definitely the first shortstop to have a first baseman catch low throws from him.

You can count them by game with Anderson.  I also mentioned another dumb move he made over the weekend when he tried to steal 3B in a situation in which no one should ever be attempting to steal 3B — on 2B with no outs and losing by multiple runs.

was yoan there or not? live it looked like he was 10 feet off 3rd

This is very likely to happen and wouldn't be the end of the world. The Sox need to continue to stock the farm and another top ten pick next year will help. 

Should greg just ignore these type of comments that make my blood boil? Probably would be smart.

This game was unsatisfying.

OK yeah they should have gone to 3rd...

I’m not going to question his IQ.  I will question everything about his defense.  He’s regressed defensively and the “he lacks experience” theory is no longer an excuse.

This is why I didn't like the bat throwing. Concentrate on learning to be a major league player, then you have the leeway for theatrics.

His developing offensive talents are definitely outweighing everything else in his game but he isn’t the best on defense or baseball smarts.  Not the worst case scenario but let’s be honest.  I’ll take the good offense and weak baseball IQ over the opposite scenario.

4th game this year the Sox have blown and lost when they had a lead in the 7th inning or later. Herrera has been involved in two of those four.

Going to be a very long week friends.

Just dumb baseball and dumb managing tonight.

Runner was safe anyway... watched it 3 times.   Anderson's only shot was to throw it to 3rd.

I hope somebody asks Anderson if he was thinking about the play before it happened. Like, did it cross his mind to throw to third if the ball is hit to his right? It also didn't look like Moncada was thinking about a force play either. Not good baseball. It was a pretty entertaining game though.

The Sox are 4 games under .500 and have been hovering in place for weeks.  What are you expecting from them?  You are making your own blood boil if you are expecting anything else.  Do you need the Dennis Green treatment?

No I think Fry is pointing to the hot girl in the front row 

Tim probably didn‘t see Fry, he ranged deep to his right and threw it in one motion in a desperate attempt.

Maybe he wants to spread his love and affliction, I mean affection.

Anderson made two very heads up plays that put the game in that situation in the first place so I don’t think we need to be questioning his IQ

which ones?

Covering third to pickoff devers, and playing left field when Eloy got caught under the monster to hold Chavis on second

And when the game was on the line...........................................................................oh well.

Don't remember the 2nd one.

The Devers one... the play was right in front of his face. Not sure I agree that it was a "high iq play"

I think he’s talking about running out to backup Eloy on the ball off the wall. 

Anyway, anybody who plays shortstop needs to think before that play that if they field it in the hole, they are going to third. It should just be instinctive. Very poor play by Tim. 

Or that Abreu is hardly Keith Hernandez or even Konerko over there with scooping up a low throw...
