Ron Washington acting as if he had to reteach Semien how to play defense wasn't a great look for the Sox player development & coaching staff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm...pretty sure she doesn't make those decisions. Did you buy that stock too high? Isn't it Alibaba or Soft Bank with controlling interest now?

Paulie4Pres Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Andrew Vaughn is so slow, and gets such terrible jumps on the ball. I think I could have made that play in RF... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollock having to cover the gaps, flanked by Eloy in LF and AV in RF, feels like a disaster waiting to happen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, most 6 year old little league teams have a superior coaching staff, player fundamentals and baserunning, and employ better analytics.

That said, Pollock doesn't have the sprint speed to run down balls like a Buxton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still going to be a ~3.5 WAR player this year. Him getting back to MVP levels probably wasn't going to happen without the juiced ball anyways.
