Interesting play
In the Boston/Tampa game tonight, in the bottom of the 7th with Boston leading 1-0 and a runner on third and 1 out, Matt Joyce hits a clearly foul fly ball to deep RF. Drew makes the catch and the runner on third scores easily.
Drew could have not caught the fly ball. Should he have? The count was 3-2 on the batter and Dan Johnson was on deck. Buchholz was still on the mound for Boston.
Of course all teams should know the answer to that question and should be relaying it to the outfielders. My guess is that virtually no teams do that.
