Yasmani Grandal says he was on his heels Friday night, which led to his errors:
“At times, I don’t feel it, but I think I got on my heels,” Grandal said. “And when you get on your heels, you can’t do anything. You can’t move. The first ball I went down for, I thought it was in my glove. Then all of a sudden it was behind. I was trying to figure out why. Then the second one happened and I was like, ‘I really need to figure out why these balls are getting by, because I feel like they should be right in front of me.’
“I came inside, and that was pretty much it. Setup-wise I was just on my heels. I never really got to my toes. In this game, that’s huge, because it allows you to move. And when you can’t move, then you can do anything.”
I would think that is something that becomes second nature to athletes, part of being able to balance. It also strikes me as something that happens when one is tired, so I wonder if he was a bit jet lagged? The Dodgers certainly had enough days off to rest.
