Looking at that 1 play only is just ridiculous. This was a team loss and its beyond clear they havent done much on D all spring


Game is literally over and we win if he catches the damn ball, so yeah, kind of an important play and the play of the game.

Where is this 'they don't take outfield' stuff coming from?

I mean sure but it was a 1 run game because of much more than mckenna. And its the bigger picture anyway. Just so narrowminded to be directing everyrhjng at McKenna but do you

McKenna will be fine for whats expected. He just made the last mistake. THis was a team loss. Period.




SPlitter isnt good right now. Devers swung at a non cometitve pitch and all the other splits he threw were non competitve too

Yes, the error was terrible.

It pretty much set up the final nail in the coffin that Duvall hammered shortly thereafter.

However, anytime you blow a six run lead other things contribute as well.

McKenna's not going anywhere, nor should he.

Good observation about Bautista's splitter. Non competitive defined that pitch today. He wasn't sharp at all IMO.

Same mostly on Thur. You see how guys can catch up to 100 when they know its coming. Gotta figure that out. Another concern to go with the overall D.

Frustrating.  No way you should lose that game.

 

Win tomorrow.

Well, one thing is for sure, it’s going to be a sleepless night for Mr. McKenna. Which is a shame for a kid known for his glove and the main reason he’s on this team.

But win tomorrow and get the series that’s all they can do.

Well, we're going to learn something about this team.

 

Just about every major league team has a couple of clunkers during a season. It's how you bounce back.

 

The outfield needs to tighten up their defense. I don't know where this 'they don't take outfield' is coming from but after these two games, everybody should be shagging balls in the outfield tomorrow whether the coaches schedule it or not.

The good thing about having 162 is sometimes you win some you have no business winning and vice versa all iterations. Just go back to winning the ones you’re supposed to.

Defense wasn't anywhere near my list of biggest concerns heading into the season, curious start to the year.

Not to mention the one he butchered in left early in the game. Kremer should have been out of the inning with a 7-3 lead. I'd say McKenna was a one man wrecking crew today. Left field defense has been scary bad the first two games.

McKenna also misplayed a ball earlier in the game. But yeah, you don't make a roster decision based on one fluke mistake. Last year we were known for bouncing back from bad losses, lets see how tomorrow goes.

The sooner they can win a game that they have no business winning whatsoever, the better I'll feel. Until then, this is one that sticks in my craw for a while.

If you showed me the defensive low-lights for the 2023 season, I would expect the EIGHT plays the OFers didn't make to be the low-light reel.

 

We've accumulated that in 2 games.

 

I expected OF defense to be one of the strengths of this team.  It's not like Fenway is new to any of these guys.  They've all played dozens of games there.

I'm willing to chalk at least some of it up to temperature and weird start times. Like I said, if it is true that they don't take outfield practice, they should start tomorrow.
