Rockies manager Walt Weiss said it has been a joy to watch rookie third baseman Nolan Arenado and veteran shortstop Troy Tulowitzki man the left side of the infield, according to The Denver Post.
"The rule of thumb is that if the third baseman goes to his left, and can get the ball, he should go get it," Weiss said. "Really, that's a luxury for a shortstop, because that play Tulo makes going to his right -- and he makes that play as well as anybody I have ever seen -- is tough for a shortstop. So anytime a third baseman can make that play, it helps the team."
Tulowitzki has no problem with Arenado stealing some plays since it helps his positioning on the field.
"Sometimes Nolan will say, 'Oh, my bad.' But I've told him to get every ball that he possibly can, and don't worry about it," Tulowitzki said. "If he takes more balls in the hole, I can cheat up the middle a little bit more."
