The way Sori has gutted out this game,
All the stuff about him being selfish needs to stop.
Of cousrse, they’ll just turn around and say he was selfish for not taking himself out, whereupon, if he had they’d say he was always hurt.
Methinks the reason these types hate Sori has little, if anything to do with baseball….but I digress.

I admire Soriano’s offense and many times I appreciate his defense but there are too many times I think he thinks of himself first and his team second—tonight is just one example. He’s clearly gimped and he denies it. This is frustrating. It’s not a hate thing, it’s a ‘grow up’ thing.

Given a little warning
he is an excellent fielder everywhere he plays. He only looks bad on occasion when he gets switched in the middle of the game. Fielders should get warm ups like pitchers do when they have to change during a game.

Rather face Bay; rather have Hart.
Hart’s the superior defender and offers the extra dimension of speed.

Whew.
Z giving up some really hard hit balls. Bay and McClouth really have his number. Might be time for a little brushback action for those two. Not a beaning, I’m not advocating that, but Carlos might want to back them off a bit, considering how they hit him.

Where if you don’t trust your pen to hold 6 runs + in four innings against the PIRATES you’re not a playoff team.
