he let two runners on and made a terrible throw… all his fault… if he stopped being such a drama queen…

blame GMJ!

k-rod gives up a single. If barton stays on first, then the next guy bunts him over. one out and a runner on second, krod can finish it off

But k-rod was equally at fault in the 9th.

I am seriously starting to doubt this guys ability under pressure, especially late in the season and in the playoffs.

oh gee! let's look at fangraphs...

Frankie -.791
GMJ – .136

Let’s see, 791 is a BIGGER number than 126…. durr….

Frankie is responsible for nearly 80% of this loss… and sense he couldn’t make a routine throw to the 1st baseman for a DP after letting 2 runners on… IT’S HIS FAULT.

I really don’t understand why you have to be so anal about riding GMJ all the time.

I'm not going to go on record as a GMJ advocate, but...

it appears that SRod, THEN Wood, THEN Frankie all let GMJ’s throw back to the infield go by them. Sure, GMJ bounced his throw back to the infield, but that is no excuse for an entire infield to fail to catch the throw. If anybody should know how to catch a ball on a hop, it’s a major league infielder. GMJ is getting faulted here for not walking the ball back to SRod and gently placing the ball directly into his mitt.

TRUE

and for the record, I am going to say that GMJ is going to be a solid contributor to the team in the playoffs. What I have seen lately (and lately is all the matters other than TODAY), GMJ is doing well when the rest of the team has been doing well.

This guy is going to be getting it done in the playoffs.

Again....

during the homestand, GMJ was looking good and hitting well. Say all that you want about how he has sucked ass up until approx 2 weeks ago. But all that matters is what he has done in the last couple of weeks, TODAY, and the games leading up to the playoffs. This guy wants the ring as bad as the rest of the team and with his LARGE EGO he want’s to look good and win. And I believe he will come playoff time.

I appreciate your optimism, but...

it sounded like he muffed a catch just last week according to Hauldog.

Hope you are right, GMJ is part of the team, so I want to see him do well for the team’s sake.

by Downing Rules on Sep 18, 2008 10:27 AM PDT up reply actions

While he should have had that catch (if it hits your glove you should have it)

it was a long run that got him in position, not necessarily a routine play.

HD, feel free to hate on him. I’m going to support all of our guys, even the guys who have been struggling, because you never know who is going to have a key hit/play that wins a game for us.

GMJ WILL BE FINE & will probably do better than some of the regular starters on the team.

Your azuming that he doesn't throw 4 stright balls

He walked the guy on 4 straight pitches. Why isn’t F-Rod backing up the throw back into the infield? What was he doing? GMJ may have made a shit throw but it went all the way to the on deck circle by the 3rd base dugout.

How is it they feel better, and like there chances though?

Izzy out for the season. Aybar trying to get back. Howie has now missed 19 games with the same injury that had him out longer earlier in the season. Vlads knees are barking. Hunter is sitting a little much after talks of his hammy hurting, and now a ball off the face in BP. Figgy left the team to have his elbow checked out. There is just 11 games left to get into a grove with 8 off them on the road .

Don’t get me wrong I like the chances when all players are playing. Not the case ……..There should be some concern.

Whoever the douchebag is that couldn’t either throw or catch a ball from center field on a base hit. Christ, I played in co-rec softball game tonight and we didn’t one throw a ball away on a routine single. A single is pretty easy to work around. I’m betting he doesn’t allow the walk if first base isn’t open.

Never caught a good replay of what happened, but either GMJ or an infielder is to blame. How do you blow a fucking throw from CF to the infield after an 8-hop base hit?
