As grisly as he's looked at 2nd base, I'm gonna give him a pass on that, with it being 30-some degrees tonight. Gotta be hard to get a good handle on the ball on a quick exchange like that. Is that a tougher play based on the cold? I'm not sure since I don't have much cold baseball experience, but the throw from Arcia wasn't that hard Yes. It is a tougher play in the cold. Your body doesn’t move well in it and it’s harder to get a grip on the baseball. Very slick when cold.
