Yeah, it was great that he went to the WBC, but I do think it disrupted his spring training a little bit.
I say all that to say, we just need to have a little bit of patience here.
And I know that's very hard.
And I know that he does things that make you want to rip your hair out.
The only way for him to get through that stuff is to play and become better for it.
And last night, the play with him and Reynolds, man, that's not on Cruz.
That's the center fielder's ball.
Reynolds needs to get out of the way there.
I mean, if I look at opening day, like you got to have sunglasses on, man.
That's a lack of awareness.
It's plain and simple.
But last night, I mean, they're all different plays, Austin.
You know, the low-line drive, I could have lived with that if he would have caught the other one and he had sunglasses on his head.
It's the fact that that didn't happen.
I mean, that is a tough play to read.
And he's a relatively new center fielder.
I'm not making excuses for him.
