Awesome play, and even better old school stirrups the kid is wearing.

BCSN sent in their raw footage last night, so it will be shown on ESPN from now on, instead of that cell phone camera taping the TV lol.
I think ESPN now has all 3 angles and in HD.

Do you think the catcher was intentionally flipping the ball up or is that just the way it went due to the fact that it is a catcher's mitt?

I wondered the same thing myself after I saw the replay--if he WAS just trying to keep it alive, that's a helluva heads up play in the heat of the moment!cruiser_96;1183777 wrote:Do you think the catcher was intentionally flipping the ball up or is that just the way it went due to the fact that it is a catcher's mitt?

Doubt he was flipping it up on purpose. It was just a combinatoi of things......running after the ball, diving, trying to avoid the baserunner, and the mitt itself.cruiser_96;1183777 wrote:Do you think the catcher was intentionally flipping the ball up or is that just the way it went due to the fact that it is a catcher's mitt?

Looks to me like the catcher was trying to catch it.

What did the ball bounce off when he first hit it?
