Yup, I was bitching about this yesterday. They talk about the 1 hit that got through because of the shift, but they don't mention the 10 potential hits that were saved because of the shift in that very same game. Idiots. The overwhelming majority of professional athletes are just not smart.
Yup. All the people following the homerun races in the 90s had to know McGwire, Sosa, Bonds, etc were on steroids. Nobody cared, because it was awesome to watch.
Why do people think that someone has to be fired or sent to AAA to "send a message"? Its idiotic... The team knows they're playing like s***. No need to "send a message", they're likely more angry than we are at the losses.
