some of the awful throws we have seen in the last week, and the one that the Twins gave us last night. Maybe it is nice to know that these guys can make the same mistakes as a little league ball player. Or, we could just point and laugh.
The second option is more fun. Especially since it will get re-lived on SportsCenter and YouTube for a long time.
On to the notes.
