DaveO Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 When a team is purposefully tanking, rids itself of every Major League player they can, has to pull players from what has been one of the worst minor league program in baseball you tend to get plays like the following below, "Will There Be a Worse MLB Play this Season than this Orioles Blunder?" by Jason Owens on aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article makes a great effort at building up what the 'all-time worst' of something - anything - means, and then goes on to say that, despite the build-up, it meets the definition. I cannot disagree - I've never, ever seen a worse defensive blunder than this. "The Orioles' Fielding Catastrophe May Well Be the Worst Play in MLB History" by Jon Tayler on si.com I guess the *only* excuse I can give it is that there was panic all around (which is true), but is that an excuse? I don't think so. The 1962 Mets should be feeling pretty good right about now. Incidentally, 2nd baseman Hanser Alberto is making $578,000 this year. His career batting average is .218.

DonRocks Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Clearly, Hanser Alberto thought he'd tag the runner going to second, and throw to first for the double-play - he was caught off-guard when the runner held up. That's not a very good excuse, but it induced panic and indecision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
