Willson Contreras offered up two of the clear highlights from today’s game, a mammoth 453-foot homer, and a quintessential rocket pick-off at second base.
What made the pick-off particular fun is that it was none other than Big Rowdy Boy Dan Vogelbach, with whom Contreras came up in the minors:
If you were thinking that Vogelbach had no business straying that far off second base, you are not alone. Contreras was thinking it, too, given the players’ history together, and he told Vogelbach as much. Sounds like Willy found it a little funnier than Vogelbach did. All in good fun:
"You should know better."
