Some mistakes occasionally but you get that from any young player.

Don’t know if you saw the game that Harper tried to ‘run’ through the scoreboard.
After looking at many replays, I think he was disoriented as he seemed to ‘pause’ prior the collision.
At the time, I thought he had been ‘lasered’ but he never seemed to publicly indicate it and I am sure that his eyes were tested also...
Don’t know if he wears contacts or not but I do know that after my cataract surgery I seemed to lose a little in peripheral vision but a LOT in depth perception.
BTW, FWIW, I did sort of misread your first response to me...I didn’t put the ‘fruitily prancing down the baseline’ in the right concept???.
I can just imagine Don Drysdale or Vic Raschi or Sal Maglie’s reaction the next time a batter came up that has been skipping and sashaying down the first base line....
Puts a whole new concept to ‘Stick it in his ear’.... and in Maglies case, giving a ‘close shave’....
I did see that game. Complete puckerage was occurring on my part until he got up. I think it was just that electronic ad bar covered in the chain link, couldn’t tell how close he was. It definitely wasn’t a hustle error, some sort of perception mistake. I mean wasn’t he looking right at it? It’s lucky that big melon of his didn’t destroy it in a shower of electrical sparks.
Yes, the NFL needs some sort of thing to allow for the Drysdale effect, or Gibson. Would make it a lot more watchable, at least for me. The warnings given in MLB now do really put the kibosh on pitching inside. A shame, but pitching is becoming dominant now again, a combo of good and plentiful relief pitching and better PED testing maybe.
