I think longer term the organization is going to
voice-verified
want him to find a lane because he has a higher ceiling than a lot of those guys who get thrown in that swingman role where they're sort of decent in various capacities but they're not truly excellent at either.
voice-verified
Like no one who's an excellent starter is a swingman.
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
Because if they're an excellent starter, they're just gonna be a starter.
voice-verified
And I believe based on what we've seen from Miles that he could be excellent
voice-verified
Kind of in either role really and we'll see how that goes over the course of the offseason.
voice-verified
It was a peculiar one.
voice-verified
I I gotta give a little bit of credit to Encarnacion's strength because that it was fairly heads up.
voice-verified
Normally there isn't a play there.
voice-verified
So in that situation where it's an infield hit and it's a slow rolling ball and you come to the realization that you're not gonna have a throw at first base, in many cases the fielder just sort of picks up the ball and the play effectively ends.
voice-verified
Right.
voice-verified
And so the fact that he thought
voice-verified
to take a peek at third and see what the situation was there, you know, that led to an out.
voice-verified
And I again I would give credit there, although you know Jimenez clearly got a little bit reckless or sloppy or too aggressive, however you want to put it, by getting that far from the bag.
voice-verified
you know, getting picked off is never really an excusable play.
voice-verified
You could argue there's something to it, like they say that if you've never missed a flight in your life, you're going to the airport a little bit too early.
voice-verified
Like at a certain point you are gonna wanna give yourself leads that put you in a position to take extra bases and steal bases.
voice-verified
Vladdy is actually pretty good at taking extra bases, going first to third and things like that, even though he doesn't steal bases.
voice-verified
Again, you know, for this to happen with him multiple times, it's not something you ever want to see and it's not really acceptable at the end of the day.
