Egomaniacs tend to have a disconnect between their self-perceived impact and actual, minuscule impact.

My favorite part is how supportive of each other they are. I know Steve Bartman is thankful every day for the love and support of his fellow Cubs fans.

Why? So infielders can drop easy pop flies and create double and triple plays that they don’t deserve?

It’s good to see someone still doing things the Cardinal Way(TM)

Hes a douche nozzle , he’s a teenage drama queen and it’s emberassing.

This article read like a “water cooler hot take”. Written by someone who heard second hand what a terrible decision the manager made and then starts passing off their not completely understood (and missing some parts) second hand hot take as their own. It’s weird because most of Emma’s baseball stuff is really solid,…

Boston is notoriously racist.

I love it. Tired of Deadspin insistence on attempting to break down every game as if it were mismanaged and, in all honesty, being wrong on many if the facts. I watched the game live and thought he played it perfectly. At some point Blanton has to get an out. He didn’t and the dodgers lost

They say that guns make America safer. Only in the short run I guess.

is this the wrong time to point out that Shootout At The Cookout should be a great band name?

All this exactly, plus, there was always the chance Maddon tapped someone else for the pinch hit. And keeping pitching options available for later was still worthwhile. Forcing Chapman out of the game was absolutely worth the risk a possible Montero at-bat (or someone else) posed, even with Blanton starting to fatigue…

+1 This should’ve been the article.

The baseball analysis on Deadspin is like those YouTube videos of British guys trying to announce NBA games.

Yeah, as others have said, lots of facts wrong here. First and foremost, there were two outs in the inning which negated the need for anything other than a force out, pop up, etc.

He said it was tragic, marking that the main concern. And then continued on to mention the odd time, the secondary concern. And the key to prevention in the future.

Agreed.

This is tragic, but why is a fifteen year old out at 4 AM?

yes the notoriously catholic OSHA

Did this shit bag writer really just bring up Declan Sullivan again? After multiple university and OSHA investigations determined no one was at fault? Jesus get a life

would these responses by men be classified as “locker room talk”? Hopefully there are no Hillary supporters on this thread....
