Lay the reasons down on us so i know what to tell him to stop him from doing it! haha
It's been ingrained into me that we don't verbalize the obvious. Think about it. He just went down swinging. He knows it, his teamates know it, the defense knows it, and if the fans are paying any kind of attention they know it too. I also feel there is an element of showing the player up when he goes down swinging.

This is like screaming "foul ball" when a ball is hit straight back over the backstop. It's kind of a pointless exercise.


Tim.
