So, I think I have an idea for Rob.

When the ball is in the dirt in front of you, either to your left or your right, go down to one knee, towards the ball, and that way it will hit you in the big pad they call a “Chest protector” so you don’t have to be afraid of the ball hurting you.

Crazy I know, but it’s worth a try.

The ball that goes up and away over his left shoulder, there was a high def camera on that right behind the ump.

They showed it in slow motion over and over again. Hit him right in the pocket, his wrist folds. Again, and again, and again…

That first one is actually pretty tricky to do - Felix should have gotten something for pulling that off.

Like a little green XBox 360 circle popping up on the ad space behind Rob, with the tag “Unmasked – 15 points”.

But, those snap throws to 3B

Those make the PB, “WP” that other catchers would have caught, and low CS numbers all worth it. That and the ponies he keeps for the pitching staff.

To be fair

I think this is more an indication on how wicked Felix’ stuff was the other night, not necessarily how good or bad Rob Johnson is behind the dish

Go M's
