[quote name='n8rockerasu']Gotta say I'm disappointed Wpark. More than anything, I think that game was just bad luck for you. You hit a lot of balls hard, but right at my guys. And my bats finally seemed to wake up and get some hits. I don't know if you'd qualify this as a "legitimate" loss or not, but did I do anything to piss you off or are you just sick of the Reds? Just trying to understand here man.
I kinda thought the whole game felt like you were just trying to get it over with (Webb threw a complete game on like 80 pitches). I almost felt bad for trying because it really seemed like you weren't. It's almost like you went into it expecting to lose. Not really your best effort, but if you just don't care about the game, I guess I understand.[/quote]
It was a legitmate loss...it was a well played game by you. I had scouted you as a guy who pitches around, and you are, but you hit your spots well, you know when to throw a ball and when to throw a strike. I think the first inning I got Webb to throw a lot of pitches. But here is the thing: How many pitches did I guess correctly in both position and pitch? And how many balls did I hit well? It really wasn't you, it's the team. If I have any other team that is in our league, I hit at least one of those balls out of the park. The team is void of any threat. I had one big hit with Jay Bruce on that gapper to right in the 9th inning, but that was it. And don't get me wrong, Webb is a Cy Young pitcher, maybe I got unlucky. But I'm confident that with any other team, I score runs. Go ahead and look at my offensive production before and after Griffey and Dunn left my team. I haven't scored a run in three games. Half the guys on my starting line-up I don't know, and I follow baseball pretty close. I just think it was stupid for us to update the rosters with the season, because even the greatest player of MLB The Show can't beat the Red Sox or Angels with a terrible team.
And I don't understand your thought that I seemed somewhere else? I wasn't rushing my pitches at all to give you time to guess the pitch, I was taking pitches like mad unless I correctly guessed your first pitches location...I didn't make any dumb base running errors...so I'm not sure why you feel like it wasn't my best effort. I was hitting the shit out of balls, and becasue of my team, can't even get them into the outfield. How can you say I wasn't trying? I tried my
ing hardest to get a run out of a lineup of
ing nobody's. And honestly, in the 6th inning or 7th inning when I saw Webb only threw 50 pitches, I thought it was a glitch. Cause I was looking at alot of pitches...alot. But whatever. I'm out because I can't compete anymore with the losses to my team. Say you are disappointed, but no one can tell me that if they lost their only two dominant threats and their team went to shit, they wouldn't take the same action after falling this fast. You're
ing lying if you say otherwise.
