Patético, así el manager de los Rangers, el último de los managers de la MLB en portarse como niño chiquito

No sé si lo han notado, pero algunos managers de la MLB realmente pueden comportarse como niños chiquitos cuando las cosas no salen como ellos querían. No sé si es porque son hombres hechos y derechos utilizando uniformes que realmente no deberían …

No sé si lo han notado, pero algunos managers de la MLB realmente pueden comportarse como niños chiquitos cuando las cosas no salen como ellos querían. No sé si es porque son hombres hechos y derechos utilizando uniformes que realmente no deberían usar, pero algo está haciendo que , últimamente, algunos managers se comporten verdaderamente inmaduros.

El mes pasado, el skipper de los Padres, Bob Melvin, se enojó mucho cuando los Giants siguieron jugando beisbol de la forma correcta a pesar de que llevaban una gran ventaja. Melvin se molestó porque estaban robándose las bases y bateando con toques de bola en un partido que se seguía jugando, algo que la verdad fue completamente infantil y muy tonto enojarse por eso. Si no puedes frenar al otro equipo de que te siga ganando es culpa tuya y de tu equipo. No les toca a ellos dejar de intentarlo simplemente porque se sintieron mal por ti, no puedes ser así de bobo, Sr. Melvin. Te viste muy mal.

Hablando de verse mal….

Ayer tuvimos a otro manager actuando de forma infantil, pero en esta ocasión fue una completa idiotez. El manager de los Rangers Chris Woodward estaba súper dolido después de que su equipo perdiera contra los Yankees y culpó al homerun de salida de Gleyber Torres. Él dijo: “Esa es algo fácil de hacer en el 99% de los estadios de beisbol… tuvo la suerte de conectarlo en un estadio de ligas pequeñas y de mandarlo al campo derecho”.

¿¡Puede ser más triste!?

No puedes ser un entrenador profesional de un deporte profesional y decir cosas patéticas después de perder. Simplemente no se puede. Todo el respeto que pierdes por tan solo decir algo como esto es apabullante. ¿Echarle la culpa al tamaño de un estadio por un homerun? ¡Fuera de aquí con esas cosas!

Ah, e internet fue muy rápido en resaltar algo: el homerun de Gleyber viajó 369 pies y hubiera sido un homerun en 26 de los 30 estadios de la MLB.

Así que nada de esto te hizo quedar bien, Sr. Woodward.

No debería sorprendernos que Woodward sea tan bobo, sobre todo porque recuerden que el año pasado se enojó cuando la estrella de los Padres, Fernando Tatis Jr., tuvo la osadía de anotar un grand slam en un picheo 3-0 cuando San Diego iba ganando 14-3 en la octava entrada.

A nadie sorprendió que Woodward, después de ese homerun, sacara a colación las “reglas no escritas” porque obvio lo tenía que hacer.

Entendemos que perder partidos puede ser difícil, especialmente cuando pierdes uno con un homerun de salida, pero hay mejores formas de manejar esas derrotas que lloriquear sobre las dimensiones del campo.

Eso es simplemente patético.

Y vergonzoso.

Rangers manager Chris Woodward is the latest MLB manager to act like a big baby

This was pathetic.

This is the online version of our daily newsletter, The Morning WinSubscribe to get irreverent and incisive sports stories, delivered to your mailbox every morning.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed this or not but some MLB managers really can act like big babies when things don’t go their way. I don’t know if it’s because they’re grown men wearing uniforms that they don’t really need to wear but something is leading some managers to act really immaturely.

Last month Padres skipper Bob Melvin got all mad when the Giants kept playing baseball the right way even though they had a big lead. Melvin got upset that they were stealing bases and laying down bunts in a game that was still going on, which was a childish way to act and a dumb thing to get upset about. It’s on you and your team if you can stop the other team from beating you. It’s not on them to stop trying because they feel bad for you. You can’t be that lame, Mr. Melvin. It’s a bad look.

Speaking of bad looks….

Yesterday we had another manager acting in a childish way and this one was an all-timer in idiocy. Rangers manager Chris Woodward was really salty after his team lost to the Yankees and he blamed Gleyber Torres’ walk-off home run to right field on Yankee Stadium, saying – “That’s an easy out in 99% of ballparks. … He just happened to hit it in a Little League ballpark to right field.”

How. Sad. Is. That!?

You can’t be a professional manager in a professional sport and say pathetic things like that after a loss. Just can’t happen. The amount of respect you lose for uttering something like that is just astronomical. Blaming a walk-off homer on the ballpark? Get outta here with that!

Oh, and the internet was quick to point something out – Gleyber’s home run traveled 369 feet and would have been a home run in 26 of the 30 MLB parks.

So yeah, none of this makes you look good, Mr. Woodward.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that Woodward would be so lame about this because he got upset last year when Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. had the gall to hit a grand slam on a 3-0 pitch when San Diego was leading 14-3 in the eighth inning.

Woodward, to the surprise of nobody, brought up “unwritten rules” after that home run, because of course he did.

I get that losing games can be difficult, especially when you lose one on a walk-off home run. But there are better ways to handle those losses than whining about field dimensions.

That’s just so pathetic.

And embarrassing.

Quick hits: Announcer’s tremendous Kentucky Derby call… Curry and Poole use a square dancing move to get open… Incredible UFC KO photos… And more. 

– Larry Collmus’ call on NBC of the final stretch of the Kentucky Derby was absolutely incredible and gives me chills every time I rewatch it, which has happened very often since Saturday.

– Remember square dancing in gym class? Well, Steph Curry and Jordan Poole used one of those moves to get open during Game 3 and fans were in awe.

– Michael Chandler’s brutal KO of Tony Ferguson at UFC 274 led to some incredible photos.

– Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner pulled off an incredibly smooth slide into home plate and MLB fans loved it.

Rangers manager wrongly blamed Gleyber Torres’ walk-off HR on the Yankees’ ‘Little League ballpark’

It was a HR in 26 of 30 ballparks.

The New York Yankees took Game 1 of Sunday’s doubleheader with the Texas Rangers, 2-1, in dramatic fashion. And in the process, Rangers manager Chris Woodward managed to get himself crushed by Yankees fans.

It’s no secret across baseball that the right-field wall to Yankee Stadium is notoriously short. It’s been that way since the stadium opened, and left-handed betters absolutely feast on that short porch. It’s how Anthony Rizzo made history earlier this season with the least powerful three-homer game of the Statcast era. Everyone knows about it.

But in Gleyber Torres’ case, it was probably a bit unfair to dismiss his heroics as merely a gift from Yankee Stadium.

With the score tied in the bottom of the ninth, Torres took a 3-1 sinker the opposite way for a walk-off home run over that right-field wall. Now, I can understand the frustration about a ton of Yankee Stadium home runs. But Woodward probably should have at least looked at the measurements before calling Torres’ home run an “easy out in 99 percent of ballparks.”

Torres’ home run went 369 feet at 106.5 mph off the bat. It would have been a home run in 26 of the 30 MLB ballparks — not an out in 99 percent of ballparks. So, as much as Woodward didn’t want to blame John King for allowing the home run, his pitcher just has to execute better next time. It wasn’t the stadium’s fault. Both teams played there.

Just to be sure, though, Giancarlo Stanton hit a 461-foot home run in Game 2.

Yankees fans, of course, had plenty of “Little League park” jokes after those remarks.
