Well that's 21k people that got to watch Brendan Donovan make a little league mistake and lose the game in extras.
There was no universe where he had a change in hell of making that throw home to get that out. Cost the team the run they eventually lost by.
Oops.
But on the plus side, I'm really not sure how you pitch to Nootbaar right now. He is seeing the ball so well. And it was just a standard take that really told me that. Just a high and inside fastball I think from Detmers and the moment it was thrown he just moved back a little and watched it hit the glove in front of his face.
He knew exactly where it was headed immediately. No exaggerated flailing, clearly not caught off guard. He just...saw it. Took a couple more pitches and I think he ended the AB with a single to RF.
He's just locked in.
