Molina is concerned

Catcher Yadier Molina threw out two of the three batters who attempted to steal second on him Monday, but moments after his ninth-inning nab helped win the game he called himself "out of whack." Opposing baserunners are 31 for 47 against Molina this season, a significant drop for a catcher considered the best in the league at throwing runners out. Last season, Molina caught 27 of 50 who attempted.
"Not as many guys run on me, but I feel (off)," Molina said. "That's why I'm doing my stuff every day to work on it. I feel strong, just out of whack."
Molina cited his first throw to second Monday when the ball sailed into center field. He said his throws have had a tendency to carry too far. Asked if he thinks he's rushing the throw, Molina nodded.
