Folks might think the number of missed DP's and just flat out errors are alarming for Aviles over just half a season but this is what happens when you put a utility infielder in the most important defensive position on the field every day.

 

I did not post anything at the time but once again he almost ran over 25% of the position players on the field in that one pop fly to short left field. Once again one of them, this time WMB realized that Aviles was coming with reckless abandon and knew that it was going to be a disaster of a collision if it happened.

Buch throwing a terrific game.....still think he will turn out to be the best of 1,2 3 in the rotation and desperate to see him make it through the rest of the season at this point.

Ciriaco makes the play. He should be playing SS and Aviles should be at 2B.

 

It's ok. Ciriaco will be at SS when Pedey comes back.

 

This!

I am not sure why Ciriaco is not at SS tonight either unless Aviles is so terrible at 2nd but I doubt it. Ciriaco has already proved to me that he is a better SS than Aviles. I would say based on what I have seen Ciraico is something like half way from an a Aviles to an Iggy.

I wonder why managers don't see these kind of things, to me this move should have been done.

Well there is that possibility that Aviles is positively terrible at 2nd. He has no range at all going to his right and for all we know the angle you have to take to the ball going left at 2nd may even negate the one direction where he does have some range. In part when WMB was hurt I was hoping we would see some of Aviles at 3rd. By rights you would think he could play a little 3rd and that maybe 3rd is actually the best of his infield positions.

What we observe as fans is a lot different from what the day to day coaches etc see and know. IMO. :)

I can see Fenway Security taking the thing away from the guy or maybe even sawing it in half in front of the guy.:D:D

 

"If you don't let us take it away we will have to remove you from the Park"

 

"But I thought removal from the park was for things like interfering with the ball in play or throwing something on the field....something really really stupid"

 

"And your point is?"

Sending Shop from 3rd was the last chance the Sox had to turn this into the type of game they have a better chance to win. They might still win this game but this is not the kind of game that you would expect them to win.
