Suzuki makes up for missed knuckleball
Kurt Suzuki loses his glove while attempting to catch a knuckleball from R.A. DickeyNEW YORK -- The knuckleball from R.A. Dickey fluttered in and took a severe late left turn, and Kurt Suzuki missed it.
It happens. It's an accepted hazard of trying to catch a knuckleball. But this one bothered Suzuki more than most, because it allowed the tying run to score in the fourth inning of the Braves' Thursday afternoon game against the Mets.
"Just the competitor in me," the Braves catcher said. "If I'd only caught it, they don't score."
