re: First baseman had wrong foot on the bag restricting his ability to stretch for the throw

horseshite! Yes, it was Milazzo’s fault. He should have made a better throw. But Milazzo did not have the advantage of watching the replay. He made an aggressive, snap decision and took command. It wasn’t a bad decision as the play proved. He made the play in time and he took the game out of a pitcher’s hands.

The problem was the throw. It was going to be a tough defensive play either way. He had to throw a bullet and he had to throw it fast, without setting up. He didn’t get it done. But to say he was showboating and over-zealous is pussy fan stuff.
