Reyes is not most RF. Read the ball and know the outfielder . Analyze, assess, that's what good base runners do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Guardians play a DH in RF and we end up gifting them an out cause we don't know how to run the bases. Arguably even two runs...the way it played out.

You can blame Robert for underestimating how bad Reyes is in RF, I guess? I think this is a situation of KYP: know your personnel. Robert did the right thing fundamentally, but you gotta know there's a DH playing the outfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does what he did he can't score if it isn't. It's Leury's job to adjust to whichever decision Luis makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Leury is paying attention to Luis, Robert can stop at 3rd, and the Sox are still in business. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis is kind of in no man's land there and with 0 outs he decided to tag up which isn't the wrong decision there. Leury was the one that forced everything and ran the team into an out.

Right I did edit the post to say Leury had some blame before I saw your post. However if McEwing holds him do we know for sure that Leury wouldnt have got back to 2nd base if the throw ends up in the cutoff guys hands. Does McEwing send Robert because he see's Leury on Roberts tail or does he send Robert because he thinks with Roberts speed and a ball off the wall should score Robert from 2nd base ?

What Leury did was the equivalent of a point guard dribbling all the way down court without looking up and running into a charge in the lane.

chw42 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Let's all appreciate how TLR putting Leury 3rd most likely cost us our biggest scoring opportunity in the game. TLR even applauded Leury's base running too, which was the biggest reason for why we didn't score a few more runs. The jokes really write themselves at this point. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Harrison qualified for the AL Triple Jump lead yesterday so there's that...and Vaughn figured out one creative way to get him out the lineup. Unfortunately, that inevitably means more Leury instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
