So, now that Manny Machado, a free agent waiting, is waiting for his move because running to the first goal "is not what I am", how much has this dog in the window?
Forget how much he will get paid and by whom, how much will the tickets cost to watch him not give a rat rump?
You probably know Jack Buck's call with the 1988 World Series CBS Radio. When Kirk Gibson, the Dodgers forward, has two bare legs, he throws the home run that marks the end of the match – such moments have been exhumed to be placed in the Walk-Off wing of the Hall of Foolish. Buck followed, "I do not believe what I just saw! "
It was 30 years ago on Monday. But the same can be said of every game played in the playoffs. We can not believe what we have just seen.
And for all the madness – brewers' manager Craig Counsell has twice eliminated starter Wade Miley who had not allowed any points in 10 ¹ / ₃ after two starts in the playoffs (parts 3 of the LNDS and 2 of the NLCS) – in high definition:
Game 2 of the NLCS, 0-0, when Machado hit the ground thoroughly. It was going to be a success. Even if Orlando Arcia stopped him for a short distance, it would be too late to get rid of Machado.
But Arcia used it, then had time to make a sardine sandwich on rye toast. Machado did not bother running. Later, he explained his refusal to run, while his refusal to run; he chose to turn a hit into a scoreless draw.
Conditions? Big games? Running early is now optional, a matter of taste, fashion, atmosphere, team and media enjoyment.
Fox, Joe Buck, perhaps to resist a resumption of his father's call back, he simply said, "Machado did not do anything wrong." John Smoltz suggested that Machado could be hurt, but added, "The easiest thing to do [in baseball] is to run hard. "
Stop. He did not run at all! It was a torch scene "Manny Being Manny". Machado has always – marked from kindergarten to grade 9 – persevered. Last season, while Machado was with the Orioles, YES's Michael Kay noted an obvious and persistent truth: "He just does not seem interested."
In Wednesday's fifth game, Machado had two consecutive games. But no reruns to show if he had bothered to run! He seemed to be jogging out of the box, but how could Fox give up such a story?
Machado's perceived lack of professionalism seems to fit the standards of an overflowing and pathetic advertising campaign that MLB has recently aired. It's too late to attract children by feeding their alleged desensitization.
It makes it clear to children that baseball should be exploited to demonstrate excessive self-esteem as a matter of "pleasure". Strokes and other acts of public immodesty are perceived as cool.
When a roaring voice is heard in the background, the message is clear: do not let the old cranky purists spoil your pleasure! Show without restraint super!
We see Yasiel Puig pulling his tongue after slipping his head first into the second base. No mention is made that such slips are insane and dangerous, or that Puig is infamous for putting "home runs" in doubles or late outs. There is no video of "fun" fights that often follow bats.
This bad sale also tells us that Roberto Clemente, Jackie Robinson and Joe DiMaggio played badly at The Game.
The MLB's anti-social advertising campaign comes to a halt as there is a national shortage of game officials in children's leagues, as children and adults increasingly act as uncivilized creatures. Sportsmanship is for squares, and so should die at the hands of unfailing marketing strategists.
The MLB has also associated its television series with commercials featuring screaming and screaming rappers screaming and chanting, "Are you ready?", Am I Ready? Anyone not insulted by this is beyond any concern.
So, why not sign the new MLB convictions? Where can Rob Manfred say he would encourage children to capsize instead of running to the first? Where, in late October, should he say, "I am Rob Manfred and I have approved these messages?
Francesa is more than nasty, he's just bad
In non-clinical terms, Mike Francesa is just a bad guy.
On Tuesday, he took the call of a 90-year-old man who just wanted to tell Francesa's audience that he had been brought to an Yankees match at age 6 years old. It was then announced that his countryman Babe Ruth was the greatest.
While the man's numbers were verified – the man was born in 1928, it was 6 when Ruth last played for the Yanks in 1934 – what difference did it make? He was a sweet soul in a sweet mission.
But Francesa tried to fix it on the date, catching it in a lie as if she was inspecting passports for the Frenchman from Vichy. He tried to humiliate a 90-year-old appellant.
His Excellency also continued to assert that Ruth's "coup de grâce" during the 1932 World Series – perhaps still unresolved – was known as "The World Shot Heard."
Monday, claiming Aaron Rodgers this season "has eight touchdowns and seven interceptions!", Shouted a caller. No more cassettes lost. Rodgers was then 10 TD and one INT.
He also told a caller that he did not know how his app was selling, but knew it was okay. He explained that in the area of applications, numbers are protected as "gold". Investors have invested in a company that does not allow them to know if they have succeeded.
And as a special man, he continues to be awarded special betting lines.
Last Friday, Francesa further reduced by half a point in the range of goals scored, selecting the Patriots to -3 on the Chiefs. This line, all week, was -3½. When the Pats won, 43-40, "Let's be honest" gave a false impulse rather than an honest loss. So, he went 0-3, not 0-2-1. He is now 6-12.
But maybe he's so special, his bookmaker does not accept payment for losing bets. Just a bad guy.
