There was a play that stood out for me very early in last night’s wild game between the Pirates and Red Sox.
With one out in the first inning, Justin Turner hit a fly ball to deep center field. Jack Suwinski ranged over from left field, and it looked like he started to call off Reynolds. What stood out to me was that Reynolds deferred to Suwinski momentarily, rather than taking charge of the play.
That ball was the center fielder’s ball all the way. If Suwinski is calling off Reynolds, it’s Reynolds’ job to take charge and call off Suwinski.
