Bmr31 Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Are our players stupid or just plain lazy? It has to be one or the other, or both. There are too many decent to good hitters on this team to score 1 run a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkdog Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Are our players stupid or just plain lazy? It has to be one or the other, or both. There are too many decent to good hitters on this team to score 1 run a game. If you need proof that this team plays with little or no intensity look no further than the last three games: Example one: Second game of the double header, Alomar at first, Lee hits a high bounding ball that straddles the foul line, its fielded by the third baseman who fires to second to force Alomar who walks into the base standing. That play was way closer than it had to be. Clearly Alomar was not hustling down to second because he figured the ball was going to be foul. That's is not a hall-of-famer, that's a guy who is mailing it in. Example two: Wright and the half-assed way he ran that pickle play when he caught Crisp off of third after a ball hit back to the mound. The play lasted so long and was executed so poorly that it allowed the other runners to move into scoring position. It set the Indians up for the big inning and they never looked back. Example three: Second game of the double header, Top 9, Daubach at second, Valentin at first, No outs. The Sox have just scored a run and a threatening for more. Instead of sacrificing and moving Daubach and Valentine to third and second repsectively with only one out, Manuel sends up Konerko, Thomas, and Harris to swing away. At the very least by moving the runners over you take yourself out of the double play and put the tying run in scoring position, and if you hit the ball on the ground towards the middle infield the run at third will score. Instead, Konerko does not sacrifice, he was never sent to do it anyway. And Baez gets him. Thomas and Harris pop out, game over. By sacrificing in that situation the amount of pressure put on the Baez and the Indians defense would have been immense. By not sacrificing, all the Indians has to do was protect against the extra-base hit. When Manuel didn't send up someone to lay down a bunt (if such a things exists on this roster), I knew the game was over. That is textbook losing baseball.
