Hopefully we can win the next two and prevent the Dodgers from being able to hop off the plan at LAX with their dream and their cardigan.

Maybin was atrocious defensively. He takes a step back on every flyball. It must be an OCD thing.

This is Festa.God would be expecting a first pitch breaking ball in the dirt because humans love to disappoint him.

If you use atrocious as an adjective for his play last night then what word(s) do you use to describe players who made costly errors last night?

No idea how Maybin's been taught, but I wouldn't be surprised if at some point he was taught that his first step should always be back and he's carried that with him through the minors.

Yeah, pretty sure it is taught everywhere. In the first two games, the bigger problem was that Maybin wasn't just taking a drop step back with whichever leg was necessary to open up right and get a good jump, but he was taking multiple steps back before coming in. I am not sure whether he can blame it on the wind or he generally has a poor recognition of balls hit in front of him.
