i saw this yesterday, and i dont understand why people are making fun of him?

he slides early so he doesnt get plunked by the throw back to first.

doesnt anyone watch baseball anymore?

He needs to recheck the math on his feet to meters conversion.

Except the guy fielding the throw is practically in center field when he starts his slide.

If the 1B wasn't terrible it wouldn't have looked like it did. The shitatstic field and throw made it look goofy. Also if it was any other player no one would bat an eye. But this has the whole Manny being Manny thing

He looks like he's giving about 15 percent out there.

Because its Manny Ramirez? Have you never seen the idiot play?

No one slides THAT early, especially if they have a chance to be safe, and in this case if Manny had slid correctly he would have been.

i know but he was anticipating a clean throw, where he would have been out by a few steps.

this happens all the time.


yes Manny is an idiot. Also one of the best 6 or 7 righthanded hitters to ever swing it

"this happens all the time."

Does it? I don't see many throws that pull somebody that far off the bag still get somebody out. I mean, the 2nd baseman was a good 6 feet off the bag (toward center field) and was still able to tag him out with minimal effort.

Damn, watching Manny in the dugout afterwards, he was tired as frick. That 72 foot run took a lot out of him.

I would take that idiot over almost any other modern day right handed hitter when he was in his prime
