What must the motivation be like to come to the ballpark for the last 2 weeks of the season trying to win just enough to not be the worst team of all time?

What's your motivation to work for over 30s years for a tiny fraction of what they make ?

Never play Sosa again please.

Or try to close a game with Anderson.

He did have 3 hits. Needed to come in a step and short hop that ball. He got caught in between .A top 3rd baseman makes that play but you have to recognize it practically off the bat before the ball is on  you. Hot corner read and react. Reps. On the replay it didn't look like he had his eyes on the ball either .Head was up.like he was trying to look at the runner on third going home.Pretty sure the infield wasnt in so the play is to turn 2 by throwing to 2nd not home. Lots of mistakes from either taking eyes of the ball, not taking a step in instantly and letting the ball play him or not thinking ahead and knowing his positioning dictates an attempt to turn a DP by going to 2nd if fielded cleanly. It's good he can play all inield positions but he needs a lot of reps . His bat may be coming around. Its not like the Sox have much better choices even if they add Ramos ,Baldwin and Montgomery to the infield mix next year.

He did go 1st to 3rd a few times also if I want to evaluate his game today fairly. He's thekind of guy you keep or trade like you can trade any of the mid twenty's OFs like Fletcher,Deloach, Colas. Fletcher is a no power corner, Deloach similar, Colas with the most upside but he's like the Sox poster boy for what's wrong with the Sox Intl. Spending scouting and development. You wonder if anyone is scouting some of these guys work ethic, coachability, and drive along with the tools.

If I were to collect all of these posts from you I think I would have a 5 page thread

I'm a people person.

That’s an all time stupid send by the third base coach even with Benintendi throwing.  Going to have bases loaded and nobody out with game tied with a slow rubber?  Why on earth is he not being held.

It was Deloach throwing but your point remains.

For most people it is to work just hard enough to not get fired.

That also shows you how god awful Benintendi’s arm is 

Good trick from the bench. Deloach made the throw home.

Sorry, thought it was obvious.  We’ve seen so many plays from left to home the last two years where he didn’t even have enough arm strength to reach the catcher on the fly.
