They’re professional baseball players. I really doubt they’re going to half ass the Astros just cause they beat the Yankees.

Forget the fact that A LOT of members of the Rays Org have ties, friends, and family in Houston.

No, they’re playing like shit cause “We beat the Yankees, who gives a shit about the Astros?”

Its fucking stupid.

I'm not going to quote you verbatum.

Just know that your take on why they’re playing shitty is childish and stupid.

It’d be like me saying Barty is 0-4 because he didn’t take a shit before the game.

If you don’t have a statical premise for their “arrogance” or “lack of focus” or “playing like they could just show up and beat Houston” then shut the fuck up.

by Vin on May 22, 2010 9:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

because statistics and sabermetrics explain everything about baseball?

what’s your problem, roid rage? didn’t take a shit before the GDT? pretty unnecessarily argumentative just because someone put forth a theory on the bad baserunning. if you were listening to the radio broadcast, you would have heard that CC was picked off while walking back to first base…if that’s not a lack of focus then I don’t know what it is.

Pitch 4: called strike? Really?

by NY Tyler on May 22, 2010 9:08 PM EDT reply actions  

it's beating a dead horse at this point

but I really don’t understand how their pitchers’ balls out of the zone are strikes and our balls in the zone are…balls. This often, anyways. You don’t expect the umps to get them all but I don’t see the calls going both ways.

by pudieron89 on May 22, 2010 9:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

I really hate griping over every single bad ball/strike call

But in this series specifically, it has seemed to be almost exclusively going in the Astros’ favor. Really frustrating. The deciding run in last night’s game came when a batter should have already struck out.

by NY Tyler on May 22, 2010 9:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

boy the Magic suck

why can’t anyone play against Boston? seriously, i just watched the first 6 minutes intently. The Magic were out-hustled. out-played in every way. but how do you get out-hustled down 0-2??? how do you let that happen? i guess give Boston for just going and trying, but shit. Atlanta is the only team in the East that can up the ante against Boston I guess. fuck the magic

So it’s either the players or coach, too hard to tell at this moment. Could be worse, you could be Brown for CLE who fails 20x as much
