Doug Padilla: Different perspectives
It shouldn't be too surprising that Chone Figgins (a base stealer) and Jose Molina (a catcher) had a difference of opinion on a stolen-base attempt during a game the players were watching on television Tuesday.
The players were watching when the Baltimore Orioles' Jeff Conine was trying to steal second base against the Cleveland Indians. Conine was caught stealing on a close play but Figgins and Molina had differing opinions.
Figgins was certain Conine slid under the tag, but of course he did. He makes a living trying to slip in under the tags of opponents. Molina was certain Conine was nowhere near safe. He saw a catcher making a perfect throw and the infielder completing a caught stealing with a perfect tag.
An inning later Conine went back on a ball to the left-field wall, tripped over his own player when retreiving the ball and fired a horrible throw to the infield that went for an error. Nobody was taking Conine's side that time.
