that manager?
That team is in some real trouble, because that manager seems to be turning his back on some players on his team. How can you single out one guy who made a a base running error, and go as far to not say his name, especially since there were 5 errors in that game, 2 that cost you the game.
Its a big mistake to miss third base, a huge mistake, but its not unheard of. I mean you have a not so fast guy hustling his ass off to score the go ahead run. I can understand in this situation where you could miss the bag. Its literally a .1 second play. Is it excusable? Not at all.
But you know what else is not excusable? Your star center fielder dropping a ball to setup the other team to score the winning run. And don't you tell me its that other outfielders fault. That center fielder should be the guy the manager doesn't acknowledge. He is supposed to be a leader on the team, a guy people look up to.
This isn't the first time this season he has done something lazy or lackadaisical either. Remember when he forgot to slide into home plate? I would have benched him then. That is unacceptable, that is pure laziness and not caring. Missing third base is a mistake that hustling caused.
Listen that manger, be a professional and treat your players like professionals. Bench the players that are lazy, make them know hustle is required. Or you can ignore me and I see you in September as your season slips away, again, and again.

Press conferences after games are worthless. Everyone can see what happened in the game, if you need the manager to explain it to you then you don't deserve to know. The whole purpose is the media hoping someone says something news worthy. Jerry you did bad, Church you did bad, the rest of the team, you did bad. Where's Matt Holliday? Boom boom hype machine incoming.
