Might be teams with two game winning/losing streaks if this plays out according to typical Sox/Twins form the last two decades. What? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxBlanco Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 1 minute ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: Diving just isn't faster. It's wasted motion and deceleration I think you can do it correctly where diving would be faster. Problem is, most people can’t do it. Think about an outfielder diving to make a catch, where the glove is right above the ground. You think if they just ran without diving, their feet would get to that spot quicker? If so, then wouldn’t everyone just run without diving and catch the ball in the air when their feet get to that spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 At least the bullpen kept it close enough to make them use their set up man and closer. Let's give em a finish boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no, because If they ran through the ball they wouldn't be able to get their glove in position. You dive to get your glove as extended as possible to reach the baseball. If you ran through you would be split second faster but no chance to reach the baseball 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernstein was making a point yesterday about how the Sox really need to make sure they’re not getting out homered at GRF when it gets hot out. Sounds simple enough but they’re not really set up to hit a ton of bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late bullpen arms are usually too good to string a bunch of hits on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest, it was ridiculous they even won last night with 5 of their main guys out. This was a terribly constructed lineup once again tonight and continuing to wait for the great Adam Engel to fix everything seems foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
