This game turned on Goodwinnot making the play on Gordon’s triple and Moncada being thrown out at the plate with no outs. We have no margin of error with the team we are putting on the field now.
Goodwin took a bad route to the ball.Hamilton and/or Engel could have made the play. Goodwin is a defensive liability particular in parks with big center field areas.
I guess Mc Cann was too expensive, but it was a pleasure watching him defensively. Collins is just awful. Also none of our catchers can throw anybody out. Catching is our weakest defensive position.
Sure did. TLR is obsessive on hitting righty’s against lefty’s no matter what. Sheets is on a roll and have to go with him regardless when we need a long ball as well.
SoX have the highest ground ball rate in the majors. Need to try more hit and runs. Hit and runs also have the advantage of opening more holes in the infield for our ground balls to get through.
That tells a lot about the rest of the starting lineup today which has a heavy Charlotte tilt. Combined with TLR obsession of prioritizing lefty’s vs righty’s.
This is probably the best game of the year for the Sox outside of the no hitters. Bats came alive with lots of energy on the field. Winning big is lots of fun. Don’t stop now boys.
