Webb turned his head and appeared to say something directed towards the middle infield. What exactly did Webb say to Crawford?
“I said, ‘athlete,’ “ Webb told reporters with a smile after the game. “He’s always making fun of pitchers, and me, so I just had to let him know that, ‘hey, I’m an athlete.’ ”
Crawford didn't hide his own athleticism Wednesday, making a handful of highlight-reel plays against the Rockies. He made a diving stop on a ground ball up the middle, and later sprinted nearly from left field to make a sliding catch in the infield grass.
