seldom right and wrong again. i played an continue to play. if i was the Toronto infielder i would have focused on the ball and nothing else.
to go even further, i would recognize the voice of the fielder next to me and be able to 30 years old his voice from anybody else's voice.
last but not least i would have caught the ball like i am supposed to for the 3rd out and probably shouted something back at ARod. or let him know he would have to try harder than that to distract me from doing my job.
You haven't played, you don't play...It's not a big deal but it's so obvious stop. You can't just "focus" on the fucking ball....You keep your eye on the ball while avoiding planting your feet and that's just for starters.....
You have communication with your teammates, paying attention to your surroundings, avoiding bases, walls, grass & dirt lines, bumping into your mates, where the balls is going to go next like attention to other runners when you're holding them on. You have to be ready to be called off the play, that's why it's a fucking RULE and that's why he dropped it. He was expecting the same play he's made a thousand times not prepared to hear a Runner yell out shit, because no one does that shit.
Recognize the voice on the field? Did you just seriously say that? I thought you said just "focus" on the ball now it's distinguishing voices of other players? It's simple, you're not expecting to hear an idiot runner scream shit in the Pro's or little league, that's why it's a fucking rule. It's interference.
This isn't Major League the movie. Professionals don't do that shit, but Aroid did. If anyone, from the Pro's to a city league player hears "I got it" it's going to disrupt them. If you've had adrenaline running through your veins let alone understand how it effects you'd know it. "You'd just focused on the ball" makes me laugh.
It's even a rule in drunk adult softball leagues but no one does that childish shit. I played a couple-ish seasons of adult baseball when I was young and no one did it because it's flat out embarrassing to you and the team.
When I started racking up the injuries in football and MTBing in the off season I dropped into playing in drunk softball leagues and if anyone did that shit their own team would treat the player like a fucking douche bag.
And were not even talking about Aroid slapping the ball out of the glove while running to first. It just shows how big of a bitch Aroid is. Plays like that are stuff spoiled toddlers do. Aroid is an arrogant, lying, cheating spoiled bitch who thinks the world revolves around his big head.
Taking Roids and lying about it, slapping the ball out of a glove, yelling when a fielder is going to make a catch equals a douche bag.
