Yes the...I don't think Hal cares about winning. Yes the two go hand in hand in the Bronx but he made over $500 million last year with a $200 million payroll and a pretty terrible team. He cares about being mediocre enough to make the money, and he's succeeding. <br /><br />Like I said, Didi looks more like he is trying to do too much and less like an idiot. He wants to make every play that is hit to him and throws and rushes throws when he should pocket the ball. He wants to take the extra base or steal the big base late in the game. The plays were dumb but I don't think he's dumb personally. Just what my eyes tell me, they can deceive.

Trying to steal third, and taking to big of a turn around first on a ball already in the infield. I don't know if it's trying too hard or low baseball iq. Time will tell I guess. The only defense I can offer him is so far it doesn't matter. Yankee offense is still nonexistent. Runners on second and third with nobody out and they can't even get a run in with the heart of the order up. Pretty hard to watch that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687487174545518045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-89925601104631880872015-04-10T12:03:30.124-04:002015-04-10T12:03:30.124-04:00I worry a great deal about him and base running is...I worry a great deal about him and base running is instinctive along with baseball smarts. He has shown to me he has neither. Kids playing little league no you don't make the first or third out at third base and what is worse yet is we were down be numerous runs. You have no reason to go to third unless its a pass ball. Base hit scores you anyway.

He doesn't understand the dynamics of winning, he thinks he understands the finances of winning and they don't always go hand and hand. I still want an owner like Cuban who wants to win.
