What the fuck kind of alignment is that against a lefty? Bobby was halfway to freaking second base. How does that ball go to the right of a first baseman there?

No clue why with a lefty hitter our 1b is right near our 2b. Regular position and that's an out all day

Don’t understand the positioning there at all. Almost certainly overlapping with the 2B zone and hell it would been tough for him to get over to cover 1b for even a routine grounder.

Can I just say that it is deeply weird how bad Dalbec has been? There’s a gap between AAA and MLB, but it shouldn’t be .700 points of OPS.

I still can’t understand that positioning.

It has to be some smartest guy in the room bullshit or just a fuck up.

I was hoping Bobby would have to face this guy. That woulda been so ugly he might've K'ed on two pitches.

I think Dalbec's vision has been deteriorating for the last three years. Sometimes 28-year-old eyeballs are substantially worse than 24-year-old eyeballs, which helps explain why he keeps showing up with different eyewear: spectacles, goggles, contacts... Sometimes there isn't a technological solution to mortality, and you need to find another line of work.

Greg Maddux was the best fielding pitcher I ever saw. He finished square-facing home plate with an oversized glove. He didn't miss much.

I disagree with this, AAAA players have always existed.

Jackson Holiday just found out the difference.

Well, this is uncomfortable at the moment.

Kind of like watching Bobby D swing and miss.
