Players with speed like Duran and Hamilton should be proficient in sliding feet first. The coaching could be at fault for not stressing the positives of sliding feet first when stealing a base.
This same holds true that weak batters should at least be proficient in laying down a bunt, whether to move a runner or going for a base hit.Again, this could also be partly the fault of coaching.
Just tuned in to see Wink throw the ball away with a two strike count allowing the winning run to score.
This teams fielding is unbelievably bad
4-1 now
Game over
Outta here
Self-destruct. Walks and errors are just as effective as base hits. Cora looked really pissed heading towards the mound. It'll be awhile before 2018 strikes again. I mean a long while.
Sox defense collapses yet again. Winck gets the K, then walks a man to load up the bases, then throws a wild pitch, followed by still another botched played by Hamilton who to me is just worthless.
It was ruled a passed ball, so Wink didn't 'throw the ball away.'
Not a wild pitch.
Box score says WP. Also says all 4 runs are earned.
It appears the official scorer is using Little League standards to determine hits and errors.
Who cares? The real point is that the Sox are losing because they can't hit, can't pitch, can't play defense, and can't run the bases. That was, you may recall, exactly the case last night and nothing's changed.
It took 118 seasons to get to a season as good as 2018. You might want to adjust your frame of reference.
The Red Sox have scored 10 runs in their last 7 games including this one.
The offence stinks
