What was Andy Pages’ mistake?
Andy Pages hit a single to open an inning, but then Alex Freeland fouled out on a hit-and-run play, when Pages was on his way to second base, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. the Toronto Blue Jays first baseman took advantage of the fact that Pages did not know that the ball had been caught and completed a double play.
What did Dave Roberts say about Andy Pages’ error?
“It was a direct steal. I thought he had a good jump. Alex puts the ball in play, a fly ball. You have to know where the ball is. He didn’t look. He didn’t look at the third base coach and he was thrown out at second. Andy has grown a lot as a player. But those are things we have to keep improving on.”, Dave Roberts, Los Angeles Dodgers manager.
