Duran lost track of where he was. He just doesn't have the instincts of an outfielder.

On the other hand, hell of a throw from Verdugo.
I don't think he did. That was a tough play. He hit his head on the non padded area. It was a high jump. That's why he didn't catch it. That was hard impact. Anyone comparing him (Or anybody) to JBJ isn't fair either.

Yeah It looks like when he hit his head he lost the ball and couldn't hold it. It would've been an amazing play.

He absolutely did. He jumped as if he was a half step from the wall when he was at the wall. Good outfielders know where they are in relation to the wall even when they don't look back. He either miscalculated or he guessed (wrong).

Not saying he should have caught it but clearly he hit the wall before he expected to.

In your opinion. Not in mine. That was a solid play. He had that catch if not for impact. If that padding went up higher that's a catch.

And here comes Sale out of the game with ??????

Not watching what was it?
No idea, Cora and the trainer came out to the mound without much build-up. Cora's expression was of great concern. Suddenly the whole bullpen started warming up. Sale threw a couple pitches, they came out again and pulled him.

Well there goes my hope of trading Sale at the deadline.
Wow. I started thinking about that after the first two innings. If he pitched like Chris Sale for the first half, he could really bring some talent back from a contending team.
Assuming the Sox will be out of it at the deadline. Hopefully he's ok.

Wow a shocking turn of events that a guy who is literally always injured has once again got hurt.

It's almost like he can no longer play professional baseball and counting on him to be healthy was completely absurd and worthy of firing.

He has the flu last start I think? This would be a long ass recovery though to be related
