As some one pointed out a few days ago. Granderson struck out 4 times the other day, but was not booed. Not sure how that works.

Any ideas on the formula for booing proven professionals?

(for the record, I have had the negative enforcement style bosses, more than once. “So you won the pitch? Let’s see if you can deliver the goods.” “You lost? That’s why you’ll never get that raise.”)

Well, no, but he doesn’t scream and cheer me wildly and wave a sign with my number on it when I land a big deal, either.
Ya takes yer boos cuz ya takes yer hurrahs.

(Not that I’m actually in a “land a big deal” line of work at all; just playing along.)

Who the fuck are these people? Do they get screamed at every time they spill milk or misplace their keys? (BTW, my wife pulls that shit on me, which is why I would never do it to someone else.)

If you win 9 new business pitches in a row, then lose out on the next one, does your boss go ape shit and tear you a new asshole?

I’ve directed narrators in the studio who get stuck on a line and keep making the same mistake like 5 times in a row. These are real pros, mind you. What’s the solution? Laugh about it. “No worries, let’s move on and come back to it.” Not: You stupid shit, can’t even get one line (one hit, one out) right?”

Here are the official rules for booing your home town team.

1. Lots of errors in a game. Genuine sloppy play.
2. Any player who appears not to be making an honest effort, such as not running out a pop up or infield grounder or loafing in the field.
3. Manager takes out a pitcher who is pitching well (binder managing).
4. Manager leaves a struggling pitcher in too long (this gets the derisive cheer, when manager actually makes move)
5. Fielders arguing with an ump during a live play
6. Nick Swisher bunts

That’s it. Please post this on the Stadium walls.

Although, I shouldn’t complain, because run production has been a bright spot for the offense.

It’s not like to need more base runners to leave on.

On pace for 20+ homers?!

This is why I wish they’d change the rules in awarding wins. Andy deserves the win for this much more than Logan does.

Now it’s time for the soapbox. The nonsensical jumping onto home plate to complete a walkoff home run has to stop. Morales missed a season and a half for the Angels, and now Martin practically gets hurt. None of the bases, not to mention home plate, are meant to be jumped on as if the runner were bungee jumping. Enough already. If you have to celebrate the home run, do it by high-fiving, low-fiving, fist-bumping, but enough with the leaps onto home plate! Jeez.

And really tough CHANGE-UP by Clippard to strike Dustin P out to end the Sox game.

The pitch they argued was outside on the “Amica Pitch Zone” but on the black according to Pitch f/X.
