1. We can. Let's do.
This is why I think the shift is counterproductive to some with his skills. I think it hurt the defense more than helps it.
Could the incident that took place in the tunnel be more about Lindor and/or McNeil expressing displeasure with this over-the-top analytics on every play? They seem uneasy deciding who takes charge of routine plays. It takes away from their natural ability and instincts to play the game.
It would not have mattered. The media was going to ask them over and over until they were satisfied. The media want juice stories because they believe that sells more than anything else. The media likes controversy and would not mind dividing a locker room to achieve this.
This is a case where the cover up makes the story more interesting than the incident. Agree that some stuff is best kept in the locker room, but Lindors silly story stoked interest. Coupled with NY media that loves a dumpster fire, and the result is expected.
Would not be unlike the Yankees picking up guys like Strawberry late in his career. But outside of PH’ing, no where else to get him AB’s.
That's the glass half full side of the fan base. The glass half empty side says hitters will continue to struggle and starters will tank.
Thats why I said you say early on I'm here to talk about the game and anything else stays in house. Do that and they'll soon stop asking. At least once you make it abundantly clear. They might be able to fine you for not making yourself available to the media but they can't for refusing to answer certain questions.
What would you expect the Nationals guy to say when the guy is striking out 14 and has already had a HOF career? You can't take offense to that. Jake is our guy and on top of the game but as far as career- he is still chasing Max and it isn't like Max is dropping all that much either.
You are right, forgot about him. He is exactly what I am talking about. If Lindor turns it around and Carsco comes back strong- that would make it an insane off season.
