Bench Estrada 

Post#1 » by trwi7 » Tue Jul 24, 2007 2:32 am

I'm usually a guy who can keep an even keel but there is absolutely no excuse for that fat ass not hustling down the line. The catcher friggin' double clutched and still got him by a good two steps.

Make an example out of this lazy piece of **** Ned!

Balfour is 30 years old. You think he would be able to throw a strike after talking with his manager by now. The dude is garbage.

Estrada should get punished for that costly, lazy ass base running. Sit him down for some games.

I agree, he needs to be sent a message. HORRIBLE.

Exactly. Balfour is horrible and Estrada needs his ass yelled at.

I'm really starting to dislike Estrada and can see why he doesn't stick with teams.

His approach at the plate is horrific,just hack at any pitch thrown to him.He runs like he has 15 pounds of concrete strapped to his ass,that's if he decides to being up for running.Mix in he's a crappy defensive catcher with a noodle for an arm,i really hope he can be replaced next year.

One thing that also drives me nuts is Yost hitting Estrada fifth,i am baffled as to how Ned can justify this in his mind.

Amen. Yes, I liked his bat. But it has cooled off considerably. I don't know if it's just me, but I've been thinking about the staff lately and their problems. Their pitch counts get high quick. I have heard reasons and arguments ranging from Yost to Maddux to the pitchers...has anyone else considered Estrada? I don't know the splits but it seems like whenever Miller starts, you get a quality start, and a win. Is that off base? I must be, because I haven't even heard this considered.

I bet it is because he is a switch hitter. He probably shouldn't be considering how badly he's hit from the right side in his career.

I also am really fed up with him. How the **** do you jog to first on that play with the bases loaded. Bench the ****.
