They don't have a single nice thing to say about Manny. Instead they consistently trash him, talking about him being overrated, not hustling. Never a mention of him winning MVP of the World Series, or his monstrous production, or his 17 game post season hitting streak (a major league record). The management team comes off as petty, arrogant and oblivious to what actually wins games: great players.
If you want to start searching the record books, you first have to throw out the 2 errors. He doesn't get credit for reaching base safely in those instances. So that makes him 16 out of 19, which is a fantastic stretch but not exactly going to rewrite the record books.PonyExpress said:By my accounts he has been at the plate 19 times in this series against the yankees. He has 8 hits, 8 walks, and reached base on 2 errors. That amounts to 18 times on base out of 19 times up in a 5 game stretch. This has got to be an all-time record. Absolutely incredible.
Manny went to the plate 20 times in 5 straight games and made ONE out. Errors don't change that fact.QuiGon said:If you want to start searching the record books, you first have to throw out the 2 errors. He doesn't get credit for reaching base safely in those instances.
