He threw to the right bag.

And then earlier in the game, I think Greg criticized him for being a little lackadaisical on a throw-in back to second.

And he was saying, saying if the guy on first had taken off, he might've been safe.

He was going to go back and tag.

Right.

And then at the beginning of the game, Greg Brown in the first at bat said, Cruz can't be happy about being sat yesterday.

He is just a lightning rod in everything he does, no matter how mundane and everything he doesn't do, no matter how mundane it, he's the story.

He's a story.

And I know you guys will admit the truth here.

Even the most routine pop-up now to him in center field, everybody's on the edge of their seats.

It's like Polanco, correct?

Yes.

The ball he caught in extra innings yesterday, I was like, he's going to drop it.

Over a year.

This happened in August of 24.

Limits was only 11 then, Bob.

Kelly defended him after game one.

He's very important.

Well, let me ask you this, Bob.
