Not a shining moment for BP.

Another reason I dislike the over-emphasis on stats. Different approaches at the 2 hole and 4 hole. Is OBP important, absolutely. However, changes in the batting order are necessary for multiple reasons. Nothing he accomplished in the 4 hole says he can or can't do anything in the 2 hole. Heck, most have been begging him to be in the 2 hole.

Seeing how the last couple of games before tonight played out I'm not really too surprised. Definitely not a good look for any professional athlete and not something I like to see out of BP but I'm not sure I'm in a place to judge with out hearing the context of everything that took place.

Agreed. However, BP was way out of line.

I don't think there was any context missing. Looked like Dusty was having his meeting with the press and BP came in and lit into CTrent for his tweet.

Totally agree. He has to be more professional.

I did laugh when after BP said "Now I know your twitter name" CTrent said "took you long enough."

That was really the only problem. You can confront them but can't make it personal.

That was nothing more than a shot at CTrent. Like, "NOW you're relevant."

Phillips way out of line.

 

However C Trent is a fat clown who annoys the crap out of me. We call him Darth Vader for having to hear his constantly out of breath mess on the radio when he's on. Its terrible.

That's why I can't really speculate. If I know it's going to really make the guy angry then I will go for the low blows, off camera of course.

I'm glad that he's got some fire in him. He shouldn't have called him a fat gluteus maximus. Other than that I don't have a problem with it. When your job is to criticize someone for a living you have to expect it might happen sometime.

Got rid of signage

Only warning here men, let's lose the signage for profanity to circumvent the word filter. I've deleted my last one.

On the other hand if you're going to bask in the fanfare you can certainly take a tweet that says your OBP isn't that high. That was hardly a cheapshot.

Hard telling, maybe he slept on a soft mattress last night. I hear that can really put you in a bind.
