00:00So we already are getting calls about the end of the game and the fact that while we
00:07really enjoyed seeing Luis Robert hit home runs, hit knock-in runs, he had four hits
00:13or something.
00:14He had a great game.
00:15The problem is that at the end of the game, when the winning run is about to score, he
00:21didn't really set up.
00:22He just caught the ball and that's the walk-off was the sacrifice fly.
00:29And he didn't, he wasn't set up.
00:31I don't know if he would have gotten the guy, Ozzy, but he didn't even make the old college
00:36try.
00:37And you wonder, everyone's kind of wondering, is this another case of not knowing how many
00:41outs they were?
00:43Did he think that was the end of the inning?
00:45What was your take on the end of the game?
00:47Well, first of all, the route, it was very, very bad.
00:52See like every time you go to make a play like that, it's flat foot, really flat foot,
00:59you know, get behind the ball like everybody else or like the way they teach playing the
01:04outfield.
01:05But I know, I don't think he's going to go to throw him out from there.
01:09I'm pretty sure he never will.
01:12But the route of the ball sound like, you know, sound like, sound like this conversation
01:16will be, people will talk about it.
01:19You know what I mean?
01:20We talked about it last night.
01:21I tried to explain what I did to me, it looked like you don't know how many outs it was.
01:27But at the end of the day, when I say I look down and I see how far I was, I don't have
01:31any chance.
01:32I believe that.
01:34But the problem was the route, that's the way he do it, by the way, that's the way he
01:38do a lot.
01:39I think we're going to show that tonight on the show, like every time they have an opportunity
01:44to do the how flat foot it is, sometimes throw the ball sideways to the base, he's going
01:51to throw and that's not the way people teach.
01:55I cannot talk about the outfield because I never teach the outfield, but I see a lot
01:58of guys throwing, how they go by the business, how they go with the play.
02:03Unfortunately, he not do that yesterday.
