June 16, 200521 yr i dont know why everyone is bashing encarnacion, maybe he is a lil bit laid back, but thats his style of play, and he has his up and sowns just like very other ball player 811652[/snapback] blocking a sacred cow for some from playing time (JC) 811683[/snapback] or the other cow JDub :mischief
June 16, 200521 yr thats 1 game, and those are going to be the few errors that hes gonna make this season, and i would take enc defence over conines any day, just my opiniion
June 16, 200521 yr yeah but have u seen the defense that encarnacion plays and the two run homerun today???????? 811677[/snapback] have you seen his D? it sucks so far this year 811723[/snapback] yeah and what was that catch that he made in right field the other day that he flipped over????? dumbass and look at the cannon he has i would take him over pierre anyday playing center.
June 16, 200521 yr thats 1 game, and those are going to be the few errors that hes gonna make this season, and i would take enc defence over conines any day, just my opiniion 811734[/snapback] Im not even talking about yesterday
June 16, 200521 yr Let's bench Delgado too, Lenny Harris needs to play regurlarly. Also, Alex isn't cutting it right now so let's put in Easley. Vargas to the rotation to start for Burnett, his start today was unacceptable.

Not the best example to try to make your case with.

Not the best example to try to make your case with. 811749[/snapback] Name another game out of the 63 played that he made an error. 811753[/snapback] He drifts and misplays a ton of balls, but that doesn't get you charged with an error. I know I've said "God damn it Juan" a whole lot this year, and those misplays against the Braves in Atlanta (and the inside the park three run home run) spring to mind.

When you give a half-assed effort you don't get an error. I can stand in one spot for 162 games and never move and never get an error charged to me and be killing my team defensively.
June 16, 200521 yr You guys do realize Conine can't run and Pierre is gonna have to do a lot of work for him in right center correct?

You don't get charged an error for doing nothing.
June 16, 200521 yr You guys do realize Conine can't run and Pierre is gonna have to do a lot of work for him in right center correct? 811766[/snapback] So you're saying the choice is between can't run and won't run.

June 16, 200521 yr How is it not true? You don't get charged an error for doing nothing. 811769[/snapback] You need a lesson in how the game is played, I suggest you attend a Little League game and maybe one of them can school you. The rules of baseball are quite clear, "When a fielder misplays a ball hit at him, which under normal circumstances would result in an out, it shall be ruled an error." Not attempting to make a play is the same as attempting to make a play and misplaying it. For example, an outfielder loses a ball in the sun. He doesn't move. The ball falls next to him. He is charged with an error. Before you post here again I suggest you endeavor to try and understand the game. From what I can tell it may take you years before we hear from you again.
June 16, 200521 yr So much hate in this thread against members. What gives Maverick and Marlins2003 the right to criticize? 811862[/snapback] Funny, Maverick usually criticizes me

Errors are largely a judgement call by the official scorer. I'd like to introduce you to the concept of hyperbole, as well, which is a literary form that uses heavy exaggeration to make a point. You'll find it discussed in most middle schools throughout America. I would encourage you to go pass sixth grade English before resorting to ad hominem attacks that merely display your ignorance.
June 16, 200521 yr Actually scorers often gives errors for balls lost in the sun, especially in games where a no-hitter is on the line. The history of baseball is littered with such events. As for attacks, you're crudeness is as unwelcome as your error-prone posts.

As for attacks, you're crudeness is as unwelcome as your error-prone posts. 811956[/snapback] So now you've gone from saying it's an error to saying it's often an error. The fact is, it's a judgment call by the scorer. The example cited of an outfielder not moving for 162 games was clearly hyperbole and not to be taken literally. I'm sorry you are unable to grasp this basic point. It's also laughable to see you whine about crudeness after you brought this on with your needlessly snotty remarks. You don't want crudeness? Make your arguments on its merits instead of trying to cloud the issue with juvenile attempts at intimidation. The fact that you had to resort to trying to insult someone you know nothing about shows how thin your original position was. If you want to learn more about what constitutes an error, feel free to check out baseball-almanac.com. You'll notice right at the top of the section headed "Errors": NOTE (1) Slow handling of the ball which does not involve mechanical misplay shall not be construed as an error. This is the point any number of us have been trying to get across. You don't have to be credited with an error to be hurting your team with lackadasicial defense.
