Blog for rayweaver: SB Nation

Let me preface this by saying that I am a fan of the Rays. Not just the team as a whole, but the individuals that make up the team. I support each player, and I want to see each player perform well and to the best of their ability. I want them to be successful in all that they do on the field because their individual successes can lead to the team's success. If a player is not successful, I'm not the guy who is going to come unglued and spew negative comments aimed at him. I'm not above being pissed at poor performance, but constantly being negative towards specific players or the manager is pointless, unless of course you enjoy the negativity. I see people at games do this all the time, and I just don't get it. Why do they even bother going to the games if all they end up doing is getting pissed off at every mistake a player makes? If a guy repeatedly fails in one fashion or another, the team will deal with him accordingly. They don't need or care for the fans input. That being said, I have a couple of questions and some commentary on the recent posts regarding BJ specifically. I'm not foolish enough to think I'm going to change anyone's mind regarding Maddon's decisions regarding BJ or the double standard or BJ's performance, but maybe some will at least think objectively about this post.

I understand that it's not the same atmosphere as being in an open-air park, but we live in Florida. There are tradeoffs.
