They really didn't hit the ball all that well
Most of the good defensive plays were on little bloopers—Dellucci caught one that Murphy hit to the wall, and Cabrera made a nice stab to his right. Other than that, it was great plays on badly hit balls.
And I repeat my advice from Sunday about pitching to Thomas—pound the strike zone with fastballs until he proves he can crush them. No reason to nibble with him on reputation. Maybe it’s a slump, or maybe it’s the final downturn of a HOF career, but pitchers ought to put the burden on FT to prove it’s the former, not the latter.
If Hurt stops drawing walks and still isn’t hitting the ball hard, then it’s the end of the line for him.

Does he consistently look "late" on the fastball? I think his timing is definitely off
but I thought he was all over the place- out in front, late, doing the Crosby dive at outside fastballs, etc.

He looks late to me, fouling a lot of pitches off or back
So much of his value right now is in his walks. If I were a pitcher I’d take that away and see if he could hit the ball.
