stealing bases up by a bunch, I get. Swinging at pitches I don't. -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 10:45 1
- I gotta admit that I don't get this. Bayern was up 4-1 to at half, 6-2 at one point and Bayern's response was to put in the player that Barcelona - JD Aug 18, 10:57
He's not gonna miss his shot. And he *SHOULDN'T* miss his shot. The criticism is b.s. -- nm - Mopsy Aug 18, 10:30 2
- Especially from his manager. Looking forward to the public daily recap on each player that missed a sign. -- nm - zunkskunk+ Aug 18, 10:35 1
  - Alternate reality manager: Man, I didn't expect that 9th inning comeback. Tatis should have swung on 3-0. -- nm - Mopsy Aug 18, 10:50
Zero in on pitch, if you get it. Why not hit it 3-0 -- nm* - the ice Aug 18, 10:24 9
- I think we're seeing a cultural shift in the game. For decades there were unwritten rules that nearly every player followed. You learn the rules - Krusty Aug 18, 10:52 4
  - And even then - 10-0 ... kind of shitty. 2-0, you're the tying run, get on however you can! - Reagen Aug 18, 11:07
  - If they're unwritten, they ain't rules. They're hardly even guidelines. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 10:54 2
    - It's how the players police the game themselves, sort of. The players over the years have decided there are things you should or shouldn't do - Krusty Aug 18, 17:30
    - Show me in the rules where I can't bang on a garbage can! -- nm - Mopsy Aug 18, 10:55
- cause baseball players are prima donnas who get the feewings hurt, I guess -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 10:29 3
  - Or perhaps some vague notion of sportsmanship. If you're up 64-0 in the fifth inning, sure, take the K. If you're still in single-digits, the notion… - Beryllium Aug 18, 10:53 2
    - Correct. That's the issue here. People that are upset with him thought the game was well in hand so he shouldn't be looking to swing away - Krusty Aug 18, 10:56 1
      - Agreed. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 10:58
