Lou is angry at reporters

Sorry, but I don’t remember exactly where I read it, but I know it was on BCB that Lee had been trying something different at the plate for the first part of the season. Decided it wasn’t working and went back to what he’d been doing before and starting hitting again.

The information given here was pretty vague as to what he noticed. Hitters tend to keep that pretty general anyhow.

for quite some time now. Although I’ve been saying “Every pitcher is baseball knows how to get Soriano out, but Soriano doesn’t know how to get Soriano out.”

Meaning he has no idea what the pitcher is trying to do to him up there. He’s like a lost little boy.

at the greater majority of this club…and the reporters. He can only manage to an extent. When you have players too lazy to work on adjustments, and not being held accountable, you will always fail. Even Von Joshua has only so much to work with. There seems to be an obvious split on this team of players who will work hard, make adjustments, and try to better their play in order to better the club. Then there is a group IMO, that just marches out there, based on their history as a player, and approaches this ever changing game as they always have.

In most of our professions, we have to learn and grow. We are faced with new and different situations and circumstances that require us to do so. Just because people are paid way more than us, doesn’t mean they are not responsible for doing the same thing.

Zambrano, Soriano, Bradley are a few names that come to mind. We may not love the others like Theriot, Fukudome, Hoffpauir, and Marshall as much because they aren’t superstars, but they seem to be hard working guys who attempt to change with time to become better players.

I know some will be upset with me for saying this but…I say again that this is laziness and needs to be addressed. I think that guys like the three mentioned above are lazy. I don’t care if they show up early, or tell the media that they “want to play a lot this year”, if they don’t try to adjust their game. Show up three days prior to game time for all I care, if you remain in your little narrow, outdated baseball world where you were a 40/40 guy, or were the “ace” of this team, you will sink…and drag the rest of this club down with you.

The questions and comments are endless on BCB, yet when have we heard any of our sports reporters pose those questions to the players?

LOL. They’re never going to ask these questions, and the players are never going to answer them. Judd Sirott asked Lee “what are you doing differently now”. As if opposing teams aren’t listening to tell their pitchers.

that just because we don’t know if/what they’re doing to adjust or improve, that that therefore means they aren’t doing anything.

There’s all kind of criticisms here based on presuppositions that we have no basis to know…

(By “here” I mean BCB; not this post in particular).
