Four reason why Schoop didn't lose the game!

[mark_beckens]

Well, now I know you don't know the meaning of obtuse since the other two are synonyms. You ever hear Twain's description of a fool?

I'm glad you found the full definition. It might have helped you before you posted this.

You're being obtuse, ignorant, or just stupid!

It's redundant. Another good word for you.

Wow you're now breaking out the 3 syllable words, congrats!!:beerchug1::2yay-thumb:

You aren't going to threaten to leave the board over this again are you? I know I was on the edge of my seat last year when you started a thread stating your intentions to do so.

You should have gone with the IGGY list like me and Corn.

Yikes, that's a bad image.

Ok, done.

No, everybody blaming Schoop is judging after the fact. You know the whole monday quarterbacking routine that is done here so often. Schoop's only mistake was not staying on 3rd. That play 100% of the time is 1 of 3 things.. Throw home, OF runs the ball in, or SS gets the throw back in and the ball is given to the pitcher. Just cause you and others are wrong and justify a horrible throw which is ROUTINE by an outfielder, specially one less then 150ft from home.. shows the lack of playing knowledge some here have.

Ah yes, the "you didn't play in college so you don't know" act. Right. Gotcha. I'll take the high road and keep my comments to myself.

I heard one of the baltimore taking radio heads yesterday critizing the fans for going over the top and overly critical of any error this team makes, especially Schoop, he said his twitter lights up like its the end of the world.

Peers into thread. Notices hyperlinked text walls. Casually exits.

And totally misses the cutoff man.

I will say there is a tendency at times (and this thread is a good example) for a cross-section of folks to talk baseball basics (let's call it high school and below taught) and incorrectly apply it to MLB analysis in a definitive manner. A lot of what you learn carries through to upper-level ball. A lot changes, sometimes significantly, as the capabilities of the players and the speed of the game ramp up.

Of course. And not having played at the major league level. Anything I might know is hearsay evidence.

I don't think you need high level playing experience to talk about this stuff at all (in case my point gets misconstrued). But we should all examine ourselves if our views become dogmatic based on imperfect comparative experiences.
