Without seeing either play, I'd guess it was either a misread or just a mental blunder from the outfielders. I don't get the feeling like Hunter is one to play it safe...he's never been afraid to dive for a ball or climb a wall. As far as Rivera goes, well, lets just say he's no Tori Hunter...he probably misjudged the ball and mentally wasn't present enough to realize the situation called for a dive. Thats my guess.

Although there was a check swing that was incorrectly called for a ball in the same at bat which made Reeds call even more frustrating. Worst of all was Juan Rivera not laying out for that duck fart in left for the game winner. I saw Torey Hunter uncharacteristicly ease up on a ball in the outfield in a recent game, it seems the Angels have the mentality that they just need to get to the playoffs healthy. Do you think there is any truth to the team slowing down and playing it safe? The pitch that you are talking about was a bad call.
