I've seen enough defensive goofs from Schoop

[25 Nuggets]

Ok. Who though? Flarhety? With schoop at 2nd or Lombo? I still want his bat in the lineup.

Flaherty's going to have to play SS with JJ having a pulled hammy. I guess Lombo plays 3B? Idunno, looks bad either way.

As long as we are piling on he has no walks in 50 PA before tonight.

All told I agree that he needs further seasoning.

Well, I read somewhere Adam Jones was giving him batting lessons. Probably why he doesn't have any walks!

Part of the problem is Buck hasn't decided on any of them to play anywhere. We basically have 3 utility infielders playing wherever every game.

The piling on on Schoop is a bit ridiculous...he's learning a new position in the majors. That being said, I can't for the life of me figure out why he didn't cut that ball off tonight.

You guys are going nuts over the 3B position. I understand that's where the errors are occurring, but the left side of the infield always has the most errors. No matter how great the defender is. Outfielders in particular can be horrible without committing errors.

The LF spot is more of a problem defensively than 3B is right now and actually it's a way bigger problem. Because Young and Cruz move like grandpas out there. Pop flies literally just fall in.

Schoop is fine. He's a 2nd baseman not a 3rd. It's on Buck he keeps putting Schoop at 3rd. It's just another game the backups cost us. Get Well Manny and Hardy.

I'm beginning to wonder if our hitting instructors are incapable of teaching players how to draw walks.

I kid, I kid. Davis is walking. Cruz is walking. Wieters is... kind of walking.

Wow that was unreal. I just looked at the replay again. It's like he was flinching to get out of the way. What the hell was he thinking? It was like he was surprised that Lough threw the ball. Looks like Wieters was thinking the same thing at the end.

Yep, awful. I still can't believe it.

Ehh, Schoop's reaction wasn't good but that was a ridiculously bad throw by Lough there.

This team left like 5 runs on the field. Everyone is to blame .

Why would he cut it off? Lough was throwing as if he was making a play on someone. Even if it's off line you let it go through -- cutting off a play at the plate means a loss if the runner is tagging.

Schoop playing 3rd shouldn't be an option anymore.

Done. End of thread. If Schoop is seen at third base again we start a new thread called slamming Buck. I think we can all agree on that point.
