Reddick
« on: October 22, 2017, 08:17:43 am »
I hadn't paid attention to Reddick's struggles in LA.  Nice article, both for focusing on Reddick and it's use of the video clips.  Sounds like Reddick will take some grief in Chavez Ravine, a la Gomez.

wow. How can you not like Reddick?  The fans have enough knowledge to accept players for who they are.

Great article. I cannot imagine booing a home team player.

Only time I recall an Astro getting booed was Jimy Williams. Not a great moment and glad its not part of Houston fan culture.

There were relievers booed from time to time during the Wilderness Years.

glad I missed that.

I remember back in the dome a couple of Braves relievers got up and started to get ready along the third base line. Some guys started to heckle them, but someone with the Astros (don't remember who) told them to cut it out. One of the relievers had come up in the Astros system (hey, he used to be one of our guys). But I thought it was classy that he said something. Let Yankee fans, (and apparently Dodger fans) be classless idiots.

Some visiting players invite being heckled (like Beltran for stringing the Astros along in the 2004 off-season) but most (like Judge) don't.

Wasn't Dierker booed for pitching around Bonds in '01?

I wouldn't say anything Beltran did invited booing. Fans are just shitheads.

I hope Reddick drops a MF'n soup bone on these guys. I hope he gets to hear his footfalls as he rounds the bases at Dodger Stadium.

Beltran did not do that.

Jay Powell was booed multiple times in the early 00s.
