Bob is grilling him . I like Soriano but the guy is cocky

Bob's a dick.

 

He's all about that old school nonsense.

 

I'd have taken some of that old school nonsense just there.

 

Sometimes he's right.

 

Yeah, Brenly is right if that's what he said. Soriano deserves to get ripped.

[PrimeTime]

That has to be the loudest kid possibly ever

i don't think he was out of line. bob admitted it didn't matter today. but if something could easily be a double when it's a single, i don't think it's out of line to call him out on it. soriano did something stupid. i still love the guy, but come on, that's an easy double.

[TysonCBulls423]

It's an 8-2 ball game who the hell cares.

yes nonsense like actually running when you hit the ball.

It's a double header and he's getting a double or a HR. Big friggen deal.

 

You really think what Soriano did is okay?

[David]

I'm not saying Soriano shouldn't be criticized when he does dumb stuff, but Bob sure likes to overstate the dumb stuff. Fans will pick up and run with those comments.

 

On the other hand, you won't hear him laying into Theriot for all the dumb stuff he does sometimes.

I wouldn't call him a dick, but he does lay into Cubs players a little too much at times.

 

Especially players that have such a huge impact on how well we play...

 

Oh please. He lays into guys who do stupid/lazy things.

i think you're overthinking it. soriano did something stupid, brenly and len talked about it for about 1 minute, and now no one will remember it tomorrow.

 

if he'd done that in a close game, then probably something would be made of it.

He did rip into him when he threw off of his back and almost cost us the game vs SF(?)

It's a double header and he's getting a double or a HR. Big friggen deal.

No, it's not ok. But context is everything. Bob loves to make a point on the hustle stuff.

[The Voice of Reason]

Chipper wishing he was into some Hooters wings and thighs right about now instead of being at the game.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I noticed Edmonds was pulled for Johnson. SOmeone tell me it was just righty/lefty thing and nothing more. Thanks in advance.

i don't even think it was a hustle thing. soriano could have easily half-assed his way to second by jogging. hell, aramis does it all the time. but flat out walking and admiring the ball you just hit isn't the same as jogging to second on an easy double.

[ConstableRabbit]

Would you be upset if Lou decided to rest Jim's legs for game 2 with a 6 run lead?

it was probably that, and no need to keep old injury prone edmonds in the game during a blowout.

He's pointed out some stupid Theriot stuff.

 

cubinny, you aren't making any sense.

 

Soriano didn't think he hit a HR and end up with a double. He thought he hit a HR and ended up with a double. It's not a little thing. Soriano has multiple times watched doubles and ended up having to slide into what should have been a stand-up double. This was different, he didn't even get to 2nd. It is a big deal, and it is absolutely ridiculous that people are downplaying and acting like Bob is in the wrong for complaining.

And to get Jimmy some rest for tonight probably.

I'm listening on radio so I didnt' see it. Otto and Pat didn't really make a big deal out it.

Absolutely not. I just wanted to hear that there no injury involed. This is Edmonds were talking about.

[Little Slide Rooter]

What did Soriano do this time?

He's a former manager and, as a manager, that's one of the few things you truly have control over. Players are going to make physical and mental mistakes, but there is no reason they shouldn't be able to give a respectable effort.

[ConstableRabbit]

Ok, so I didn't get "Good ole' country hard ball" but Dave did just let out a "Oooh boy, get ur red hots".

 

Lol a part of me really loves it

[jersey cubs fan]

Peachtree pointed out that Soriano apologized to Lou after the inning and Lou nodded acceptance of the apology.

 

It is not a big deal in the sense that it should be a story that lasts the rest of the year. But it was a big enough mistake that Brenly was more than right in criticizing Soriano. It was really bad.

how is it a big deal?

[BCVM22]

SOTOBOMB!

 

That was crushed.
