I don't believe in taking your foot off the gas. That's how you lose leads. I had a younger cousin that was in a softball tournament when she was like 13. Her team was up 7-1 in the final and her and her teammates were acting like they won when there was still an inning left. Sure as shit, the other team got hot and tied the game up to go into extra innings. They beat my cousin's team 8-7 after an infield error. So my cousin and her team are crying on the sidelines while the other team is celebrating. I warned her it could happen but she didn't believe me until it was too late 🤷‍♂️

[@antonioreconquistador]

Funny name but meh in both incidents, the rangers lost brutally as theyve done somewhat consistently for a few years. In the torres incident it seemed pretty intentionally hyperbolic to the tune of "tough loss we wouldve won that" and in the tatis incident it was arguably defending the hbp regardless of its intention, to the tune of "if there was a reason why, that was why (they were being routed, it was early on, and they hit machado for somethin tatis "broke".)

As a Mariners fan, I respected Chris as a 3rd base coach and all he did for the Mariners as a coach and coordinator. But once he left for the Dodgers that’s where it changed. I remember watching the game where he hyped up a home run as they were winning I think by 6 late in the game against the Mariners his former team so he’s a hypocrite for the unwritten rule. Look I get the Yankees stadium so I would be mad if the home run would’ve been an out in most other ballparks. But 26/30 of the ballparks idk what he’s on. He’s just a dumb guy with the comments and his way of the ‘unwritten rules’ and should focus on his team after they spend almost half a billion dollars during the offseason.

[@snerdterguson]

Why would it matter if it would be an out in other parks anyway? Its not like its 314 down the line for the Yankees and pushed back for the visitors. Rangers had 27 outs to hit homers in a "little league park", so did the Yankees. As long as its an even playing field, it doesn't matter.

As an ex Mariner player, the Yankee homerun probably would have hit the wall in the old Kingdome stadium even though right field was only 317 ft.

@@snerdterguson Tough for me to argue with that actually. Maybe it was because if the team starts giving up (forfeit), then perhaps the fans will give up on coming to the game. Its not so much the losing team giving up, as it is the winning team not rubbing their noses in it. I don't know 7 runs does not seem like its enough. Like I said 10 or more runs after 7, then you kind of take it easy and not try to stretch a single into a double. Just my thoughts :)

[@jbulletc]

Despite being in 1st place, I think Dave Roberts is a pretty weak manager. The Dodgers are great despite Roberts, not because of him. He's too emotionally bonded with his players to make important decisions like benching Bellinger all of last season, benching Max Muncy this season, and replacing Kimbrel as his closer. Managers need to hurt feelings sometimes for the better of a team but he cant do that.

[@samorpilla7467]

Part of being a good manager is having your guys backs. Players respond well to knowing a slump won’t get you benched for the season. Yes, it’ll lead to times where you ride players who never break out of their slump too long, but it gives all player’s confidence to just continue to work hard knowing playing time isn’t an issue. Remember, these guys are human being who want respect and want to play enough to get paid. The Dodgers are so good that Roberts has all the slack he needs to give players a chance to work it out. If they benched Bellinger, they’d be maybe 2 games better this season? No difference in the standings, but all the difference to Bellingers confidence and adding pressure to all struggling players. It’s a fine line to walk, and this isn’t a video game where you can just bench or trade all under performing players with no repercussions.

[@jbulletc]

@@samorpilla7467 I lean more into that mentality too, but Cody last year is more than your average slump. That season was literally ranked as the worst season by a former MVP.

I remember watching this video a while back. But I thought of this video and channel when I am sitting here in my favorite bar tonight (8/15/22) and I see in the news ticker on the TVs that read Rangers manager Woodward fired. I guess you got your wish.

[@Steelmage99]

"His math is wrong. 99% is impossible. There's only thirty parks." Sigh. Does the man think that 100% (or 99%) is only possible, if there are one hundred parks? Woodward isn't correct, but Boone isn't helping himself with that remark.

[@benjaminberman6200]

The most it could be is 96% I believe- that’s 29/30

[@Steelmage99]

@@benjaminberman6200 You really think that what was Boone was referring - a pedantic math point? "You can't have 99%, since there are only thirty parks - it must be 96.66666% or 99.99999%! You can't have 99% with just thirty parks!"

