He said a saying about the grandmothers: “Grace, more than once, is a heaviness.”
And in a heaviness the increasingly frequent practice of using position players such as launchers in matches of Major Leagueswhen the marker has completely uneven.
For once, he has his grace. But when it becomes a custom, it becomes a lack of respect for fans who have paid their tickets and spent hundreds of dollars of consumption in the stadium.
It is understood that the season is long and the managers need to preserve their reliefs, especially in these times when the openers barely consume five innings and leave the rest of the game in the hands of the bullpen.
But leaving a Catcher – as happened this Wednesday in the Miami Marlins game against the Cleveland Guardians, simply because the game went from a single side in favor of the Floridans, it is a depressing show.
First, it denotes defeatism. The director of the disadvantaged team gives the encounter, despite the fact that, as the great philosopher of baseball said, Yogi Berra“The game does not end, until it ends.”
It will not be the first, nor the last time in which a team under the board for eight or nine races, releasing the score and gets an epic victory, of those that remain for the story.
But with this practice, the towel is simply being thrown before the last out falls.
Dave RobertsManager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, is the leader at using position players in a function for which they are not trained, and every time he looks lost, he sends the Lomita to the Puerto Rican infielder Kike Hernández, who has already launched nine times between 2024 and the current campaign.
The great Cuban actor Carlos Cruz, fervent fan of the Marlins, enjoyed the beating that the Miami team gave Cleveland 13 races for four on Wednesday, but at the same time, he lamented when the leader of the Guardians took the veteran receiver Austin Hedges.
“What is this mockery of the people who pay their, by the way, well expensive tickets, so that they put anywhere to launch? Baseball has become a circus. In the end, the poor see the millionaires play,” said the artist.
Time of the Misericordia rule?
It would be better for the commissioner Rob Manfredwho has introduced during his mandate a series of absurd rules that are killing the essence of the game, impose the so -called knockout baseball, which decrees the triumph of a team when it reaches the seventh inning with an advantage of ten or more races.
Thus we would avoid these clown that in no way help the good performance of the show.
Fans, who are, at the end of the day, who maintain players’ megonearies, deserve more respect.
