It's not. This thread is full of all kinds of stupid...
Very few of the things on that list are coaching. Yes we're teaching our catcher to "throw the ball into the outfield" and encouraging walks with the bases loaded...
Baseball is full of decisions by coaches and players that are easily 2nd guessed. Most of these guys probably don't watch much baseball other than TXST (I question if some of them even watch TXST after reading some of this material). We're dealing with a losing streak and a run of bad play right now like virtually every baseball team has during every season. While completely ignoring we won 8 of 9 and 5 straight immediately before it. Trout makes mistakes like all coaches do. But we're seriously having this discussion with a 36-20 team that's top 50 in the country in RPI, coming off the season it had last year, with the history this program has had for the last 10 years. That's what a 4-game losing streak does to fanbases, even if its 4 road games vs. top 70 teams. Admittedly we've played like shit during these 4 games, but most of the complaints here are overblown. Most of the complaints are from things stemming from simple lack of execution. Which is frustrating, but at this point in the season we should know what we're getting with most of these players. And sometimes you have to live with a few errors to get some offensive production or vice versa. It'd be nice if you could fill a college baseball team full of nothing but studs but that isn't possible for, well, anybody. But especially the TXST's of the world. If you want to complain the most maddening play to me during this losing streak is Gonzalez hitting a ball down the 1B line, that is immediately ruled fair, and he doesn't run it out. Then when the ball is booted all the way near the dugout by the 1st baseman and he still could've easily taken 1st he still doesn't run and sits in the box complaining and they eventually step on 1st for a free out. That was a 3-4-3 groundout that took about 10 entire seconds and we'd rather sit in the batters box and complain it was foul than take a free base. Anyone want to get on Trout for something like that then cool, instead we're complaining about a 1st baseman who's played close to every play this season and has 7 errors on the entire season (I'm assuming none on a throw to 1st), after having made multiple amazing plays over the past 2-3 weeks. Like what are we even talking about?
Here's a fun example of how it makes me wondering how many on this thread ever watch/attend a game:
What do you call Alex Gonzales, who had previously played in all of 1 game all season long, getting 3 starts in a row this late in the season for our team leader in errors? You guys are sitting here complaining about Trout not doing the exact things he actually is doing and don't even realize it.
For the record, I'm not even completely sold on Trout just yet. And I try to stay away from here when we lose a bunch cause I know I'm gonna read some nonsense, but holy hell guys at least try and have a semblance of a clue before you type.
Guess I’ll see first hand this week.
. I know it looks like a TON of errors at 1B but not all of those have been good throws. Also pretty sure Pena has been playing with a hurt Ankle half the season.
you.
