8/4 at Kansas City

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I have contended that Cora has played BP roulette now for a couple weeks and always goes down when 00 comes up after he has covered the other 36 numbers. Hernandez is a loser and always has been. Truly a given away game, but even then, the hitters got 3 runs in, 1 by Plawecki, the other 2 on a single swing by Devers. JDM and Hosmer showed the difficulty of having guys with WT power , instead of 3 manhole wallops.

 

They can still take 3 of 4 vs KC and win the next 50 in a row, in an alternate universe. In the one which we live in, this is a sub .500 team now.

 

Hosmer has a much better launch angle than JD, who has no angle at all.

Now Cora argues nonsenses. He was actually who s*** the bed when he left this clown on the mound in the first place.

 

Well I will say this much, the left field foul pole in KC has to have been designed by somebody that flunked geometry.

 

If you look at it from foul territory, there is a yellow line marking a foul ball that does not follow the line of the foul pole. It is actually in foul territory. That line then continues up one point of this triangular pad that is again in foul ground. I could not tell if the Perez HR hit off the triangular pad or off the foul pole itself. Does not change the fact that the triangular pad with its yellow line and the yellow line from the ground to the pad are both in foul ground.

 

They should get rid of the stupid pad. Cover that part of the fence with more fence and then if they want a line on the wall that extends up to the base of the foul pole, have the line extend straight down from the foul pole itself.

Or just paint it freaking yellow. Green is the color of the fence. Green is in play. How hard is this?

The no trade clause apparently gave him the courage to talk.

 

I don't think it helped his chances at getting a higher bid from the team he supposedly wants to keep playing for.

 

I'm going to say it again, I'm not seeing any positive influences, this year, from team "leaders" and vets like JD, Bogey, Nate and others.

 

I'm not saying they haven't tried, but I'm not getting why they keep getting praised by some. It seems like those who blame Cora for being in last place are not only failing to blame the "team leaders," they seem to want to continue praising them.

 

 

I’ll agree with my buddy Moon that at the moment the leaders on the team, Bogey, and JD are not leading, or performing well at all, but they got rid of Vaz who was also a leader, and was performing well. On the other hand Bloom, and Cora who start at the top of the leaderboard haven’t performed well this year either, so I’m all in, and let’s clean house of everyone. There was, and his plenty of blame to go around.

I'll keep saying it, championships in sports starts with the front office, problems have to be dealt with, not feelings or ego's
