I guess I hit a nerve when I listed my pet peeves at baseball games earlier this week. My podcast buddy Steve would like to add a few of his own to the list.
1) Any MLB player who cannot execute a bunt.
Give me a break! This is a fundamental skill that should be learned in Little League. If a big leaguer can't bunt, the skill should be worked on with that player over & over again until he can - period.
Steve, I agree. It's embarassing to see how bad the technique is on some players. A bunt, especially in the American League, is only called for at a critical point in the game. Lack of proper execution can be the difference between a win & a loss.
2) No more camera close-ups on players spitting out tobacco juice. Enough said.
Again, I agree. These cameramen kill me. Before you know it they will be in the clubhouse filming guys getting dressed. How about those wonderful & exciting in-game interviews with the managers! Useless.
That concludes our 2nd installment of pet peeves. Feel free to chime in anytime.
