Fred Manfra Doesn't Agree With Booing Strop

[sfosfan]

I disagree with Fred today. Strop's days are numbered. I say there's a 50/50 chance Strop is gone before the All Star Break ends. We don't need guys who grab defeat from the jaws of victory. We need gamers, not head cases.

I'm not used to disagreeing with Fred- thus the post.

I kind of agree with Fred. I don't like to see our own players get booed. They should have been booing Showalter when HE came out of the dugout.

I agree with Fred Manfra. Booing is pretty classless here.

I agree with Fred. It's not like the guy isn't giving his best, he just can't get it done. Booing should be reserved for terrible efforts, not someone like Strop.

I would never boo someone for playing poorly.

I would only boo someone for an obvious lack of effort.

I would never boo Orioles players on the field unless I thought that they were intentionally losing.

It should be a 100% chance that he's gone after tonight.

They put him on the "DL", had him take grounders at SS to get his mind off pitching...he still sucks. What else is there to do with him? You can only cost yourself so many games by carrying him on the roster and putting him in games.

Someone in the warehouse should be on Expedia buying him a plane ticket out of Baltimore right now.

If a player is bad he deserves to get booed. No matter what team he is on. It's really that simple. This isn't little league. If his feeling are "getting hurt" at this level he shouldn't be playing.

Players still get their money so he probably doesn't care anyway.

in my opinion of course.

Strop is what he is. Buck should have been booed and deserved to be booed for his mind-numbingly stupid managerial decision to use Strop in that situation.

I can slightly understand that in the heat of the moment frustrations come out but yeah I don't like the booing.. this team doesn't deserve that.

The fans paid their money. They can boo if they want.

Nobody said they can't. It's just poor taste.

Also, I don't know what paying money has to do with anything.

Exactly. Booing your own player when he's trying... I can understand it, but I can't condone it. It's very counter-productive, imo.

Pretty sure he, and all of the Orioles, care. You think these guys are just mercenaries? Most of them have devoted their lives to baseball.

I boo-ed Dannys Baez, he was painful to watch.
