250lb plus couldn’t hang in there and catch the ball to first base?

Was it even catchable? The angle of replay was shitty

Totally agree with this. Move your feet and get in a better position to catch the ball.
There’s a real good chance Morgan makes that play last year and it likely looks casual.
(Not that it was a good throw)

Why couldn’t our defensive specialist catcher just make a good 45 foot throw?

It was a really timid effort from Jones. Not sure it would have mattered but he definitely alligator armed that

For those wondering why he ain’t a football player, he showed you tonight

He’s soft like the rest of the team. Sorry not sorry.

I had to tune out after 7 innings - sorry to hear that Jones made an error for the loss.

But I think he has been great at first - not the magician that we had last year - but he has made some really great plays - even duplicating the 'magical' push toss to the plate to nail a runner coming in from 3rd on a bunt - almost as good as Morgan's 'once in a lifetime' play last year.

But I think there were plenty of bone-head plays that I did see which would not have put us in the 'one error means defeat' position that we evidently faced last night.

missing 3rd base comes in high on that list.

First baseman is taught to set up on the inside of the bag to give the catcher a lane to throw to

Almost impossible to adjust to a ball thrown on the other side of the bag from that short a distance

Really not a lot Jones can do there on that type of bad throw

Let’s play a scenario. So jones catches it, gets truck sticked, and gets concussed and is out at least a week. We are still fricked because we lose the next 2 anyways without our hottest player.

Blaming jones is a really easy, bullshite misplacement of blame

Why not blame Herring for walking 3 straight with 2 outs?

Bear needs hit the MLB draft asap and get away from this type of crap.

It has been the case multiple times this year, trying to stretch for a ball that had no chance of staying on the bag for.
