I noticed something else watching the slo mo replay a few times . JJ is NOT wearing a Rawlings baseball glove. Cmon JJ ! Rawlings is THE glove to wear in St. Louis ! Get with the program JJ ! No wonder you are flubbing those grounders .

I have never owned anything but a Rawlings Heart of the Hide Pro 3 after I was 12 years old. (XPG 3.) I saved for over a year to buy that glove.

Edited to add:

I have a new one in our basement for my Grandson. He is 19 months old and is a twin. His twin sister doesn't have one yet since she is acting like she is a lefty. When we figure out which hand she will throw with, I'll get her a glove.

Anybody else watching hate the centerfield camera position? Base runner or shortstop keep getting in the way of seeing the catcher.

Regarding JJs baserunning, I just saw a replay of him being thrown out at 3b when the Cardinals scored their run in the first.

Was this a matter of him trying to draw a throw to ensure that Burleson scored from second, or was this bad base running by JJ?

Any thoughts?

I think both. I think he was trying to take a throw away from Burleson trying to score from second on the basehit but I’m not sure it was needed. The bad part was it looked like he was almost giving himself up so Burleson could score. He kinda just stopped in the middle which didn’t help matters much.

Poor baserunning play.

Burleson was going to score on that.

The play was right on front of him.
