Well said. Especially the last sentence

well said . especially the last sentence

how long before you guys start agreeing with the coach last nite that strohlman had good stuff?

Kinda stupid I guess. Try and be logical and get personally insulted. When all else fails, play the insult card. Typical message board antics again.

oh man, thanks for making my point! His profile means he has to be different. He want's 30 mil next year. He has to be better than the odors of the game. odor is only being praised by JB haters. But that doesn't make JB innocent. He can't do some of the things he does and expect not to feel heat over it. from other teams, fans or his own players. grab a guys leg on a double play ball early in the year. butcher a fly ball. throw to the wrong base, he cost the team 3 games early, and he wants to be respected. stop doing some of the stupid stuff.

crazy is right. but my point is, if odor got 8 games for 1 punch, ryan should have got the season for the 10 he nailed ventura with.

this has NOTHING to do with Andrus. Wake the f*** up. Jesus

I'll say it again. Do I respect JB as a person? No, do I respect him as a player? Yes. He has great skills. But it takes more than that to make him special. He's done some real stupid s*** in his day.

what did Nolan ryan get for making ventura a punching bag? I agree, none of it makes sense.

thank you. someone who understands how it really works.

this was not started by Bannister or Bush. And you all know it.

Thank you. That's all I was trying to say from the beginning. JB knew exactly what he was doing the minute the ball went into play. it was intentional. people jump on me because I say he needs to get a suspension as well. odor 8, JB more than 1. that's all I'm saying

no, I' m just saying he's not totally innocent here. people are defending him 100% saying 1 game is too much. he deserves a suspension. more than one game.

an earlier posting said it might have been a reactionary slide to the throw.. no, it wasn't

its not about hate prior. do I like him as a player? no. do I respect him as a player? yes. he has great skills. but to constantly defend him when he is wrong, don't cut it. in this specific case, he was totally intending on hurting him. these guys are pros, you got dinged, it's over. you want respect give respect. my question is, and be objective, do you think he was going to throw a punch? I think he was. Would odor get 8 games if he missed with his punch? not likely. I'm not saying odor should get less, I am saying it took 2 to tango here, he is not totally innocent. that's all I am saying.
