Wheres Byron Buxton ?

[Squirrel]

Well this is obviously a conversation for the crazy times we are living in but I actually thought of the Wrigley wall when I made that post. That is why the outfielder has to deliver a very aggressive blow to the wall an attempt to go about 10 feet past the wall. Byron should probably have fences and walls installed in his yard made of all kinds of different materials. The real point is if the answer to "Where is Byron Buxton?" is at home with his wife and kids, he still needs to maximize that time.

If you are on Instagram at all, you can see a lot of the players’ activities, workouts and otherwise. Bux seems to have a pretty big yard where he has been doing some batting practice. Granted, not against live pitching, but ... still fun to see even if in only very small snippets.

Could you imagine if we were on the road against the Chicago Cubs?  Chris Bryant or Anthony Rizzo hits a deep fly heading for the wall.  Buxton gives chase...….

 

Do you think he would know well enough not to smash into the wall?  I am not so they wouldn't need to take him out there and show him the wall is made of brick and could kill humans who run into it at blazing speeds.  Would Rocco know to tell him?  I wonder

What you do is you tell Kepler and Rosario "Hey, if you see Byron going full speed towards that fence, you tackle him. That tackle will be better than him hitting the fence."
