southsider2k5 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 So you are going to say that the people who say that they feel it bothers them are wrong, but then ask people how they feel about it actually making a difference? LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I admit booing, in my opinion, does not help things, which is why I never boo our own players. But I don't believe it to be a significant factor in our s***ty home record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 You are a professional athlete. You are paid millions of dollars to perform. You don't do your job, you are gonna get booed. That's just pro sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I immediately regretted my snap vote after I reread the question. 'Main reason'? Absolutely not. Slight contributing factor? Yes. That's what I get for not reading directions.

Chisoxfn Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Absolutely not. Fans don't usually boo until you've already put together a track-record of not performing. We weren't booing Adam Dunn a week into the season, more like a month into the season. Just like the fans didn't really give up until this team until later on in the season. The reality is, booing might have an impact, but not until you are already doing lousy enough to get booed. And I personally only boo when I think a player has been terrible for an extended period of time. For example, I would boo Adam Dunn or Alex Rios. Probably the only two guys on our club that I'd actually boo. I could never boo Juan Pierre cause he's just too good of a person and too hard of a worker.

Fans don't boo UNTIL the team sucks. Anyone who says otherwise has never been to a major league sporting event. And the best part is, if they start performing, the boos will vanish. Almost instantly, fans will begin to cheer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 We gave Adam Dunn a pair of standing ovations on July 4 when he singled off a lefty and then hit a big HR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 The results of this poll show what a dumb question it is. 36-1. I don't know why, as Hawk says, our hitters seem so jumpy at the plate and nonconfident, but it ain't the booing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 So you mean we weren't booing Jim Thome during the first half of 2006? Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 About a week ago our home and road records were almost the same. We get our ass handed to us by two of the best teams in baseball and we're making up reasons as to why we are a mediocre team at home? Booing fans wouldn't have been cited as a reason for anything had this question came up before Boston came here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
