Teammates can handle the Pop Up screw-ups by just saying, dang that was my ball and I should have had it. I thought more concerning was who failed to call the throw to home from Guerra?

This team has struggled on defense too much so far this season, it's not surprising to me that they are getting a little tense with each other.

Speak for yourself. I see it differently. That ball was a RF ball all the way and if I was Turley there is no way in hell, I'm Not confronting Bazz. I admit that I don’t completely understand your post, but I’m intrigued with why, if you were Turley, you wouldn’t confront Bazz, especially if you see it as a RF ball all the way. That’s not leadership; that’s bullying. My post was unclear. I should've said: there is no way there isn't a confrontation between the two players. Turley had the right to that ball and Bazz was way to close and doesn't have the best angle for the catch. No outfielder is ever going to interfere on a pop-up to infielder, but there is a grey zone between the IF & OF where s%#t happens, and communication better happen. This was one of those times. |

Turley doesn't want to get hurt like Kasper. When Kasper got hurt, Bazzana had no business being that deep for the pop up. Bazzana is amazing, and I am a fan, but he goes 110% all the time, even to the detriment of himself or his team. His base running is a perfect example. Sometimes you have to know when to let up a bit. Easier said than done with a guy like him. Like Eastwood said, "A man has to know his limitations" |

We have high spirited players on this team, there will be disagreements from time to time. Some of the most disciplined teams in the history of athletic competition have had their share of feud'n, fuss'n and fight'n.
The leadership on this team comes from the veteran players leading by example and mentoring the young players in doing things the right way. A team leader probably isn't necessary when you have a roster brimming with self assuredness and motivation. Not a team of followers, I'd say.

I agree, and anyone who isn't in the dugout speculating on lack of leadership is ignored by me. Leadership takes many forms. It's isn't always fire and brimstone, team meetings or airing dirty laundry. Sometimes it's by example and a quick talk on the bench in the dugout. I never was as good as these guys at baseball, but I'd rather a calm convo in the dugout vs a team meeting or a screaming fest. It's baseball, not football... Lol |

If you don't think Bazzana has a turbo button, you're a Spanish parliamentarian. |

A commonly accepted rule that coaches teach goes something like this.
"If a player is backing up on a ball (in this case infielder) and another player is moving forward on that ball (in this case outfielder), the player coming on has priority". If he can make a play on the ball, it is his responsibility to clearly communicate that it is his ball - he is responsible to call off the other player."
The player backing up should continue to play the ball until he is called off by his teammate.
That is usually taught in the youth leagues and when an error occurs it isn't because the players don't know the rule, it's because of poor, or a total lack of communication between the players.
Think Arkansas on communication. If one player had screamed "I got it" or "my ball" . . . .
