That is if the ball is in fair territory dude. If you feel you can catch the ball in foul territory and quickly get out of the way of the runner, you do exactly that. I'll wait for my apology tomorrow lol
Watch the replay man... you'll see how bad of a job vladdy did to make Jansens life easier.
Of course Jansen could have been better but he was worried about Gordon running to 3rd on the play too... Vladdy did nothing on his end except being extremely casual and making the wrong fundamental decision.
Then he should have given Jansen a clear lane to throw the ball. Caleb broke that down in the post game how Vladdy stood in fair ground when Jansen was throwing from foul territory. That's why Jansen had to flip it over the runner because Vladdy has pathetic baseball instincts.
Maybe Chapman being a negative defender at 3B by the metrics isn't that crazy after all... I thought that was outlandish when I first saw it but he could just look great in comparison to last year's pathetic defense there lol
