We've got multiple people acting like Guthrie was somehow negligent for failing to "pound the strike zone" after he sat while the O's batted around and sent 10 guys to the plate. Then, when it's pointed out that that's what happened, and going back to the mound is like coming into the game without warming up, somebody else says that he did have a chance to warm-up, which is complete BS. They don't get to warm up. They get 8 measly pitches, that's it. So, not only do we have ignorance of the situation, we also have ignorance of the rules, combined with an overwhelming desire to say dumb things about Guthrie being somehow incompetent. Meanwhile, the record shows that after Guts was able to get back in a rhythm, he's back to doing fine. So, IMO, we have massive displays of basic ignorance about baseball.

Hank's one of the best posters around. It's not ignorance. It's aggravation more than anything. If we hadn't had our you-know-whats handed to us by Boston for the last four seasons, including some heart breaking blown lead games, that inning probably would not have caused the amount of complaining that it did.
