Let's go for the sweep today! I didn't think we'd be in this spot at the start of the series, but the Jays have played well and Boston's played like a dumpster fire - their defence has been particularly bad. I hope Reese is doing alright. He can't be too popular in the clubhouse at the moment after his game-ending baserunning error in the middle of a Sox comeback last night
I think that's more on the third base coach there. He was calling it a homer as Reese was trotting towards third. By the time Reese turned around to look himself, he was already around third and it was too late.
Probably calling it off the wall more than a homer, but Reese still has to recognize the potential of it being caught and not just keep going to third and beyond.
Fair enough, I didn't see the 3rd base coach. I'm also not really clear on the boundaries between runners' responsibilities and the 3rd base coaches'
I think in general when running 2nd to home, it's the third base coach's responsibility. That being said, it was a long high fly ball, Reese probably should have only gone half way to third to make sure it wasn't caught with less than 2 outs.
Red Sox were just so sloppy yesterday, not just Devers.
Definitely, the ultimate responsibility is to go halfway. He was going to score from there if it's missed.
