He’s gonna have some huge hits for us in the playoffs
Not a human. He’s a collection of numbers people don’t like.
He brought it up pretty quick, so you can tell it gets to him. Good job internet.
Arraez’s bat speed has lost a step gradually over the last 3 years. He needs to focus on liner singles over infielders heads instead of going for HR’s/doubles gap power. Just need to look at Tony Gwyn’s later years tape.
Leave my boy alone
Dude was en fuego last night. 3 hits and a stolen base.
I know he is human but his at bats seem a little selfish at times. He is actively taking swings at balls way out of the strike zone that he knows are balls and not having any success with it but does it every at bat.
Yeah….he does not deserve the level of hate that this sub has for him.
I’m less interested in criticizing Arraez and more interested in criticizing Shildt for putting Arraez and the team in positions to fail.
Stop bullying my boy. He’s a baller and he’s gonna ball out for us
Yes. He’s a human. He said the criticism doesn’t matter to him. The reality is, this team charges a premium to watch them. If they aren’t meeting expectations, we should be able to say this.
If the requisite to watch this team is that we need to also be “nice” to players by not saying … “gee, wish he either played better defense, had more plate discipline or actually was in contention for a batting title,” a lot of people may opt to spend their $$ on other causes.
And you can bet, per the CEO of this team, that will have implications on the payroll, as he said it’s pretty dependent on fan support.
lol give me a break man. it’s professional sports
no one is attacking him as a human. we’re talking about effectiveness within a position
One of the worst things about sports fandom is this mob mentality of treating athletes like unemotional robots only programmed for our amusement and forced to handle any criticism thrown their way, no matter how loud and nasty. As if the player is unaware of the negativity and struggle.
