For all of the bad things Nyjer Morgan has done on the basepaths, and with the bat this year, sometimes he really comes through. Rather than speculate on a pitcher’s shoulder injury, I decided to just post some pictures of the first inning run Morgan manufactured last night.
Who’s on First? Nyjer, not getting picked off!
The approach
The landing
Calling timeout, catching his breath for a moment
The play might have been close, but the throw wasn’t
So not close, in fact, that it scooted out to left
So Nyjer attempts to scoot home
Nyjer slides in before the throw
And that man is safe at home
