If you let the reliever pitch a second inning and he is not available the next night, there should be a pitcher who is getting the night off who is available the following night for 1 or 2 innings.
I really don't remember people criticizing Pablo's attitude last year, never mind almost everyone criticizing his attitude last year. That is pretty much in Kimmi's head. He was criticized for sucking. for being overweight and possibly lazy and stupid, but people didn't criticize his attitude.
So, a player can rise to the occasion, but he just can't ensure a positive outcome. I think this is what has been said by those who believe in the notion of clutch. Congratulations, you are a believer.
He probably would have had a longer career if he had to deal with only a cracked nail on his pitching hand. And then Proce whines about how people don't care about him except as a pitcher blah blah blah. Well what else would we care about. We don't know him personally and he is a pitcher. The criticism of him has been mild, but then he acts like a jackass in interviews and blows up in psychotic rants at reporters. Now he whines about a cracked fingernail on his non-pitching hand. This $210 million man is a real delicate flower. Message to Price: GROW UP AND ACT LIKE A MAN. Your actions are making people hate you. Seriously, shut up and pitch and earn your contract.
i laugh when announcers talk about pitchers who are "gutting it out" because they are playing with an injury to their non-pitching hand. There was a pitcher that had only one-hand.
This is the Red Sox. Playing that game should not be a concern. If he is ready, he should be called up to play and help the team win the Division. Imo, he should be called up ASAP so we know if he can handle the bigs in advance of the trading deadline.
Not really and then you say it is on Farrell. Who do you think that i hold responsible for the stupidity on the bases? Farrell -- that is who is responsible.
