Was hoping for an early-season slump to make Rangers fans less cocky.

Are there any teams that don't fill the space between every half inning with an adorable child running the bases/dot race/possible-jailbait ballgirls dancing on the dugout/etc.? The game experience at the Ballpark in Arlington is bordering on torture.

Partially Brad Penny's "fault" for being too lazy and/or dumb failing to cover the plate on a shallow pop-up in foul territory.
― Andy K, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 01:41 (fourteen years ago)
(Though sliding head-first [in the first inning, facing Brad Penny, with Nelson Cruz on deck] isn't all that intelligent, either.)

Hamilton actually agreed with that in real time and publicly criticized his third base coach over it after the game (“I was like, ‘Dude, I don’t want to do this. Something’s going to happen.’ But I listened to my coach”). Throwing the base coach under the bus like that didn’t reflect particularly well on Hamilton, but what reflects worse on Hamilton is going along with the bad call anyway.
― Andy K, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 15:17 (fourteen years ago)
i'd say throwing him under the bus is the no-no here.

he was gleefully sliding head first across infield tarp during a monsoon in baltimore the other night so he should really just stfu

uggh yeah blaming the coach really soured me on the guy, it wasn't really that bad of a call there
― frogbs, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 18:09 (fourteen years ago)
as andy pointed out it was a stupid idea purely from a strategic baseball standpoint but if josh hamilton can't slide into a base headfirst w/o breaking his arm then he shouldn't be sliding into bases head first & that's purely on him
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 13 April 2011 18:12 (fourteen years ago)

Karl Ravech: What was stupid about the play?
Bobby Valentine: Well, it was the first inning and it was taking a chance with your best player and he did dive headfirst and it was a way of avoiding the slide and he knew that he shouldn't go and he did go, you know? And you know, there's indiscretion in this guy's life, he was stupid earlier and because of that, he can't take drugs now to help cure this injury and heal this injury. And that might have been dumb on everyone's part because, my gosh, it's the first inning, he's the MVP. They're scoring runs better than anybody in the league, you have to tag up on a fly ball in front of the dugout?

This dude is insufferable.
"Maybe I should be a wimp and not play the game the way I know how to play it."Hamilton is also frustrated because his latest injury will also lead to people questioning how he plays the game."That's like beating a dead horse," Hamilton said. "How else would I play? I don't want to be a wimp. It's becoming a pain in my rear, playing hard and getting questioned about it."I could understand if I was pulling things like hamstrings. But I'm getting hurt on high-intensity plays, getting hurt on plays like hitting the walls. I'm making the plays the game asks me to make."

“To add insult to injury, I was extremely sick last night,” Hamilton said. “A sinus infection, I think.”
