Springer needs to know he has to bust his ass when the ball dropped so shallow and hes still on 3B. This is 100% on Springer... just own it and we move on.
Disagree... it was both tagging up with the ball 15 feet away from 2B and not hustling after you see the ball land. The hardest play was for the runner going to 2B and somehow only Springer thought tagging up mattered in that situation.
We should have been talking about exactly that instead of Springer screwing up. The fact he was tagging Springer instead of just touching homeplate.
Ah well... let's gets at it again.
How did you watch that play and think it wasn't Springer's fault for a horrible read. Once the CF was 15 feet away from 2B, tagging up means NOTHING. Then he slows down and doesnt even slide...
Worst part of that was theyre trusting Vlad to be a great enough baserunner to make the right read. Putting an idiot in a position to fail tbh.
Now I wouldn't say worst call of the season though lol
2015 will always hold a special place in my heart but this is number 2 after that at the moment (post '93 of course). Thats subject to change based on how we finish the season out. Just wild how things unfolded so far.
