Travis has good speed at third. EE main job was getting ball into outfield and he surpassed that. He put a good solid swing and with his strength - that is a homer.
The only mistake on the night was bad baserunning in fifth and they should have tried to score the go ahead run on Zeke's hit. I think Rivera has been too cautious.
Pompeys speed, if he was put on first, would have forced infielder to hold runner at third with a look then still try to throw out EE without runner coming in or try for risky double play
EE hit homer because he was trying to hit a homer which means he was not shortening his swing and playing for a lazy fly to right is my understanding, they are two different swings
If you are going to shorten swing for the sac fly I do not think you can change your mind in the milli second you have to see that it is a pitch in your wheel house then go for the long swing
I could be wrong as I have never played at that level, just a thought
We won game because Showalter made a historic flub in trying to get Britton into a save situation
