Why he always had the runner between him and the tag is beyond me......almost every play. He takes all plays at the plate from the first base line extended. Worst spot possible. As far as his plate job, I'm very happy he got through it without incident. Remember last year when he lost the count in Seattle.... Walked Maybin from SD on three balls....Maybin steals second and scores on a dribbler through the infield. Seattle lostthe game 1-0. How about in NYM where ftirstbaseman's pulled his foot...he refuses to get help and Nationals end up losing the game in the 9th. He is a time bomb. MLB played Russian roulette letting him on the playoff diamond. I'm glad it was an empty chamber.
