Robert is in between on defense just like hitters get.
He's hesitating because he has been told not to go all out like he was in 2020.
Plus he's getting terrible reads all of a sudden.
It's like you can actually see him thinking out there instead of reacting instinctively.
Linea.
If they can take the first two...pressure really shifts towards Minnesota.
The Pollock throw, Vaughn ball off bag, Buxton stranded...those things don't usually go Sox way an entire series.
The big thing is Robert just doesn't have that extra gear to run down those balls...whether it's physical or psychological it's hard to say.
Probably a combination of both.
It seems he just lost track of the ball and then looked up and was suddenly at the wall and too late to make a play...he was drifting a bit instead of running at full speed again.
Robert and Moncada just not running like they used to.
