Oh well, I guess he really isn't perfect after all.
Salvy should text him and tell him he would never have put Hosmer in that position in the first place.  |
Hosmer problem was he wasn't expecting to put himself in that position. About a stride or two past the bag he starts to decelerate and brings his eyes down. I think he thought someone would have it but the catcher literally never even tries to move from home lol. Hosmer panics and hits max jets and by the time he located the ball again, yeah he'd gone too far.
I wonder why the catcher didn't call that immediately. Hosmers basically playing the outfield not 1b.
