I don't complain about guys in slumps....Dallas<br /><br />I don't complain about guys in slumps. That happens to just about everyone. You knew Murphy was gonna hit.<br />I don't complain about a guy booting a ball. It happens. I do complain when someone is getting paid MLB money and doesn't feel like running to 1st and giving the other team an extra out. If your hitting .400 and that continues you need to be sent packing. It's a bad example for the younger players. Seeing 40 year olds going all out to first when they hit a routine grounder to 2nd base is priceless. Seeing a 28 year old 2nd basement watching the opponent run to 1st when he has half that distance to run is worthless.<br />Herrera would have contributed to both games.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-52716284858338681022015-04-27T23:56:21.938-04:002015-04-27T23:56:21.938-04:00Who do we bitch about next so that they play well?...Who do we bitch about next so that they play well?

Physical errors happen. Mental errors mean your head is not in the game (forgetting how many outs there are). Although Muno has looked pretty bad in his limited chances, let him have a start at 3B today.
