Forgive me, please. I don't do this often,
But when you do its a thing of beauty.
So do I have this right? When you don't get a lot of offensive points, it's the players fault, but when you do it's attributed to your genius? [/b][/quote]I don't know what your question has to do with my "whine", but yeah, that's pretty much sort of correct.
If a hitter is, let's say, 10-20 with 5 homers lifetime against a pitcher at Coors field, and goes out and has a good day against that pitcher, I wouldn't say I was a "genius" for picking him, but study and research does pay off.
On the other hand, same scenario, but the hitter goes 0-4 with no additional extraneous factors to consider (hitter in a slump, pitcher is hot, etc), it's certainly the hitter's fault, not my fault for picking him.
