Really...the guy had a perfect fielding percentage in regular season, is on the USA collegiate team, and is a finalist for a gold glove; and all we can do is complain about a couple of plays he didn’t make? How about congratulating the kid for what he accomplished or shut the hell up.

Must be ok if you misjudge a fly ball so badly it goes over your head and the other side ties the game because of it
