Phill Cuzzi at 3B July 23

[p1timeblue]

At this time, I can't find a posted video highlight, but after having ESPN on for the past few hours, I noticed his position for a play at 3B.

From my memory:

Earlier tonight, BOS @ SEA, some runner attempts to take 3B, and F3 throws to F5. Cuzzi is in fair territory behind the bag to make the out call.

We should be in the library for this call, right?

Discuss, and thanks.

May or may not be the play you are referring to.

Figgins is a Diva...he could see that throw was offline and did nothing to attempt to back it up.

Yes, I think he was out of position on the play...as Palermo once told me..."you never want to be looking up a guys a$$ to make a call."

This video does show his position I'm talking about, so thanks.

Nope, Cuzzi did fine. He went out on the ball (Not very far because it became clear there would be no catch & the ball would stay in play). HP was the lazy one - he should have rotated up to 3B. Cuzzi had to hustle back to make the call from the best spot he could reach.

Was this the same game that he jumped out of the way of a ball hit down the line, ....called it FOUL, then pointed FAIR?

Did anyone see that one?
