Of all the DRays Bay writers, I may be the biggest Joey Wendle fan, and the biggest Joey Wendle believer. Which are two very different very things, by the way. But there was a moment in Friday night’s game that put even me in eye-roll mode.
Wendle — playing third — made a nice catch on a pop up in foul ground. It was by no means a spectacular play, but it wasn’t routine either. On the spectrum, it was probably one of the easier non-routine plays you’ll see, and quite frankly one that a big league third baseman needs to make.
