I saw a question posed, and I didn't quite know how to answer it.

Was it the best defensive game ever?

Yes.

Yeah.

How could it not be?

That's where I'm at.

Genuinely, try to answer it.

How could it not be?

What's the scenario where it wouldn't be?

And you could look at some of these unbelievably acrobatic catches that some of these guys make, and it's not to take away from those catches and how awesome they are.

If you reach over the wall and catch a ball that was going to go over the wall,

Objectively, regardless of how cool it looks, that's a more impactful catch than a full on extension sprawling diving play because you're saving a home run instead of what?

Maybe a double if it gets by you triple in a bad spot.

Ooh, see, now you're going to make me contradict myself because I think the diving catch is more... No, but I think I am a little bit because I think the diving catch is more impressive.

But when I was a kid, I had this soccer goal in my backyard, and me and my dad, we used to...

he would take a bat and he would hit fly balls to me and I would catch him like I'm catching pop flies.

And I would ask him, just try to hit it just over the soccer goal.

So I could try to pull it back.

Nothing cooler to me than a robbed Homer.

So yeah, I mean, I see all these guys, all these outfielders get asked the ones that are, that are good defenders and they get asked, what would you rather do hit a home run or rob a home run?
