Looking quick at a stadium diagram, I’d guess it’s a HR there. Because I think the HR went out maybe where it would be 360’ or so to the wall.

I just thought you were tossing out random stadiums.

Ha! Well given Red Sox were the opponent, there is somewhat of a connection

Nah, that’s a still shot that ignores context. He was coming from the direction of right field to cover first, so naturally his momentum was taking him toward home plate. The throw was woefully to his right, in the opposite direction that he was moving. It’s like the pass that’s behind the wide receiver on a crossing route. He looks bad when he reaches back and gets a hand on it, tipping it up for an interception. But the terrible throw made it happen.

I mean, watch the actual replay and not a still shot. The throw was awful for a major league second baseman.

In the pregame the pundits were not that happy with either guy. With probably a bias towards:
— Story rushing it (acting with urgency as if he was still SS)
— Dalbec with bad baseball intelligence

I still don't get what you guys wanted Dalbec to do differently. He was playing deep because it was a left-handed hitter and they were in no doubles. He had to sprint to get to the base and the ball went behind him.

I’m trying to find a video of it to post here, but just re-watched it for the first time

My read (as all the above was just parroting what I hear from talking heads): it look like he had plenty of time to set up at 1B (it was a lazy jog level of effort to get to 1B), but set up on the wrong side of the base and not prepared for a throw coming from Story’s direction

BTW is the audio and video out of sync on NESN for you, too? It’s weird… the front channel is in sync, and the surround channel is like 500 ms early

That was strike out… oh wait the umpire gives him a 4-strike at bat and it’s hit for a double

After the first five batters of the game I didn't see this being the final score.

The offense and defense is being called a paper tiger by the league

How sad is it that I feel more confident in our pitching than our batting at this point???
