Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day if there are X amount of complaints about the 1B not bailing out his teammates throw after throw all season, it’s a thrower problem first.Difference between Devers and Casas is that Devers has played 800 games at third and he's not getting better. Casas has played less than a season in the majors and so there's hope that he can work on things in the off season and potentially get better. He might never, but he is a rookie.
Yes, this.Alvarez had owned Bello in his first two at bats so I understand it.
Could be, or the person at MLB HQ handling review is deep into the bottle of tequila at this point.Makes you wonder if the player's reaction had something to do with the review result.
exactly.Put the glove in front of the plate, forget the man.
That pitch was thumped.Schreiber had turned into a pumpkin at the wrong time.
Yep. Needed at least 2 of 3.and another loss to the Astros. Season over.
The entire team has been alternating from really good to pumpkin all season. No consistency. Except with the bad fielding and bad base running. Those are consistent.Schreiber had turned into a pumpkin at the wrong time.
It's fitting, because this was the test for the playoffs. We split last week there, and would have to win 2 out of 3 at home to win a seven game series. If we're not up to that, what's the point of making the playoffs?Yep. Needed at least 2 of 3.
He couldn't lunge cause he was planted on his left knee instead of in any other position that would allow quick movement toward the runner.I still can’t believe I just saw that by McGuire. First off, don’t wait for the runner, lunge at him to tag him 2 feet in front of the plate. Second, if you are going to sit by the plate, then tag the body part that’s attempting to touch the plate. What the actual hell.
It’s the fair thing to do.Will the Sox put Duvall on waivers so he can sign on with a contender?
It's terrible that he moved with barely less urgency in the slow motion replay than he did in real time.New rules really didn't come into play here. Reaching for the player or plate doesn't need to involve blocking the plate. McGuire didn't have that glove down and had plenty of time to do so.
