Not sure if you have an EPL equivalent but MLB has this thing called "MLB.tv" it's pretty affordable and you should check it out. You can watch every game, every replay, etc for about $120 a year.
It looked like he might have missed (or thought he missed) 1st base. He sorta pimped out of the box but whatever he got the job done with a well struck ball.
you're the one that thinks he apparently should...be better? He has a 155 wRC+ entering the game. Christ. He's not going to turn into Avi Garcia with a 80% Ozone swing rate.
Why would he swing at a pitch that probably wasn't a strike and if it was had nasty break? Sure an elite hitter probably fouls that off with two strikes but give the kid a break.
We can argue about this one play all game. My point overall is he needs to improve. Massively. Like I said, I think he's a good young player but if he's not a MLB quality SS -- and the tide is starting to go out on that early this year -- he's going to have a hard time being a solid starter. And that would be a big setback. I'm officially worried. Hopefully he plays great the rest of the way defensively.
I'm done giving him the benefit of the doubt he has over 2300 innings at the MLB level at SS. It's time to start making the plays that are there to be made. That's two games in the last three he's made a bad error in a huge spot. A solid MLB SS makes the plays 98/100.
And Tim's history shows that those aren't his two times just unluckily sequenced.
I love the guy but he's got a long ass way to go defensively.
another stupid backhand attempt. it's like dude, you're fast, you're quick. get. in. front. of. the. ball. And again, it's not like he had a really fast runner to gun down.
