In His First Game Back Reporting On Field, Dallas Braden Had To Show Off His Speed And Appeared To Be In Mid-Season Form

Head on a swivel is the name of the game. When you're reporting down on field level you never know what could happen, who is going to be hunting someone with a water cooler, and who is trying to get your kicks dirty. I am throughly impressed by his backpedal here. And in those crisp shoes. Knowing Dallas he didn't stretch before the game so it wouldn't shock me if he's sore today. Elvis Andrus walked the A's off so he was the one who got the interview. Dallas had a perfect vantage point of the water cooler coming his way that would surely ruin his shoes and we can't have that happen. Dallas tosses up a softball question to Andrus and waits until the very last second and backpedals like a DB. He escapes the water, keeps the shoes clean, and doesn't have to drive home soaking wet. Have to be aware of your surroundings on the diamond and this exact situation shows you why.

PS. Been there before Dallas, head on a swivel kid.
