NFL Continues To Not Have A Clear Idea Of What A Catch Is

Let's Relive The Time Sean Casey Got Thrown Out At First From Left Field
For no particular reason, former ballplayer Sean Casey went on the Dan Patrick Show today and talked about the time he got thrown out at first on a ball he hit to left field.

Miguel Cabrera Forgets To Wear Glove, Gets Out Anyway
Look, you can yell “that’s why he’s never won a Gold Glove” or “process over results” or “Miggy should probably be wearing his glove when he’s holding the runner on first base” until you’re blue in the face, but he got the out didn’t he? ...
