hey Tim, when a guy throws a first pitch strike 9 out of 20 times, and another guy is 11 out of 23, then NEITHER has thrown a first pitch strike “most of the time”.

Theriot throws wide of Lee, Lee leans over to make the catch.
Ump rules him safe, but replay looks like Lee got the ball just before Kent got there. Of course, ump couldn’t see the ball in Lee’s glove like we could on the replay.

Interesting that Piniella says we haven’t gotten a close call yet in the series. Given that managers get in trouble for criticizing the umps, that’s saying something.

Soto caught him stealing. It was a short hop that Theriot fielded then put down the tag really quick, actually
a good play to make that tag. He was out. The ball snow-coned a bit, but Theriot snapped it up so quick that the ball popped out. The umpire called him safe because he was “juggling” the ball.

Yes. A lot more power.
There are few players in the history of organized baseball who have shown less power than what Theriot is showing this season. I ran a quick count this morning – something like 6,000 ballplayers with over 100 PAs have had an OBP higher than their SLG. 4,000 of those were before 1954.

Soto has thrown out quite a few
runners, therefore, Theriot has caught a few throws to second. It just seems that Theroit looks more confident on the field at home. On the road he is much more passive and doesn’t charge balls, etc…
But it is not just Theriot, it seems everyone is a bit off on the road.

wouldn't it be something if Lou went out to the mound...

Lou's put offense before defense every time it's been an option.
This is his own damn fault.
