D*mn It!!!!! Reason #437 why I hate the Braves and Scrum.

Epi -----I know I am asking for trouble with the Baseball Gods but the excitement of the start of the season is boiling over. I can never control myself the week before and the Baseball Gods have promised me a week of pardon. Well, not the baseball gods but Mickey Morandini said it is ok which is close enough.

I'll go you one better. Two teammates once did it playing for a last place team....the Cubs. The pitcher was Rick Sutcliffe. THINK the player was Andre Dawson.

Hahahahah last place Cubs......hahahahahaha

Sutcliffe and Sandberg did win Cy and MVP in 84. Dawson won his MVP in 87 (Bedrosian won Cy that year).

Carpenter and Pujols also did it for StL in 05.

      No doubt.  I was at the game watching it and it looked like a fly ball to the infield.  It got in the air and just hung up.  XL tracked it like a shortstop.

      You need to go outside and get some fresh air.

      Sorry, I don't get the "mental" thing at all. If his football IQ was as low as you say it is, then he wouldn't be out there blocking as well as he is.  It is quite possible that he's been pressing due to not really being in the flow of the game because Bryce doesn't look for him on the regular. His strength, at the moment, seems to be as a mismatch in the slot on crossers and slants in my opinion,and for whatever reason (maybe height) Bryce is more likely going to chuck it to the sidelines. So, in a sense, maybe Legette and Bryce aren't a good pairing, and that gives the appearance that Legette is not all there. Lord knows that Bryce doesn't seem to be able to hit receivers in stride so they can maximize YAC. But anyway...all that being said, I thought that X would be more than just a possession type of guy. So we'll see where it goes from here. I'm not like some, who appear not to see the value in a guy who can kill you like that, and kill you just as well as guys that do their best work on the outside, but, X is going to have to be able to consistently hands-catch on the run and separate better at the top of the route if he really wants to unlock his potential as an all-around receiver. If Bryce could consistently and accurately hit receivers, especially in seams on the slants and crossers, it would open up Legette and the offense. Just my opinion, but I think he causes all the receivers to press to varying degrees, and causes the coaches to call plays that have built-in limitations, but I could be wrong about that.
