Making it look easy
During Thursday night’s matchup between the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, the Mets turned a play that is not seen every day.
With two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning, Phillies outfielder Jeff Francoeur grounded a ball up the middle, which kicked off the foot of Mets pitcher Carlos Torres over near first baseman Daniel Murphy, who dove for the ball and then no-look tossed the ball back to Torres, who ran over to cover first to make the close out.
Call it luck if you want, but situational awareness, keen reflexes, good teamwork execution, now, that's poetry in motion — and 'pleasing to watch' baseball!
