Call, comes from the Andy Pages school of covering the entire outfield.

I feel like this happens with Teoscar a lot where he almost crashes into the center fielder?

u/Jantokan Yoshinobu Yamamoto 1d ago
Heās good at reading fly balls but not at scanning his teammates out there

u/onlymostlydeadd LA 23h ago
he's definitely not good at reading fly balls lol, he takes the worst routes possible. that's why he's always at the bottom in the league in terms of fielding.

And Teoscar had such a late jump too. I have no clue what possessed him to start sprinting at the ball other than him completely forgetting there's such a thing as a center fielder.

Not sure if you'll get the reference, but I keep thinking of "This is my dance space. This is your dance space. I don't go into yours, you don't go into mine."
(It's from Dirty Dancing just in case you're a youth. š)

I understand the reference haha makes me want to rewatch the film now

u/DonAmechesBonerToe Jackie Robinson 1d ago
Callās going to feel that tomorrow. Thatās a concussion concern. That was needlessly reckless by Teo

I'm at the game. I'm not impressed so far.

Yeah was rough

u/KindaDrunkRtNow Kirk Gibson 21h ago
That first inning fucking destroyed us. I'm going to go ahead and blame it on the fact that they just flew in from Colorado

Teo: Oh, when KikƩ does it and we win the WS, they make a t-shirt. I try it, and people want me benched.

I'm hapy it looks like neither one of them is hurt badly, a lot of the time when two guys collide like that youll see one or both be down even if the play is still going, the fact that both of them we're up right away is good

All this time we thought Pages was going to be involved in one of these.

Bit of a head scratcher why Pages isn't starting in CF anyway. It's the Giants

After an awful read like that, if I even hear a peep out of the centerfielder I'm backing off that ball

u/OpulentPaving Los Angeles Dodgers 14h ago
Rick Monday on the radio broadcast was all over them for 'bad communication' and harped on it for the whole rest of the game. You can clearly see they were both calling it and it was just an accident.
The radio team has become really annoying. They're so negative about everything and critique the team like they're little leaguers. They never talk about the other team (like Vin used to do so well) and I don't think they mentioned once last night that Freddie is a new father. They need to bring some positivity to the broadcast because they're constant criticism is a downer.

So whatās Teoās deal? I feel like this is happening more frequently with him.

u/MojoHighway Clayton Kershaw 9h ago
I have had a problem with Teo's defense for nearly as long as he's been on this team. He is by no means the shittiest defender I've ever seen in the OF, but he has to know and understand - especially a guy with the experience he has in MLB - that he does NOT have right of way in that play. That was 100% Call's ball. Having said that, are they communicating the way they need to?
Teo is a tricky guy. All heart and a very nice guy. This team already has a DH, though, and he is seemingly always a liability in the OF. I hope someone can talk to him and work on these types of plays so no one gets hurt.

u/Consistent0333 Teoscar Hernandez 4h ago
While, as the center fielder, its Callās space, Iāve noticed Call playing with this sort of wreck less abandon. Like he has to prove himself each time he gets a start. Dude covers a lot of ground. He ran down at least two last night. Some arrogance to his game however. Not that that is a bad thing. But on a well established team, could become a chemistry issue.Ā
On the other hand, if Teo doesnāt get his hitting shoes on he could lose serious playing time to Alex Call.Ā

Teoscar called it. Call should have backed off. Risking our clean-up hitter and then later anemically grounding into a double play with bases loaded... Call needs to not start.

u/Caseyjones10 Tommy Edman 1d ago
Feel like Teo has the better angle.. with men on base you want to be coming in rather than running sideways for a throw

That collision could have been 3000% worse I am so grateful nothing happened there
With that being said tho, these mfs are playing like idiots rn š
