xiberger Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 With all the talk about glitches lately, I would like to know if anybody has experienced this one as well: Sometimes (with a runner on first), when the infield is playing deep and I hit a ground ball to the short stop, he'll throw the ball to the second baseman (in an attempt to turn a double play), even though that guy is still a good 20+ feet away from his base. But then, magically, the 2B sorta "glides" over there very rapidly, without even moving his feet! I call it the "beaming play"... :roll: Has anyone ever seen this happen?

seanzarelli Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Nope, can't say that I have. However, last night in my game Ervin Santana got hit in the head with a linedrive that bounced up to the shortstop who caught it for an out. Later on, he got hit in the head again and the ball almost bounced backed to the catcher, and then he got hit in the back turning away from a hit up the middle. All this, and no injury. I called it the Man of Steel Ervin Santana Glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big shmooz Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Maybe he was so injured that he didn't know he was injured & so he continued to pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tally Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I've also had that glitch once, but it was a little bit different. I had a runner on 1st with no outs. I hit a ground ball to the shortstop. He tried to throw it to the 2B but he was just running away on the outfield. The ball litteraly got thrown to nobody. And then in a fraction of a second the 2B made a 1000mph slide to his base and made the tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
