Amazed people think that was a "tough" play.

Sheets was running to the spot the entire time while looking back at the ball. He took a rounded route. He was still under the ball and it hit him right in the glove. 

A normal outfielder not only runs to the spot and is sitting under the ball, but it wouldn't even be considered a tough play. That was a 1* catch if he makes it.

Gavin with the gold glove defense.

Bad outfield defense by Sheets opened the floodgates and cost us 2 runs.  Both Burger and Sheets are big defensive liabilities. Thanks to Hahn for not bringing in a good LH right fielder last year or before this season.

I'm just tired of basically having 4-5 DH's on this team.

Twins and Guardians basically have opposite philosophies of finding guys who can play multiple spots well like Gordon Urshela Arraez...Lewis was going to be another.

Neither one is a good fielder. If we gave two shits about the outfield defense it'd be Haseley out there

Disagree Vaughn is pretty good and might be the 2nd or 3rd best on the team (still not good but at least better than everyone else)

Just lose for the next two weeks and blow this shit up. So many of these guys have lost their elite skills it’s ridiculous.

I couldn't even be mad at Sheets' fuck up. It's a comedy at this point.

There's a reason those teams win the division + make the playoffs far more regularly than the Sox do

Sheets thought he had it and was looking into his glove and took him a few seconds to realize he had dropped the ball.

Exactly. There was nothing tough about that play other than it was Sheets trying to catch it. He is a lumbering klutz just like Eloy.
