Yup. Awful decision to send Anderson, 3B coach just hoping he would catch a bad throw by the LF, which he didn't, but the catcher screwed up. Anderson out by at least 8 feet. White Sox with 2 big errors earlier in the game as well.
Don't forget yet another example of Upton not playing hard - he loafed a fly ball letting the runner advance or none of this discussion would even be happening.
This guy has so much talent but doesn't even try. His teammates must be ready to kill him.

Not getting to second on a ball hit to the wall is simply not trying. He doesnt have to be a genius to know to run as hard as you can when making contact, but he will learn and he has exceptional skillsYou people can't be serious. First of all, nobody is more important to that team than Upton. How can you say he doesn't try. Either you don't watch a lot of Rays games or you don't like him for some other reason. I'm getting so sick of all the Upton bashing. He plays hard and he's a stud who will only get better. Don't mistake being a great athlete and making things look easy for not trying. Any team in baseball would kill to have him.
Secondly, that ball was deep. There's no fuckng way he throws him out. There is nobody to blame for that call other than that fuck-tasting ump who, by the way, was also behind the plate for Pierzynski's "dropped third strike" play in the playoffs a few years back. Fuck him. Fuck AJ for acting like a bitch on the basepaths too while we're at it. Fucking douche.
