Well the wind in San Fran has always been trouble particularly in candlestick. And I agree on the edman one. But the two in short center, I feel watching bader, that he had a bead on those and would have caught them easily. Now had those guys called for it,I couldn’t tell. But I think him coming in, he has the easiest play as you will. So I feel he has to call those guys off and they have to give way. I mentioned in another post, maybe someone has talked to him about not being as aggressive cause usually he goes after everything. I say that because in Colorado there was a play between him and Carlson in right where bader was coming hard from center and him and Carlson who I felt called it a little late when it should have been his ball all the way. At the last moment, Carlson gave way but it was close and bader just barely caught the ball cause he had to veer off a little to avoid collision and it looked like Carlson wasn’t happy about it. I personally felt he helped cause it plus center fielder should get everything he can, just has to be smart. Maybe they talked to him about being less aggressive and here is the result of that. I don’t know. I just know all he needed was one more step on each play and he would have been in position to catch those balls tonight but maybe cause of wind he wasn’t confident but his eyes told a different story.
