Cann DID NOT put the pitchers in because he thought they were better hitters than Rooker or Mangum or Stovall or whoever the hell else. He put them in to make a mother 17in point dude. The point was to tighten their shit up and play ball like you know how, or I will replace your ass with someone that will give me everything they got and leave it all on the mother 17in field. Thats it... No onethrew anyone under the bus by taking the boys out of the game. No one said they couldnt hit and said the pitchers were better hitters. He plainly said give me 110% effort, or I will find someone who will... Thats it.. no more or no less... You keep coming up with these god awful summaries about how he or we think pitchers can hit better than people we have hitting. No one said that. NOT ONE DAMN PERSON! NOT ONE DAMN PERSON... and no, I doubt we will ever see Pilk or Price with a bat in there hands again. And no, he prolly wouldnt have done it on the wknd. As I also dont think the guys would have come out that flat on a wknd game. They came out flat as shit with a I dont give a rats ass attitude. Cann said, Uh no lil homies, this shit aint happening... So he started benching people. What I think and really hope is that Cann is telling the guys you will play at a certain level every game, everyday while you are wearing that jersey. Plain and simple. Thats not too much to ask. If you have an off day and make a couple errors or arent seeing the ball very well, so be it. It happens. Even to All Americans like Rooker and Mangum and hell Im sure that kid McKay from the Ville who will most likely be the #1 pick has an off day every once in awhile. What he was saying is if you have an off day, you better well be having an off day while hustling your ass off and TRYING to make plays. Our guys werent, so he found people who would.
Oh and as far as your Gordon comment above as to why he didnt get to play and we all said he could smash.... HE can smash... The only problem is he either smashes it 450 ft or smashes the dang gnats over the plate while the ball goes past him. He has been given his chance with the bat and has showed he is better used on the mound. You bring him in, it really donest make the point. Cann wanted to make a clear cut point, by SAYNG IT DOESNT MATTER WHO I HAVE TO USE, WHETHER IT BE MY ALL SEC ACE OR MY NATIONAL LEADING AND SOON TO BE ALL SEC CLOSER, I WILL REPLACE YOUR ASS IN THE LINE UP... I dont really know how much more clear I can make it. Usually at this point I stop the argument with my daughter and make her go to her room... Dont really know how I can make that happen right here...
