Also, maybe a product of him not being a 1st baseman but if Vazquez dives is he able to knock that ball down? He looked to be pretty close to it.
Ball was far away from Vazquez. So much for LAs bats heating up in LA.Also, maybe a product of him not being a 1st baseman but if Vazquez dives is he able to knock that ball down? He looked to be pretty close to it.
An absolutely horrific display of supposedly major league hitting. Every player on both teams looking to be a hero with a homerun for dozens of at bats. No trying to go the other way,no contact hitting,no teamwide decision to win a game together. Betts has been putrid,Martinez-mediocre,Benintendi is about as soft a hitter as you'll see,Bogearts just plain sucks at the plate right now,Moreland is a joke and Kinsler is toast as a MLB hitter and player. Pisspoor performance by everyone not a pitcher.

I fell asleep about half way through the game lol. Woke up on the couch around 345am to what i think was Joe buck screaming about a dodgers walk off. I’ll have to check now to get more info

the 3rd baseman is 60 feet off the line, lay down a bunt. All four infielders are to the 1st base side of the infield, just knock a dribbler to the other side. It obviously won't work every time, but occasionally doing it in May against Detroit, when it doesn't matter will let it be an option in the 16th inning in OctoberAnd this is even more obvious in extra innings.
Everyone wants to be the instant hero.
This is the one positive I take away from last night. The Sox had a lot of stuff go wrong and it still took LA 18 innings to win the game.
No homeruns in 30+ games,an unusual amount of seeing eye and bloop hits and using one of today's metrics,lower ball speed coming off the bat,yes it's tracked now.What the heck is a soft hitter?
And that's on Cora,somewhat. He should have held an impromptu team meeting after watching a dozen batters swing for the fences. All he has to say is,"Knock that shit off."And this is even more obvious in extra innings.

I fell asleep from roughly innings 11-14, so I missed the Kinsler debacle, but have seen plenty of replays since.
Woke up and watched 15-18. Wish I had just stayed sleeping.
Frustrating.
And this is even more obvious in extra innings.
