[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 401581, member: 2843"] If it matters or makes you feel better, 2 of the errors were throwing errors on difficult plays: 1) 3rd inning. McCann trying to make the throw moving to his right back to pitcher (Shirah, I think) who's on move to cover first. This could've/would've been a great defensive play by both McCann & Shirah for a 3rd out after Shirah had loaded bases on "freebies" 2) Rookie mistake by Waddell in 9th. Bases loaded again on freebies... 1 out. Bad decision by Waddell to try inning ending DP by stepping in 3rd & firing to 1st. Gets out at 3rd... but throws it away to 1st. Ball wasn't hit hard enough to make that play. The (better) play was there to throw home for the force.. & live to hopefully get next guy out. Kid played SS in HS. Yesterday, he made 2 stellar plays on pop flys behind him... maybe the difference in getting W v Minn. This will likely be the roller coaster with Freshman at the hot corner. Get accustomed to it, I reckon. Not throwing strikes results in too many walks... that's bad & obvious. It also gets your defense flat footed & likely less than focused. Just throw strikes. Please! It's way too early to say this is a "repeat" of 2017. Today's game looked like a carbon copy of much of last season. Friday (v Minnesota) looked much more promising. We have 53 more games to see what we're made of. [/QUOTE]
