That's exactly what it is, and even more so if Boone criticized his player in the media which goes beyond what might be said in his office. Yeah it's not like the team went ont to win their first WS in 15 years after that ... oh wait they did Oh wait...That was a very talented team. They also won the following year without Martin for the 2nd half of the season. |

They would not have won had Martin been there the 2nd half. He was a mess.

What the heck was he thinking? Soft! |

What the heck was he thinking? Soft! You dont rip a rookie who is making nothing and being batted out of position in the batting order knucklehead ... That's on Boone and he knows it You saved that for the over priced lazy azz veterans who are comfortable collecting a pay check and putting in a half assed effort ... kind of like your post |

The Billy Martin stuff is nuts. George loved getting the backpage and I sometimes wonder whether some of that stuff was orchestrated. All of us old guys remember the commercials the two did and they might have been as real as the stories we read in the tabloids.
I do think there is still a place for a more hard nosed approach to how the game is played. Bruce Bochy still lets his players understand when he is disppointed in their effors as does Alex Cora. I am sure there are some other guys too. Maybe I expect too much but I am disappointed every time I see a 27 year old "athlete" refusing to run out a ground ball. Even a "player's manager" like the great Joe Torre would not allow that.

Are you "disappointed" with Soto's bat flips or standing in the box admiring his HRs? There was some "messaging" going on between the teams this afternoon and I accept that. Even Judge got into the act yesterday. I heard it took him 32 seconds to round the bases and the trip included several style shots. As a general rule, I don't like it. Soto admired a wall scraper that Siri should have caught. Not a good look. I understand that guys get worn down over the course of a season. Posters who think that playing an MLB game is not much more taxing than walking the dog after dinner have no idea what they are saying. But yes, I expect the young guys to run hard. |

This isn't the YES board. Things are more civil here. Had 55 called you an insulting name I wouldn't have said anything about your post, but he didn't. I can't remember 55 ever throwing the first insult. What I see is the same crap you have been pulling with me lately. So.. Why the name calling? Am I wrong or is this becoming a pattern with you on here? Max, not an issue for me. I started to respond but pulled my punch. Too much respect for Kaybli and the other veteran posters on this site to go down a rabbit hole like that. |

But you still stalk posters and there is such a thing as passive agressive ... just depends on your style I guess 55 Might not like aggressive ... I happen to not like passive aggressive But either way ... it's none of your business |
