Was This Necessary?

I know I'm a few days late on this, but....



Sure, Shane Victorino shows on this play why he is the "Flyin' Hawaiian", but what was this guy thinking? There was no way he was going to catch this ball. To me, this move was a little ridiculous. He risked serious injury and Lord knows we don't have the depth to replace this guy. However, I suppose this is what a team has to resort to when you have absolutely no confidence in your bullpen.

You sound like someone who never laced 'em up. He made a hell of an effort and just missed making the play. Yeah, he coulda gotten hurt but he too coulda made the play. Give me 10 Victorino's.

Victorino may have heart, but he lacks a brain. The catch would have not counted since he was in the stands. I guess the lack of a brain is what gets him frequently thrown out on the basepaths and prohibits him from ever walking.
