Medical opinions are opinions too. We have pretty extensive data on trying to push Buxton and Lewis and the results that come with it.
If they were pushing them and they got injured and missed the stretch run you'd be yelling at that.
Can't win.
It will be interesting to see if that first year manager burns everyone out with his Chief-like zeal.
Orioles are a good example too. High game totals for everyone that has been fortunately healthy. All young kids with no injury issues helps. Then again, they did it last year and then had nothing for the playoffs.
4th best farm system in the league....but whatever. The FO sucks too. I hate being in the top 5 in basically everything. Did you see the White Sox won yesterday! Sweet!

I had to look it up, I was thinking the same thing. There is a different rule or exception for backswing interference, if judged to be unintentional, is a stoppage, strike called and all runners return. No outs given.
You are both proving my point. You are confirming that the only thing we know is that we can't see what would be your preferred "accountability". That is not the absence of accountability.
It wasn't a hustle mistake, it was a mental mistake. The same mental mistake Castro made several weeks ago when he forgot how many outs in center and a run scored. If you have the wrong number of outs programed, you operate on the wrong base running rules. Even slightly possible the first base coach was wrong, we will never know.
It's the same mistake Festa made when he lost track of the count. These all need cleaned up and can easily be fixed but it's also the dog days of August.
He will be fine.
Third base.
For which Keaschall is not an option, nor any other utility spots. Not this year, that's quite optimistic.
More likely Helman as the emergency utility? Real depth is fun.
