Marlins infielder Ronny Simon bolts off field after three-error game — and never returns
NY Post
As Ronny Simon walked to be with his teammates at the mound, he grabbed his jersey to wipe away the tears from his eyes.
Disaster unfolded Tuesday in just his 19th career game, with the 25-year-old utility player committing three errors and being spared a fourth in the first four innings of an 8-6 loss to the Padres.
Simon’s mistakes played a large role in why San Diego (31-22) rallied from a six-run, first-inning deficit, and the magnitude of it all seemingly resulted in him being pulled after just four innings.
“It happens, it’s baseball,” Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. said after the game. “Everyone that has won a Platinum or Gold Glove has had one of those nights. I definitely know he’s a great player, he has won MVP from Winter League over there in the Dominican and I’ve seen him play really good baseball. I have no doubt he’s going to be a really good baseball player.”
Young teams like the Marlins are going to go through growing pains, and Simon had one of those nights that almost every big leaguer will have to endure and then forget.
The ball, it seemed, just kept finding Simon, and the errors kept piling up.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
