What was even worse is that after seeing Cruz’s mistake, Tellez did the same exact thing an inning or 2 later. These guys can’t even learn by watching the poor example right in front of their face. Shelton won’t do anything. No one is ever held accountable. So no matter how many things they do wrong, someone else is just as likely to do the same thing. At least they won this time. But in other situations, those mistakes can be killers.Doc wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 11:16 pm Wasn’t able to see nor hear the game today so I’m disappointed to read here that both Cruz and Tellez failed to hustle out of the box when hitting balls off the wall, instead, standing and admiring what they thought were HRs.
This is what I mean about Cruz being more interested in being cool rather than playing hard. How hard is it to run hard a handful of times during a baseball game? It’s inexcusable, and Shelton should make it clear to him that the next time he loafs, he’ll be removed from the game immediately, and will sit out the next game, too. They need to do something to make this guy understand how he’s hurting both his team and his own career.
You're right, I picked on Cruz when Tellez was equally guilty. He's a veteran who should know better and, after watching Cruz screw up, should have taken advantage of his situation to show Cruz how the game is supposed be played. So maybe his blown opportunity to have a teaching moment is in someway worse than Cruz's lack of hustle.Bobster wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 11:35 pmWhat was even worse is that after seeing Cruz’s mistake, Tellez did the same exact thing an inning or 2 later.
