That's fine, your entitled to your opinion. Personally, I am a big Cruz fan. I am disapointed in his mistake but I can forgive him and he really does seem like a genuine guy overall. At least when the hammer came down he was honest, that's more than you can say for a lot of guys. Also, the fact remains this whole thing has tainted his market value some too, so he would be cheap.


I can't be a fan of Cruz's cause of the St Louis World Series. Every time I see the reply I'm more convinced an average high school outfielder catches that ball if his nuts aren't in his throat.

Do you hate Darren Oliver, Scott Feldman, Mark Lowe, and Derek Holland too?

what part of average high school outfielder did you not understand Abner?
So you dislike a guy for one play he didn't make. That's entirely unreasonable. An average high school outfielder is probably not that athletic, so no clue what ridiculous point you are trying to make.

That's a silly reason not to like like him... but there are tons of other fans that agree with you. By the way that was no easy play to make.

opinions vary and I'm glad you got this opportunity here to flex your opinions.

I didn't say I hated him....just not a fan.

You want a report on all the other reason's why I don't care for Cruz's game?

I am willing to use stronger language and say it's a stupid reason not to like him.

you go to the wall...it's a pretty easy play. The ball over his head has always given him problems and you know Pettis has hit many balls.

Can't really blame that on Cruz though. Cardinals gave us another chance to win and we blew it

Team sport and we lost the series for many reasons. I just know we win if Cruz doesn't have his nuts in his throat. Reminds me if the young player begging the ball isn't hit to him.

This team. It's a team sport and the Rangers are my baseball team.
I'm all about team and tend to follow the rules, so perhaps you and I don't share much in common
Yeah, I am not a self righteous asshole. You are right about that one.

Going back on a line drive to your throwing arm side near a wall at a stadium you don't play in much nor have a feel for is actually a pretty tough play. If it had been a routine play he would have been given an error.

I respect your opinions but he didn't touch the ball....he stabbed at it and it was on his glove side. No way there is an error given on that play but, IMO the ball shoulda been caught
