The offense continues to roll along and the bullpen turned in another stellar performance to secure the victory and a two-game sweep. Baseball is fun again!
I'm not ready to label Singer's lack of control over his emotions as THE problem, but not being able to field is position sure is. What is his fielding %? Does he have one? He seems to get very discombobulated when fielding and throwing. He's got at least 3 throwing errors this season in a very limited number of chances.
What I saw yesterday (and what I've seen in the past) is a fielder who is just rushing to make the play. He didn't set his feet on the throw in the third and in the sixth just turned and fired too quickly. In both cases, he had more time. But the errors can snowball into something more damaging.
Absolutely. His fielding problems and his lack of emotional control may very well be related, but having the yips throwing to a base is a distinct and sometimes difficult thing to fix.

In his short career, if you hit it to Singer, there is a 25% chance that he will make an error. That's little league stuff.
