Dozier does not know how to position a first baseman's mitt to catch a ball in the dirt. The reason the glove is different than other gloves is to maximize the vertical catching area on a ball in the dirt.

He has the glove sideways and tries to catch the ball in the dirt on the rise with a moving glove as if he has Bo Jackson hand eye coordination. If you position the glove right you have about 20 square inches of glove for the ball to hit for a half second. Watching the replay, he had 5 square inches available for a millisecond.

I wish we could trade Dozier and O'Hearn to the Rangers or Pirates for a pack of Now & Laters and some Jolly Ranchers. Whatever flavors they got left is fine.
