We were taught to make a quick step towards first if a ball was hit to the right side regardless. Pick a point about eight to ten feet before the bag and hit it and run up the line. You have a better idea where the bag is so you can concentrate on the flip if necessary and you never cross the baseline thus preventing a collision. Familia broke slowly and the took his eye off the ball. He was a mess on the mound.

Lex and others were correct. Giants are too old and too prone to injury. Still can do damage in the post season or deal Rodon for prospects in July. But please Farhan no more Fairchild’s and Papierski’s.
