Sure, because two guys who shouldn't be on the corners versus just one...with LF honestly being an issue for the majority of teams.

And I agree with you on that. But would Vaughn be less likely to get hurt if the other corner outfielder was a great defender? Absolutely not. 

It’s using the butterfly effect to place blame in a misguided way. 

The only thing that sucks more than the injury is this thread.

It feels like other orgs have been able to play players in different positions without them exploding. Maybe our instruction is also horrible. 
 

Examples: Semien, Narvaez improvements post-Sox. Other examples: everyone being shit defensively once joining Sox

Our instruction very well might be horrible, but in this specific case, I think it’s just bad luck. Vaughn played a solid LF all year last year without getting hurt. There are no teams teaching guys how to properly dive without injuring their hips. 

Fingers crossed this is a very minor injury.

I mean he’s still fighting for playing time in his mind since TLR is the manager.

Sorry, I was traveling and didn't see it. He lands on it but no obvious indication as to what the injury is.

Hip pointer or labral injury perhaps. But that's total guess work based on the two most likely due to the impact.

I mentioned hip pointer in the game thread. Now you made me feel smarter.

Hopefully we are right.  That's a minor issue.

Jerry Reinsdorf must be possessed by a demon that likes to injure his players.

Based on my 15 years of watching Supernatural I think demons would have to possess the individual players.

That we haven't hear a report that everything is okay and they're just being cautious is clearly a bad sign. 

It must be a real injury, worthy of some real time, but hopefully not too long.

So, do we need to salt and burn??

 

The overreacting here is very funny.  

He probably has like a hip pointer or something like that.  I'll assume that is all it is until the team states differently

No that's for ghosts. For demons they have to be exorcised or killed with the Demon Blade or an Angel could smite them.

Or follow whatever they did in 2012 to go from near last to Top 3 defensively in Ventura's first year.

Because typical Sox defensive and lacking fundamentals play took over for a decade after that.

I think people just like blaming the front office at every opportunity. If Kimbrel would have gotten in a car accident on the way to the fields today, people would blame it on Hahn for picking up his option.

Or Kenny Williams.  Or TLR.  Or JR out to sheer stubbornness to prove all the naysayers (they supposedly don't listen to) wrong.

I get it but come on lol.  Vaughn stood up and shook his hips, what did Madrigal and Robert do when they got injured, they laid on the ground in agony.

It's actually the opposite.  The fair weather fans are the ones who overreact

Everything about my experience with Soxtalk tells me the opposite ?
