So, When Amarri Graduates...

[kastofsna]

yeah he's not good and he's a detriment to the team in multiple ways.

[TheBullies]

I already miss TJ.

and the snowball keeps rolling downhill......

[bulls96go]

the kid isn't that good, get over it

But he is that skilled, that's what kills everyone.  Amarri has more athletic ability in his left pinky than I do in my entire body.  With his build and skills he should be a stud.  But alas...

sad but true.

he has the ability to dominate and except for the 2005 UL game...awol (or pretty close) he does block down field well

[RHBullsFan]

I've only been hard on Amarri because I expect a lot out of him. He is a leader on this team and is capable of much more than he is showing. If we didn't like him and his ability, we wouldn't be on him so much, we'd ignore him. The fact that he hasn't made more of his abilities is what makes us al so frustrated. Trust me, nobody on this board wants to see Amarri go out like this. We all WANT him to play like he can and should. Some are just growing tired of waiting.

None of those guys will be scapegoats if they play hard team-first ball

Playing hard, team-first ball does not eliminate one from being a scapegoat (see Julmiste, Pat). It's all about production. As expectations rise, so does the proliferation of Sunday morning quarterbacks who have all the "cures" to what ails our football team. After Amarri is gone, the odds are pretty good that someone will take his place as a target if we aren't playing near perfect football..... It just goes with the territory.

Except he doesn't block downfield all that well

I guess that I imagined a couple of blocks which freed up a runner.

Who will be the new "bullspen scapegoat"?

Bogan? Hester? Ford?

I challenge everyone to go at least one week without bashing Amarri. The KID only has 6 games left as a Bull, how about we try and support him just a little. If you refuse to see that he is a playmaker, and at the very least, draws a lot of coverage from the defense, please hold it in for a week, and you can tell us all about it next week.

thats out the door
