I really want to believe eyesight has been an issue. I had kept wondering if that was the case when somone brought it up months ago but thought no way in hell if his eyesight was bad do the Sox not tell him to wear glasses or contacts or goggles or w/e works. Common sense would tell you that at the highest level of sports your eyesight is likely your best friend. Despite being a hitting genius Ted Williams had better than 20/20 vision. Thats what really made him able to do what he did. Was he wearing glasses yesterday ?

He may have been contacts and someone convinced him to try the glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moncada was wearing glasses yesterday but I haven’t found anything online to suggest whether it was related to a temporary eye issue or just general poor eyesight. I do know he considered wearing glasses full time earlier this year but decided not to after a recommendation by Tim. Also, agree 100% with the rest of your post. I can’t even imagine trying to hit Major League stuff without 20/20 vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Anderson, who has ditched his glasses from last season, discouraged him from using them in games. Both are adamant they can see just fine without glasses. #Glasses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah just like last season. September was a very good month for the team, which led many to believe (myself included) they might surprise and vie for a wildcard spot. Sox are actually above .500 in August...8-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Hopefully Covey didn’t walk back to the dugout too fast or too slow after that strikeout. He wouldn’t want to upset Salvy. Edited August 18, 2018 by soxfan49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
