Mental mistake by Bo again. Why rush your throw? That was going to be a tough play to make anyways.

#1. He played that horribly. Laid back on the ball instead of approaching it.
#2. He then promptly made the worst throw of all time.

Yeah, any decent SS makes that play (including him most of the time).

I think it was. It was a slow roller that would have been a close play with a good throw.

Can we pull Garcia? Isn't it obvious he doesn't have his good stuff today?

That would be why he rushed his throw.

And it’s NOT an error.

A dribbler up the middle. He had time to get behind the ball and square it up to field it. (I agree with you he should’ve been more aggressive and cut it off quicker to his side). Either way he didn’t even have to dive. Plus , if the ball was accurate it beat the runner. Was not a hard play.

He rushed the throw because he played the groundball horribly to the point where he had to rush the throw to make that out. You can't lay back on that ball with Segura up.

He's made similar plays easily many, many times. Why he didn't aggressively approach that ball, I'm not sure.

Yeah. Either way, he rushed it because by the time he got to it he needed to make a good throw just to get the out.

Heading towards the worst loss of the year. Romano looks way off again too.

Now I'm not saying Romano shouldn't be the closer but where the hell is Anthony Bass?

I wouldn’t really consider this the worst loss of the year. In all likelihood, we’re destined for a WC spot. Obviously, there’s a big difference in which one you end up with, but still.
