Alex Avila ownage of Ben Revere

Alex Avila just made one of the best plays I have seen this year, blocking home plate when Ben Revere tried to score an inside the park HR. A split second after getting the ball on the relay, Revere made contact with Avila, knocking him down-yet Avila didn't lose the ball and recorded the out. Revere is a pretty well built guy, for being a midget, so it was pretty impressive IMO.

And then triples in the bottom half of the inning, after doubling earlier in the game. Avila is just a lot of fun to watch.

5'9", 170. Revere isn't that big.

Good play, yes. One of the best, not even close. Revere was out by a mile. All he had to do was not drop the ball when the featherweight ran into him. Raburn deserves most of the credit with a very good throw.

"He was out by a mile."

Well, you obviously didn't see the play. Avila was hit within a second of catching the ball-pretty sure he wasn't out by a mile.

Raburn deserves most of the credit? Uhh, Avila is the one who took the punishment-he deserves the most credit. If you want to start talking about throws, Jackson's relay was just as good as Raburns.

And, as I said-it is one of the best I have seen this year. Sorry, I don't see every single game, of every single day.
