Yea I knew about Jocketty in Cincy just wasn't sure if there was a connection in Anaheim as well. I can't blame them for trying to replicate the "Cardinal Way". It has been pretty successful here recently. Which I'm not one bit opposed to.
I like it. He has passion for the game and benefiting the team. Tossing the bat on a sac fly is just awesome.
It is also a good way to get the next man in the order drilled by a 95+ mph fastball. Passion for the game is one thing but I wouldn't call the way he plays the game passionate.
As a general observer fan, he is awesome. All the umwritten rule stuff is just dumb. Why put someone on base and help the other team just because a guy gets under your skin. Seems to me, you are making him a double winner.
I wouldn't say the unwritten rule stuff is dumb. Each sport has a way of policing itself and that is one of the ways baseball does. Gomez is just too cocky for me. I just spend the weekend watching him play my Cardinals and the guy would "pimp" catching a damn fly ball to center. I just don't get it.
