This isn’t an example of what you are saying but I do remember the Brewers blowing a bases loaded 0 out situation in like the 13th inning of a 2016 game but the Cubs ended up winning The Travis Wood escape. It did occur to me as that last inning was playing out
I was thinking the same. Anyone who's good defensively at SS should be even better at 2B, even more so if his only real defensive weakness is the arm. Russell should be at 2B if they're going to make us watch him at all.
I seem to recall Dexter may have dropped one for St. Louis, but that's ok And I think Soriano did once, too, for us. Soriano definitely did, which I think precipitated him getting rid of it.
I don't have a problem with what he said, or with bat flips/celebrations. He specifically said he wouldn't tell his guys not to do it, and that's enough for me.
No idea, but when I Googled his name along with Russell's to see what you were talking about, the top result was a Muskat article about Russell celebrating Mother's Day in '16 with Melisa that should probably just get pulled down.
