I used to enjoy Goodberry on twitter, but following him is starting to remind me of C. Trent Rosecrans' coverage of the Reds. Figured it would happen once Goodberry went to The Athletic, and as I feared, the condescension/smugness is now oozing from his twitter account just like C. Trent. He now resorting to blocking followers who dare disagree with his subjective analysis.
What Goodberry can't/won't comprehend here is that even if it was a bad throw (I agree that it was), Ross cannot simply quit on the play. He has to at least try to turn into a defender and break up the interception (like Tyler Boyd did last week against Baltimore). And while we're at it, I would also question Ross' effort on the deep ball earlier in the game. Looked catchable to me if he lays out for it.
