But the players Mr mistake after mistake in all the fundamentals, even the young players have played the game game for fifteen to twenty years, wtFFF?! You'd think that they are playing Go or chess. I'm positive that after I have never seen so many contact play outs at home in over forty-five years of watching the game game. Perversely, they do afraid to take the extra base. I'll spare my Torres rant, but when he nonchalantly throws to first, you would think that he believes that he's Ozzie Smith. Perhaps he wants to keep the first baseman limber. And this posing crap needs to end. I'd love to know how many bases they've thrown away. I just hope to HELL that Buck is brought in to remind these guys that your reflects what you put into it.
