scotty22hotty Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Why is everyone hating on Pods? I could understand if he was making us lose... but wtf? I hope you guys are just kidding... He was tagged on the armpit. (behind pods = no clear view) Ump was looking at the hand, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) Buck is saying the non interference kept at least 1 run off the board, how does he figure? That would have loaded the bases, and Garcia fanned the next 2 guys. Edited October 16, 2005 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 15, 2005 -> 07:47 PM) Pods has been quoted many times in the last month saying it's not the injury, it's his timing and confidence. Even when he's getting good jumps he's not getting in there for the most part, trust me a groin injury slows you down big time. Some big leaguers just won't make excuses...so that would explain scott not blaming the injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSH2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Pods has been quoted many times in the last month saying it's not the injury, it's his timing and confidence. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, I heard the same thing out of Podsednik's own mouth. He's not using the injury as an excuse so why are people here using it as one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Prawn Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 These announcers really suck. Yes, the Sox have benefitted from some blown calls, but let's face it, if it were the Red Sox or Spanks, you would NEVER hear "the ump screwed up." Yes, the umps have botched calls, but STFU about it already - talking it about it until they are blue in the face isn't going to change a bloody thing.

ScottyDo Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 i agree the injury has something to do with pods' ineffectual running. you can tell because it's not just the jumps, it's his overall speed. he's just slower than he was a few months ago. confidence doesn't make you slower, it messes with your decision-making. so even if he's not using it as an excuse, it may be the case. sometimes players don't like to admit they're struggling cuz of physical limitation.

fathom Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 16, 2005 -> 01:50 AM) Pods isn't going to admit he's bothered. The thing is, I see him running the bases, like on a single into the outfield, and he seems to be running fine. I know a groin injury can really hamper a runner (I was all about that fact when people were thinking Pods was going to automatically jump start this offense when he came back). However, I think that Pods never regain the confidence after the injury, and being caught stealing so frequently has made it even harder for him. Lately, he's been going on the first pitch, and the other team knew it was coming. He just went on a 2-0 pitch, and had a much easier time.

jphat007 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I just kinda ignore the announcers, cause I know that if it was us getting screwed on these calls I would be pissed off as hell and I'd wnat to hear the announcers talking about it. So i understand it. I dont' mind it though. Let them keep on b****ing until we get to the WS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
