Red Sox pitchers drank beer during games

When the Red Sox drank beer all the time and won championships, that was their "chemistry", now it's the cause of their demise. How stupid.

 

There is a difference between celebration and goofing off while co-workers are going through an epic collapse.

 

I think its ok to be loose on the bench. It's quite another to abandon teammates to drink and play video games while their comrades are drowning.

There's all kinds of positives to having that attitude. I just thought that was a pretty inappropriate time for it.

So when is an appropriate time for that? It really doesn't matter when Prince does that as I prefer the team being loose than playing tight like you are suggesting they should be remember in baseball you can't have fun at all no matter what. You are losing in a playoff game you better not smile because hey you have to be serious 100% of the time there is no fun in baseball!

Not the 9th inning of a playoff game. And I'm not suggesting that they "play tight". I'm suggesting that they take the 9th inning of a playoff game when they're down 1 run seriously.

 

But thanks for putting a whole bunch of words in my mouth.

 

For the record, I don't think it's a huge deal. Just a mild annoyance.

 

I had the exact opposite feeling. When the Brewers are losing, especially in a big ballgame, I get down in the dumps, angry, frustrated - completely pessimistic and expecting to lose.

 

To see Fielder being able to laugh and goof around in the dugout at the end of Game 3 made me more confident that the Brewers would turn it around, because it helped me realize that the players are way better at dealing with the bad times than I am. They totally trust in themselves. I would prefer that they keep doing exactly what they're doing and have fun, no matter when this season ends.

I am pretty sure they were drinking beer during games before. It's just not the cause of the collapse. They quit hitting well that month, too. This is typical Boston media stuff in my opinion.
