Wish Soriano would run as soon as he hits a ball and not watch it like that. I don’t like it and im a cubs fan.

Ehh I think he learned from yesterday

You could tell he wanted to watch it but started jogging instantly. As long as he starts moving that’s fine by me. Look this guy can carry a team when he’s hot, you take the good w/ the bad.

then i dont wanna see

any pitcher EVER give a fist pump after a strikeout…

by preachermancubsfan on Aug 14, 2008 7:16 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Ehh I'm not trying to defend any pitcher

But I think technically their different in their impact on a game. A player watching a ball that MAY NOT be a HR can cause him to turn a 2B into 1B or even getting thrown out. A pitcher pumping his fist? That’s not gonna change the whether he Strike’s out, Walks, or gives up a HR to someone. That being said, I think Sori learned from yesterday and I have absolutely no doubt he’ll keep to his word (or at leas try).

by Jayo525 on Aug 14, 2008 7:20 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Strikeouts are way more common then HR's

And the only time you really ever see a fist pump by a pitcher is in a big situation when you need thes strikeout. Not EVERY time you strike someone out, like soriano does when he hits a homerun.

by cubsfaninatl on Aug 14, 2008 7:21 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Do you like...

Ken Griffey Jr. or Manny Ramirez? Because they have probably the most blatant “stop and stare” HR poses in baseball… just asking.

by CubsBullsBears on Aug 14, 2008 7:23 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Come on...

Lee, Aramis especially, Edmonds, and players all around the league stop and admire their HRs for at least a second. Get over it.

I agree too...

… if this game goes into the later innings with a big score, that’d be a good idea.
