Tremendous, classic, tragic Devil Rays moment:
Men on first and second, no outs. Jason Tyner lays down a bunt towards the pitcher. BJ Upton is playing second, and he doesn't even make an attempt to cover first. Edwin Jackson, who fielded the ball, realizes this and then turns to third to check Torii Hunter, who has wandered too far off the bag.
But Jackson fires the ball about 25 feet over the head of Ty Wigginton, and the ball goes deep into left field.
The inning continues...
Update:
BJ Upton makes a fielding error, Joe Mauer punches one to left, and the bases are loaded now with still only one out. Now Joe Maddon is out to replace Jackson, and young Edwin is NOT HAPPY. Not that you can blame him, Upton has killed him this inning.
Is there a bigger defensive liability in the majors than BJ Upton?
