Take a look at the video of Andino's game-winning hit. Jennings would have made that catch. Not an easy play but certainly catchable with the right jump and desire. Maybe Carl just wanted to go home.
Most of the former Red Sox LF's would have made that catch. Crawford is brutal choker. He was a huge choke from opening day until yesterday. He is a little game and little team player. Worst free agent signing since Edgar Rentaria. Dice K is a better signing. I'd like to think a season does not a careeer make. In this case, I see no redeeming qualities. Fenway's left field is tiny. There is no room for Crawford's speed out there. He obviously underestimated his ability to play up to his ability in a big market. He actually has a contract clause preventing his trade to the Yankees from the Red Sox, and in all subsequent trades for the life of the contract, if that says anything.
I wish he was the only choke on the team, but he was just the worst and most consistant choke.
