I had the same feeling about the team, but as I posted after the 19 inning game -- that game changed my mind. That game took persistence and desire to hang in there and win. So, I think the desire is there, but there isn't a lot of joy on that team without the big guy no matter how many dances the outfielders choreograph.
-
Why are we still trying to get something out of Chris Young with Raji Davis buried on the bench. I almost forgot that he was on the team.
-
But weedhopper, you are still growing up.
-
Is it a lack of fire or a lack of joy on this team. I think that most of the players have a lot of desire, but I really don't think they have a lot of joy. Losing Ortiz was not just losing a big bat, but losing it's soul in many ways. He was the heartbeat of the clubhouse. Maybe that is what we are seeing.

Countdown to the Playoffs - 2017 Edition

What is your point with all this blather? ^. That idiocy on the bases doesn't matter? Then why is good situational base running coached from little league on up? Honestly, your whole post is nonsense. Prove to me once that you are not a jackass. You have 365 days a year. Pick one. Piece of cake. -

My biggest criticism was that Butter just stood there like a mute. The replay showed Bradley confused and looking for help. The ballpark was pretty empty and quiet. Butter should have been yelling and waving to him. He did not do a good job. No one was crucifying Jackie. Some people interpret every criticism as a condemnation of the player's entire game.
-
Has the storm passed you yet?
-
if he wants a 7-10 contract, they should say goodbye to Mookie. That is too much money for a guy whose game is heavily dependent on speed. He'll be finished as a top exchelon player by 30-31 imo.
-
I wish him the best. And I would recommend that he find a good investment manager, because he is never getting another MLB contract. He should say a prayer of thanks every night for his agent who got him a ridiculously overpriced deal.
-
Apparently the effect of mental errors on losing games can't be proved. I disagree with that entirely. The effect of a bad mental error can be proved to be the cause of losing a game as much as any other type of play can be causally tied to the outcome of the game.
-
Physical failures are understandable. The players are human and the game is really difficult. I rarely criticize a player for a physical mistake or error, but I am not very forgiving of mental errors. The players should know better and the coaches should be reinforcing smart play and good fundamentals.
-
Sense of proportion Max. No one is beating your brains out. Get a grip on that bitter bald angry head of yours. LOL!!
-
Max, you are missing the point the way Bogey misses the slider -- by a mile. Read the posts of some of the other posters who are not missing the point. I am not condemning Bradley as a "bonehead". I am making a comment about the season long terrible base running decisions by the entire team, and I am for the upteenth time laying it at the feet of the coaching staff. Bradley is not a bonehead. That would be Benintendi.
-
It was also tonight's poll question of the game on the NESN broadcast. I voted "No".
-
Seriously, why does he think that every critique of a play has to be taken in context with the guy's full game, week, month or career or whatever context Max thinks is relevant.
-
He's a great player,but not beyond criticism. By the time that ball had been picked up and thrown home and the catcher leisurely looked for home plate to step on, any one who was awake could have walked to 3rd base. He was still heading back toward 2nd and looking confused that Nunez was standing there. It was a major brain fart.
-
There was no confusion on my part. I knew that the bases were loaded and there was one out. I understood the force play at home, but I couldn't grasp that Bradley hadn't run to 3rd in all that time. They cut to commercial quickly and didn't show the replay until they came back from commercial.
-
The sat out a lot of their players after last night's 19 inning game.
-
We have already decided to accept a suspension of Farrell for the remainder of the season.
-
I can see all the runners reacting slowly, and there is no fault in Leon getting forced at 3rd, but there is no excuse for Bradley heading back to 2nd base after the ball was dropped. And Butterworth just standing there.
-
So stupidity on the bases is fine as long as you win the game? Problem with that is that it will and has cropped up to cost us games. The coaches need to do their jobs. Does Butterball have vocal chords?
-
What does rain have to do with stupidity on the bases?
-
Butterfield was doing nothing. he should have been yelling to Bradley to come to 3rd. As usual, he stood there with his hands t his sides looking confused.... but his workout charts for next spring training are already done and he will be the first one at the field in Ft. Myers.
-
There was one out on that play. Wasn't there? The LF dropped the ball but got a force play at the plate. How is the inning over?
