There are some that really suck as competitors. There is no lack of talent. When you have a choker in an important position it hurts your teams appearance from other teams perspective. They see Broxton giving it up, and see the Dodgers tolerate that. Other teams see that as weakness(as merciful.) You can't be seen as having any mercy. Each time a player goes to face a pitcher, it's war. If they know they can beat you later in the game, then they aren't so scared if you hit them early in the game. You've made the opposing pitcher just a bit more at ease. For instance, during those World Series winning years for the Yanks, opposing pitchers surely feared getting hit early, because God forbide you try to come back late on Rivera. So, what happens is Meyers sees that woman Broxton give it up on Sunday night, and goes to the mound Monday Night knowing if he gives up a few runs, then he still may be o.k., because the Dodgers are weak closing his boys out right now. Torre is too butt ignorant to understand the intimidation factor involved here. That's a tea drinka(a fkn tea drinka.) That's one of the reasons he keeps get'n a-s-s kicked early in the playoffs. Other teams pitchers think the Yank hitters are scared that they may not hit, and they work that fear for all it's worth. He doesn't understand this part of the game. That's why this a-s-s gun stick with this woman (Broxton.)
