FiddySicks Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Even after having season tickets last season, I still find the D Backs to be a hard sell. Then they go and do punk ass stuff like this. They're downright AWFUL, boring as all hell to watch, and they're a bunch of classless thugs. I'm sorry, I gave it nearly 100 games, but the more I see of the D Backs, the more I dislike them. Any team that can make people garner sympathy for the freaking Dodgers (after the Ian Kennedy fiasco last season) aren't worth a second of my time. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/diamondbacks-play-revenge-game--drill-andrew-mccutchen-with-fastball-073625493.html On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Yeah it's their actions, but this is all being ordered by Gibson and Towers. If you're a young pitcher, and you're ordered to be "gritty" and plunk batters or face demotion or get DFA'd, you'll probably do as your told. The manager and GM have poisoned the franchise with that thinking, and their own players are suffering, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRangersFan Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 IMO,it's weird to see Peavy in a Giants uni,Cepesedes in a A's uni,Masterson in a Cards uni,and Price in a Tigers jersey. It would be weird to see Cespedes in an A's jersey, because he's a Boston Red Sox. (Red Sock? I never know what to do here)I believe "Red Sock" would be correct, since it's "Stockings" that became "Sox," and you wouldn't have called a Boston player a "Red Stockings."facepalmMy stupid brain!

But some of the moves he's made on the field have been flat out brainless. The guy is a straight doppelgänger for John Locke from Lost, personality and all.

The_Admiral Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Oh, look at that, Tony La Russa takes control of a team's baseball operations, team gets in trouble for intentionally hitting opposing batters. Never takes long with him, does it? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Well, to be completely fair, this has been the MO in Phoenix for much longer than LaRussa has been there. But yeah, it's definitely not a coincidence that LaRussa is now part of their front office. This article sums up the D Backs pretty well. http://www.brewcrewball.com/2014/6/18/5821722/brewers-diamondbacks-kirk-gibson-plunk-ryan-braun On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Anthony. Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Yeah, because the Dbacks are the only team that would throw at a player. Get real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crownking30 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The Cardinals should be motivated and be hungry as the Red Sox is coming to St. Louis Tuesday to Thursday.

FiddySicks Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Yeah, because the Dbacks are the only team that would throw at a player. Get real.Im not saying that. Throw at a guy all you want. But at least use the slightest bit of tact rather than making yourselves out to look like complete Neanderthals. Intentionally tossing at a team's star player while they're in a playoff hunt because you're star player got hit on accident while you're toiling at the bottom if the division standings does nothing but make you look like a complete dick. Also, if I were Hunter Pence, this would infuriate me to the absolute core. What terrible accusations to make against an innocent man. I hope justice can eventually be served, and Hunter Pence's good name can some day be restored. http://wapc.mlb.com/cutfour/2014/08/03/87791380/hunter-pence-cant-parallel-park-mets-fans-troll--right-fielder-with-strange-signs?cid=as_mlb_20140803_29023316 On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Yeah man, beating the gutted husk of Boston in a pointless midseason game is very cathartic. News flash.
