I immediately looked at my partner to see if he had anything, but he was looking at R2's touch of 3rd (don't digress into discussing that aspect). There were some hard looks, but no words, and I moved to my position in short right field.

I can't help it. I have to digress since you threw your partner under the bus. His only job on this play was.......well, what you said....watching R2 touch third.

Where were you? If the ground ball was to third, you should've had a great angle at first base by the time the ball arrived there.
