Right, I looked at the replay just now and he didn't even have a late break to the ball. For him, it was pretty dead sprint at 100%. The approaching wall sure didn't help. However, he and Vaughn are very slow to get camped under the ball, as you said.
-
I still didn't see anything routine about this. Sprint to the ball, wall approaches, drops ball, hits the wall.

At some point you have to out-slugg your mistakes. This team was suppose to do that coming out of Spring Training. The crappy OF defense (which should be of no surprise to anyone - not sure why all of a sudden it's become a hot topic here) is highly magnified because we can't hit for shit. Someone posted on twitter that the Sox have like 1 HR in their last 250 or So ABs. Even with the injuries, this is completely unacceptable.
-
Best outcome out of this one today is that Lucas did indeed make himself a little bit more tradeable.
-
What makes you think that clown is a real OF himself? That's the same asshat that took out Medick for not calling off a flyball loud enough. In an empty stadium.
-
GTFOH with this Monday Morning QB bullshit. Sheets takes a shit on another ball in the 7 or 8th inning you'd be the first one bitching up a storm on why wasn't he pulled.
-
None of this would be a problem if all those 1B/DHs would slugg their way out of their bad defense as was suppose to be the plan. Eloy and Vaughn/Sheets were suppose to suck at the corners but would each slugg +.500 to make a difference. The slugging part hasn't happened.
-
I read these game threads and I feel like the Confused Travolta Gif. So do we are do we not want Sheets in the OF? He was the punching bag after the mis-play in RF. Then the right thing was done to pull him with the lead and put somewhat of a better OF out there. But then it's a problem when his turn to bat came back around?
-
Keep wanting to get a lot more from him. The way he finished 2021, I honestly thought he'd take off playing MVP ball going forward. Let's hope this is not another Yoan post 2019.
-
TA running the way he is is a breathe of fresh air. Maybe there is hope with the injuries.
-
Any play that involves an approaching fixed object, like a wall, on a full sprint is not considered "routine" by any stretch.
-
let's also not lose sight to the fact that Lucas absolutely still sucks at pitching right now.
-
There was zero routine about that flybal. Gavin sucks out there, but even for good OFs that's not a routine play.
-
I tend to stay away form thinking firing coaches and managers ever resolves anything. But how can Rick Hahn sit at home watching the same games we do and at the very least not have canned Frank Menechino by now? It's the same crap every night with this offense. I understand the old corpse manager is off limits, but make yourself look like you are busy and in charge and get rid of the batting coach by now.

If the team has to sell, who would you be willing to part with…

You name one guy taking a jump from Low to A to excuse this farm system ? ? Yes, there have been nice stories recently, none more glaring as Lenyn Sosa. But there have been so many misses down there that have cost this team the much needed insulation needed when you get decimated by injuries. At one point the Sox future OF prospect list had : Robert Eloy Rutherford Adolfo Basabe Gonzalez Walker End result is the reason why DH/1Bs like Vaughn and Sheets are playing the OF today.
