Re: Bobby Abreu
I see what you are saying, it was on the Arod DP in the fourth inning, but if you get a chance to watch the play again it wasn't going to be a very close play at second base. The ball was hit hard and Lowell got it to Loretta rather quickly. I don't think Bobby was close enough to even attempt to break it up. However I heard the same things about his lack of effort when he was in Philly, and most of it I have yet to see. I think he forgot the outs during the second game on friday and there was a play in Chicago where he almost got picked off first on an Arod pop-up. A couple mental mistakes that really won't fly in NY so I do hope he turns that around but I am not alarmed. However, what has become very clear is that he shys away from walls. I heard that rumor as well when they got him from Philly and there is certainly truth to that. Does anyone know if he ever got hurt by running into the wall, or something like that?
