Injuries are part of sports. Over the course of a 162-game series, every team is going to deal with injuries. But the Atlanta Braves are truly having a nightmarish injury situation this season, and we saw just how it can impact a team defensively on Wednesday.
During the opening game of the Braves’ doubleheader against the Reds, Spencer Steer hit an opposite-field fly ball to right that was out of a diving Adam Duvall’s range. Steer — who runs well — was likely going to have an easy triple, but Braves backup infielder Zack Short made the situation worse by *attempting* a relay throw to third.
And when I say “attempting,” I’m putting it kindly. His throw looked like this:
I’m not sure what exactly happened on that throw, but the ball slipped out of Short’s hand and went sideways towards shallow center field. Mind you, Short was playing second this game because both Ozzie Albies and newly signed Whit Merrifield are hurt.
After that botched relay, Steer got up and continued to home for a Little League home run (scored a triple and an error).
Fans certainly had plenty of thoughts on that relay.
