Tim just said in the late innings its better if the pitchers let the batters hit HR's to the opposite field.

Both of these UPTON brothers are stupid. I saw the one playing in Arizona make key mistakes, and generally be dumb as a cow. I challenge any manager to get them to stop acting pseudo-retarded. They have power, but I have seen both put a knife in the back of their own team.

I just don't understand how he doesn't take a strike there. It's not like he's has been locked in this whole series. It's fundamental baseball, a thing that they teach you in little leauge.

The Rays didn't start taking the first pitch until game 5. Both big hits by Pena and Longo came after taking first pitch strikes. No patience.

Seems like he has attitude issues. Can't have his brain just turn off like that. Look at R Howard. He was struggling early, but hung in there until he started seeing the ball better. Not only that, but he has to put up with having that nose that is like the back of a Batmobile.
