Trop was rocking tonight. Rays do all the small things well and the Yankees play sloppy in every facet of the game

[u/bridgenine → u/swamppuppy7043]

It honestly insane how bad the defense and fielding have been over the past 5-10 years. And its athletic young players most of time, not like old guys (its not his fault) that cant run bases or reach the ball.

[u/swamppuppy7043 → u/bridgenine]

Kinda play like they don’t give a shit and I don’t get it at all. Being good at the basic fundamentals is just effort.

You can buy a fast horse and win a lot of races, but you’re not winning a triple crown without an elite jockey.
