Bad Fundamental Baseball

Missing third base is a mistake. A brain lock. A misstep. It is not bad fundamental baseball.

Leftfielder Angel Pagan getting in the way of centerfielder Carlos Beltran is horrendous fundamental baseball. Golden boy Daniel Murphy breaking from first base before the pitcher starts his windup is horrendous fundamental baseball. Luis Castillo continually bunting at the wrong time is horrendous fundamental baseball. Golden boy Daniel Murphy putting his glove in front of his face so that he can't see the ball is horrendous fundamental baseball. Check that, bad example, that is just a GodFuckingAwfulDisplay of non-athleticism.

Ron Darling's analysis was priceless, "Murphy put his glove in front of his face so he couldn't see the ball." The crack SNY crew stopped the action so we could see the ball, the glove but not Murphy's face. "See that Gary? Murphy's glove is right in front of his face. He couldn't see the ball during the last two feet of its flight."

It got better, "All you Little Leaguers out there. You should try to put your glove either above or below your face so you can see the ball. It makes it much easier to catch."

Sometimes it looks like the Golden Boy has never played baseball before. How can such a spaz actually hit a baseball? I thought it was the toughest thing in sports.

But missing third is not bad fundamental baseball. Stop calling up radio stations, youfucktards.
