Quote: I think we're back to destiny again. A fairly routine fly ball to right and Cruz just mucked it up beyond belief. He actually slowed down, meaning had he jsut kept going back at regular speed he makes the catch.
I gotta agree with Mz Fenton.
That was a World Series winning catch and he didn't go all out to get it. If he makes that catch, he's a hero on the Wheaties Box next week.
He allowed himself to make the worst possible play on that ball... he either needed to go full speed, make the catch, and slam into the wall for the victory, or he needed to not go after the ball at all, and play the carom. If he hangs back and plays the carom well, he may be able to prevent the game from getting tied.
A big leager is expected to make one of those two plays to win a World Series, and he botched it by going half way in between.
