1. Walt Davis Posted: October 31, 2021 at 04:47 PM (#6050382)Using statcast sprint speed (which is actually baserunning) as an indicator, O'Neill was the fastest starting LF, Arozarena also high, that's why I chose them. So sure, at an extra 2-3 feet per second, they're at the wall like a quarter-second before Alvarez and have a shot. I'll also assume that, given his size, Alvarez doesn't have the biggest vertical jump. So if by "should have" we mean the best LFs might have had a 50/50 shot at it -- OK. Whether Alvarez should have still been in the game is a legit question ... but given Dusty can't be bothered to PH for Maldonado (which worked out fine last night), I'm not sure we can expect early defensive replacements.
alvarez is barely competent as a LF. if all you can say about his fielding is that he is better than mike lamb was, this is not a compliment. Siri, mccormick or meyer had a good chance. brantley can't run that fast and i don't think he would have had a 50-50 chance to get that ball
