Woo Woo Woo, You Know It: GAMETIME

That's Infante's fault. Please trade him, already.

Uh, what. How is that the player backpedaling's fault?

[Ramp]

because Erick doesn't like him

[Bobbob1313]

Ding ding dongo!

[Erick]

It's not as if Stanton didn't call for the ball. It's the outfielder's ball, outfielder called for it, infielder's supposed to get the fuck out of the way.

And I don't like him because he sucks.

[MiamiHomer]

You really are the worst, damn.

[Erick]

He's one of the worst 2B in baseball.

[Bobbob1313]

Criticizing his defense is stupid.

[CrimsonCane]

Dan Uggla has been worse.

[Erick]

Criticizing his defense is stupid.

I'm criticizing one specific play, and saying I don't like him because he sucks, overall, as a player. His above average defense doesn't make up for his putrid offense.

Dan Uggla has been worse.

That's really the only thing people say whenever I say Infante sucks.

1. Who cares? Whoopty-doo, Infante's been better than the worst.
2. Dan Uggla won't be worse for long.

And one bad play doesn't erase a season's worth of very good defense. Criticizing him for one bad play defensively makes you look stupid and petty.

You're a fucking broken record. Give it a rest. It's like you decide to hit one point and just hammer away at it for a week until something else makes you angry.

Well, Uggla was the person whom Infante replaced so the comparison is definitely valid.

And, we only have Infante for a season, so his suckiness is a lot more tolerable than worse-than-Infante production coming from a guy with a $48 million contract.

His defense was amazing at the beginning of the year, and has regressed (at least in terms of UZR) recently. His defense is good, but it's also been rather overrated.

As a fan, I'm going to criticize a player playing on my favorite team who's been one of the very worst at his position. It's what fans do.

[MiamiHomer]

It's what *dumb* fans do.

That's assuming that the front office doesn't bring Infante back. Hopefully it's just a stopgap, and they're not infatuated with Rich Waltz' daily fielding % numbers.

We should give him more compliments instead.
