It's not outrageous for a young guy to be pulled not hustling. Can remember Bobby doing it with Andruw for sure.
Bobby would have benched him, no questions asked. The manager in the other dugout has done that before as well. That’s inexcusable.
Much more understandable for fried than Ron. It looked like there was a decent chance the ball would be caught.
Hopefully Acuña learned something from that inning. That's the only positive I can think of from that shitshow.
Two balls off the top of the wall and don't score. That's about as bad as it gets. This pitcher sucks ass, and we're just bailing him out.
Ronnie's bullshit aside, this game is 3-2 if we just hit two grounders up the middle or slightly deep flyballs.
How cool it looks pimping a HR just never outweighs the 1-2 times you’re going to look dumb. If it ain’t 450ft, just freaking run.
Yea it’s fine for the kids to have fun but that’s not the kids having fun, that’s the kids being lazy and placing showboating over everything else.
We go through these terrible streaks of just being god awful at the fundamentals. Thankfully, they are shorter than they used to be, but blah
What really kills me is that Ron hustles out every ground ball, and routinely stretches singles to doubles. I just hate the idea of standing or jogging on a ball that isn't a no doubter, no matter who it is.
i get the bench is super shallow and this essentially means the game is over. but there need to be consequences for shit like last inning. i have no problem with snit holding everyone equally accountable. whether ronnie or fred or ortega. shouldn’t matter
the not running part was bad for sure. but what really ticked me off was him immediately trying to steal and getting thrown out. he had zero lead and everyone knew he was running. just desperately running just to run
