Punto WOW. His hitting is starting to affect his fielding

It was 1 game!

even good defenders make errors so can't really fault punto on that because he has played good defense his entire career and errors are bound to happen. on the negative side he now probably has the worst baserunning blunders each of the past 2 seasons for the team with is bumble last night to go along with running through the stop sign last year in the playoffs. he wants to be a leader but he needs to realize that there is a 3b coach there for a reason and he just needs to worry about himself instead of worrying about other base runners. he's got enough problem getting on base so he can't be screwing up those limited opportunities with mental errors.

Why isn't anyone down on Span? It was his error in the first place that caused the whole blunder. But when a team scores 8 runs it should be able to win the game.

span screwed up too but this isn't his thread so that's probably why not much is being mentioned about him here. unfortunately punto unnecessarily magnified span's mistake into something even bigger so that's my reason for the rant.

The sad part of it Punto was interviewed after the game and said he and about half the team didnt realize if he touches home before the out at second the run counted. Managers at the major league level should not have to coach that. I hope Punto hits a homer tonite, but will probably slide head first into home.
