so bunting

4 hits in a row against barnes...then they BUNT with one of their best hitters....perkins fargs up the sign and runs on the pitch. bunt is popped up. double play.

BUNTING. IS. DUMB.

[Don Ho]

That was awful!  I mean we all know this tem is really bad but that was just pathetic.  Like you said, no one out, and you are slapping this dude silly and you bunt right into a double play!

And then there's Neris.  Good farging God!

neanderthal fans shouting to trade or demote odubel is why nobody should ever call this fan base "intelligent."

[Rome]

you're right.  they should just let him keep farging up with no repercussions. 

[QB Eagles]

There might be ways to discipline the best player on the team that don't involve kicking him off the team.

[MDS]

you're right.  they should just let him keep farging up with no repercussions. 

they should put him in timeout or take away his tv time? what is he a farging teenager who came home after curfew.

odubel is who he is. a very talented player prone to brain farts. sometimes its a baseball iq thing, sometimes its a hustle thing. his production makes up for it, right now.

[Rome]

Oy. 

If you have an employee who is generally productive and sometimes above average but constantly fargs up and refuses to change, you have two choices:  Remediation or elimination. 

They've done the first part.  Repeatedly.  Now what's left?   He's clearly not getting the message, so sterner measures are called for. 

That's how the real world works, kid.

shane victorino did incredibly dumb shtein for years.....the difference was they were winning then...then again a lot of the phillie fanbase used to want jimmy rollins gone...so perhaps people are just stupid

nah the real world it works if youre good at what you do theyll put up with dumb shtein. odubel is good at what he does. you put up with some dumb shtein.

there will come a time when the negatives wont make up for the positives, or youll have some better options, but that time is not now.

[smeags]

finally, different argument on this board.

[Rome]

He actually still has value because some dumb ass team will take him thinking he'll get with the program.  He won't because he's a farging cranial lump and the Phillies will continue to let him get away with this bullshtein.  That's why they have 2 wins in seven generations.

[QB Eagles]

I really don't think that Herrera types not running out dropped third strikes is the reason why the Phillies don't win often.
