I think greg maddux might take exception to your comments. Jones's baserunning is simply incomprehensible and inexcusable. It says "I don't care." THREE TIMES ITS HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How far am I from you? Probably closer than to Raisin, huh? We'll have to get together for a game like we've been planning. Should be a lot more doable once we get moved back out here.
the more you make him run, the sooner he will be gone? I'd walk him just to make him run the bases. I think McGwire is an even better comparison than Sosa.
Dusty, like Bonds, I think is one of Joe Morgan's favorites, meaning he won't say a single disparaging word about him. Well, he wasn't that kind to him - that was the telling thing.
I don't understand the question. I don't think very many analysts will call for dusty's head on national tv. that's why I think there is significance to reading between the lines. imo, Hendry doesn't want to fire him but he is going to get forced into it.
typically says can't blame dusty - he at least acknowledged dusty has been less than stellar in the past - which to me is the real justification to can him.
A player? Not at all. Every player? Yes. Can you cite any examples. I'd really like to know if there is hope. sammy sosa. to me cedeno seems able to identify strikes most of the time so I'm not as worried. plate discipline isn't about taking walks, its about identifying pitches to hit.
Maybe its because walkers slump brought him from grotesquely high numbers to near his career norms? Can you really not see the difference between a player who was red hot and is now slumping and player that has never been productive in their career?
