However, Ned's love affair with Ibanez is beyond excusable, and is damn near a fire-able offense at this point in a Pennant Race.
One more thing........ I don't know how much the Coaches are talking with Dyson right now relative to his base running. But, it's embarrassing to see a guy that is as fast as he is on the base paths, have so little discipline with making good decisions. Between getting picked off base, and over-running the bases, he has turned his advantage into a liability. I pray that shit is being addressed, but somehow, I think that's wishful thinking  |
Me thinks he wants to play everyday so bad, he is being so aggressive and pressing to accomplish great things when the offense is struggling. You are correct, he doesn't have to, he can jump start the offense by getting on base, BH's, walks, HP's, any damn way! His presence on the base paths is enough to allow pitchers and catchers to mess with the pitch selection for a RBI guy to bring him in!
Just be Dyson, not the superhero Dyson he wants to be.
