Watch Those Knee-Jerk Reactions
It seems to me that just about every time a Dodger player has a bad play, bad game, bad inning, bad pitch, error, blunder or just a mistake, some fans have this automatic knee jerk reaction which often involves one of the following:
Get rid of the bum
Send him back to the minors
Make him a reliever
He has no business starting
He can’t play that position
He should never hit in that spot
Of course, they seldom say anything when that same player does something good. There are several cases in point, namely Joc Pederson, Kike Hernandez, Chris Taylor, Kenley Jansen, Dustin May, Clayton Kershaw, Corey Seager, and Hyun-jin Ryu.
