Been catching the last 3-4 innings.
LA’s 2 out rally was a downer, but we had the start of coming back strong.
Bases loaded, bad pitch, run scores, sac fly for another Nats run!
THEN....a major idiotic, base running fuck up!
Way more damaging than its singular face value!! This is NOT Preseason, or early spring. It’s the POST season!! That UNDISCIPLINED CRAP is inexcusable!!
A MENTAL mistake, that, although was only ONE incident, yet actually represents and symbolizes the complete LACK OF EMPHASIS, on FUNDAMENTALS, in the modern day MLB, and all the major sports, of modern day, for that matter!
You would NEVER have seen such a mental lapse, back in the day!
AND...on the extremely rare chance that it would have happened, you can bet it would’ve been met with good sized, disciplinary, consequences!!
NOT the pussified, no guts, “passive acceptance”, we witness today!!
Management will carefully construct a media response that will include something along the lines of, “We’ve spoken to him, and are satisfied that he knows, as a professional, what is expected, moving forward.” Blah, Blah, Blah!!
I respect those who have the mental strength to shove aside, and tolerate, in their brains, this chronically ongoing, and shaded, “cheap-sell”, by MLB management and media, of their over-glorified product, “they” call MLB!
Im sincerely envious of those who can “let go”, of this part of the game, and allow themselves to freely enjoy the rest of the good sport entertainment, that is baseball!!
I’ve tried. I can’t.
Simply meaning that I can still watch periodically, but can’t immerse too much!!
Still, GO NATS!!
Rush
