Series, Ethan Ball (who I think is a budding star), left early on a fly ball, attempting to run to third. When he was called out (for leaving early) his reaction was that of disbelief…like he didn’t seem to understand that leaving the base before the fielder catches the ball is a no no. Today there were several examples of this….FUNDAMENTALS not being applied; missing the cut off man (2x), inability to get down a bunt….i could go on. Viewed in isolation, it wouldn’t be a concern. When applied collectively, one is left with the WTF moment again, and again. Cooke seems like a talented kid who gets complacent from time to time, but today’s mental error reeked of simultaneous ‘lack of effort, and nonchalant attitude’, which appears pervasive to me. I can’t think how this eventuality doesn’t come down to basic coaching skills, and setting the ‘tone’? Either way, something is missing.
