Then he better get ready to DH. Frank Thomas, who is a much better hitter than Abreu, was a DH.

RR is trolling everyone now with that bunt attempt by Engel.

One of the bunts was popped up and luckily landed before the 3rd baseman snagged it in the air. Lets not act like you cant fuck up a bunt.

Meanwhile over his last 7 games, Jurado has pitched like dick and has a near 8 ERA. Moncada and McCann are showing what you are supposed to do to pitching like this. Not bunt.

Do you think Don Cooper believes in openers?

Ricky and his decision making in the dugout.

Stats be damned. Ricky's gut told him to play for 1 run like its 1957.

And we picked up 3 of Cole's buddies off the scrap heap and they really like Chicago and think he is a shoe in to sign here.

Execute your pitches better. Have a better plan of attack. You don't need to knock people on their ass like its 1960 to effectively pitch.

The sox front office

Abreu dropped a throw to first. Then Yahtzee.

Really? He is a manager of an MLB team, this is part of the job description.

Hey Greg, example 500 on why Abreu is not a good defensive 1st baseman. That mitt thing that the fielder threw the ball to. You close that around the ball and if your foot is on the bag its an out.

Wait if RR is so anti stats why did he employ a shift. Should trust his gut and play straight up.

Well someone and his gut thinks there is no correlation. Now he doesn't have data per say. But who uses that.

Tall and fall and lots of cutters will fix this.

KW and Hahn were sure that the friends and family plan was landing machado. Meanwhile the twins picked up something better than both Jay and Alonzo.

Great pitch call and execution there. Nothing like a rolling breaking pitch over the heart of the plate. This playing baseball by the gut thing is amazing.

I am sure JR's secretary prints out his emails and reads them to him.

I don't know what the fascination is with ex-players automatically becoming coaches based on their playing career. Robin Ventura was an absolute beast of a player. Slick glove, great approach at the plate. How exactly did that work out as a manager. Its a twist of your fandom for the player clouding your judgement. If any of these guys wants a job then work your way through the minors learning the craft.

Bill Walton is El Rockin

No HS or college or professional coach would agree with your interpretation of this. Mental errors are not knowing what to do. The facts of the game. The physical execution of a play is just that. Your technique a lot of times and your approach will determine the outcome of the play. This is true especially on routine plays. This is where you need to execute the technique you honed over thousands upon thousands of reps you have had to get you into this situation. Mental errors are typically those where you don't know what is going on. You execute the play however you make a bad decision. Such as trying to throw out a unforced runner at 3rd with two outs, while a throw to first ends the inning. A pitcher not covering first base on a ball hit to the right side. And yes, two outfielders colliding because one ignores priority.

You threw out a 70% stat. Where did you get this stat. If a player comes in on a ball and the ball eats him up at the last hop and it goes off his glove. You might not give him an error, but guess what the scorekeeper will.
