I like hershieser, but I can't really stand Nomar. He's on the radio so I don't hear him often, but I feel Nomar is a bit too boring.
Uh...he strikes out most of the time? That's really probably not fair, but he is just a shadow of his former self. How long can you give him to "round himself into feeling comfortble at the plate" shape? September maybe? Or feeling comfortable anywhere...I sure hope if he does come back (somebody has to play LF, right?, and he makes huge money notwithstanding), his head is screwed on straight. Looks very wobbly to me. It's his own fault, and you can't blame DBB for doing what had to be done. Not getting to a fly ball because it's over your head or out of your reach is one thing; but overrunning it with the ball landing behind you is quite another. Without being facetious, I wonder if they have checked his eyesight at all. Maybe his periphal vision is messed up. It sure looks like it sometimes with the routes he takes to balls. He's way too much of an investment to let any possiblities slide by. Y'know, like an arm on a once devestating pitcher who can't throw over 85 MPH when you sign him...
Mattingly isn't benching Matt, Matt is essentially benching himself by being stubborn I tend to think the situation went something like this Don - "Matt, management wants you in LF" Matt - "fuck outta here" 5 days later Don - "Matt, management wants you in LF" This coincides with Donnies statement saying he's ready to play Matt in left when Matt tell him he's ready