Well I mean technically he was right. The only other way to get 99% would have meant he needed a fraction of a stadium since there isn’t a 100 stadium. Soooo yeah he is not stupid he was making a joke because Woodward’s argument was stupid.

re: swinging 3-0 up 7… You don’t give away at-bats, doofus.

[@freeparking301]

Perfect example that shows Tatis was playing the game the right way just happened less than two weeks ago. Phillies were up 7-1 in the ninth against the Mets…the lose 8-7. That means the Mets scored 7 runs in the ninth. But yeah somebody’s feelings might get hurt because their team sucked that night. Maybe they shouldn’t you know give up the homer to Tatis in the first place. Also if someone wanted to throw me a cookie I’m going to smoke it. That homer counts the same as any other and in a sport with arbitration I wanna get the best stats as possible. Also as a Phillies fan I thought this video would be about Joe Girardi which quite possibly is the real dumbest manager in baseball. He thinks Jose Alvarado should be anywhere near a competitive game in the late innings and uses 162 lineups a season. Last year it took him 100 games to figure out Hector Neris should pitch the sixth and seventh innings rather than bring his gas can out when he’s in the closer role. He should call Mariano Rivera everyday and thank him for the opportunity to steal money from the Phillies dumbass owner.

[@RobKandell]

@@freeparking301 - They’re rare, but I remember the Tigers making a similar 9th inning rally against the Royals in 2006. Players play with a lot of pride and teams don’t give up just because they’re in a hole. And you’re dead right about arbitration - not to mention other teams scouts watching for potential free agents. You simply don’t give away at-bats.

I’m thinking a lot of the people commenting never played ball. For one to say Woodward wasn’t a good player I would like to see anyone else get picked from AA or AAA. As for manager to throw at the batter or behind has happened to me and I’ve done it to them in the 80’s. It’s a warning. If you don’t know that then you never played ball except on your video games.

Isn't it interesting the moment Nolan Ryan was forced out of the Rangers by Jon Daniels... they have sucked HARD since with the exception of 2015 & 2016. Yet, the moment he walked back into the Astros organization, they've become an empire since. Coincidence? P.S. Yes I know the Astros cheated in 2017 & 2019. But still, it's hard to argue they've been better run than the Rangers.

[@cscotet4202]

I guess I've got a different mindset....and probably why I'm not a manager. But if our/my team is bad enough to be losing 10-3 in the 8th...and we've allowed 3 guys on base and are about to walk another guy in...I don't care if he hits a home run. We obviously suck this game. I see it as picking straws comparing the two situations. Us to be inept and allowing 3 on base and giving up a home run or us being inept and walking in another run for a freebie..nothings changed...except for another run. No one ever mentions the bases will still be loaded for Manny Machado. Am I to assume the other coaches know to quite trying to score runs after the 7th inning. So are we suppose to quit too? Why don't we just have a little league run limit after 7 innings? What would happen if the other team takes out many of their starters...because they've already got a 7 run lead in the 8th....and then our team scores 5-6 runs in the 8th to make it interesting? How is that fair, if one team is suppose to quit trying to hard, but the losing team keeps playing. I thought these guys were in the Major Leagues! If managers want a "mercy rule", then just make it a damn rule. But I guess the teaching moment is "hey guys, we're behind...so take it easy the rest of the night....I mean, don't give up....just take it easy." I think that's a line from the movie "Rudy" or "Miracle". The greatest coaches of all-time all use similar lines. I think Jimmy Valvano said it best "Give up, just give up already". If it's so embarrassing to swing at a pitch 3-0, with bases loaded in the 8th, down 10-3.....then why is it okay.....at least I've never seen a manager get pissed or speak out against it.....when it's the exact same situation....but now it's an outfielder pitching and he gives up the grand slam...and then gives up another. You've conceded but the hitters didn't. Either call the game, make everyone bunt back to the pitcher and make this suffering stop, or quit complaining and play better. P.S. I might as well say this too. I hate the Joe Torre rule too. "if you hit one of our guys, we're going to his two of yours." As long as it's not at the head or someone gets hurt. Fine. Put guys on base and we'll beat your ass.
