Why doesn’t this team steal more bases?

Don’t you know It’s actually spelled “Pre-Madonna”.

 

 

😂

 

It always cracks me up so much when people incorrectly write “Pre-Madonna” and think it’s correct. Like I wonder what they’re thinking.. if someone is acting like a diva they are acting like the way you would describe someone acted before the material girl herself got famous and acted like that but there wasn’t a way to describe that attitude before Madonna was around. 😂

Exactly, this is a baseball team. Not a petting zoo. Skip should not have to tend to Jazz pet donkey on top of all his managerial duties.

Nah, I've been top of my game since I got here. It's your sense of humor that is finally coming around.

100,000% disagree. He shouldn't ride the fucking bench.

 

He should sit on the regular bench. Don't reward him with the fucking bench!

SUPPOSABLY.

Seriously, you need to earn the respects and not think it’s for granted because of your talent. Too many talented players but only a few of them would be the real STAR.

A prima donna who's barely played this season but fancies himself as an all-star that can't be bothered put in some effort by merely RUNNING?! 

You don't hustle you ride the fucking bench. Period. 

Mattingly tried this and the FO wasn’t having it.

It’s 2023 and some people still believe MLB isn’t scandalous in anyway.

Every record has basically been broken since the 2000 & up.  You don’t think they juice the base balls or soften them either I guess.

Mattingly double-switched Jazz out of a game in the 4th inning unnecessarily. I don't think it was hustle related.

We ended up losing that game [of course] with Pablo Lopez having to pinch hit in the 9th as the tying run.

I remember reading an article on the Zac Gallen trade for Jazz, that Arizona didn’t like his primadonna attitude.

In that same vein, Jazz came over and one of the first things he mentioned was "this team lets me be me" so ya know we may have a problem here. lol.

 

It's fun stuff, man. Fun ......... stuff.

Right, I could be wrong, but I thought Jazz & Don had prior confrontations weeks before that double switched call which leads me to think that Don seen something in Jazz (attitude or style) that didn’t sit well.    Yeah maybe the double switch was a horrible game decision, but I’m not buying it.

Good memory you have.

Maybe the league doesn’t want an extreme amount of evidence against their decision to widen the bases.  Some teams or perhaps the whole league could be under league restraint for prosperity of the game or the hope that bigger bases will become longevity for the sport.

So far, this year the stolen base success rate is above 80%. However, the attempts are only 0.3 higher per team than last year.   With an 80% + success rate, it should make us question why isn’t teams attempting more steals.    

 

Not all teams have true base stealers, though too.

I love flashy cocky players on my team as long as they produce. The problem with Jazz is that his play doesn't warrant his attitude.

Yea Jazz needs to tone it down... especially because he can be great. Gotta get there first. His home run celebration is now annoying me because it's too long and drawn out and choreographed. Players used to have organic home run trots, they did whatever felt right at the moment. But Jazz has a preplanned routine which is noticeable because he does the exact same motions right before each base. It's silly. I'm ok with a celebratory fist pump or whatever motion the moment the ball goes over the wall and then do something as you arrive at home, no need for a routine as you reach each base.

It goes beyond that. It's just flat out not caring enough to run hard - the one skill even non baseball players could excel at....just running up the line...

Yeah, while we hate Acuna and his antics (I'm sure Braves fans love it), at least he produces to back up the attitude.

Jazz is doing the antics without the production - and being on the cover of MLB the Show only added to that.

Give me good to great production over a full season (i.e. not injured half the year), and then we can start talking....
