That last play is kind of Colby Rasmus in a nut shell. Makes a very nice, athletic diving catch. But it falls out of his glove at the end before he can fully secure it.
Has talent, but just doesn't get the job done.

How does that not count as a catch? I think if you have the ball in your glove and slide headfirst for longer than the distance of your standard Slip-n-Slide, it should count as an out. But that's just me.

I agree but that's karma for yesterday's bad call by the second base ump.
