Best excuses for bad performance

^^^^ HAHAHAHAHAHA.

i like this one, he said this in a toruny down in omaha:

"Everyone is trying to change my swing, thats why i can't hit"

he stuck out and he came back to the dugout blaming his teamates. we were giving him helpful tips such as keep u r head in, or use ur top hand nothing like major. we all laughed.

Best excuse for a poor performance

"I listened to Dibble"

Good one, Tom!!!!!!!

Dibble ...we did have a pitcher that would really overeat if you did not watch him.

Most common excuses :
#1- That mound sucks.
#2- That guy is throwing too slow.
#3- The infield is terrible.
#4- My bat is dead.
#5- The lights are right in your eyes here.
#6- I got a bad jump.
#7- Ive felt bad all day.
#8- The umpires strike zone sucks.
#9- I thought he called the ball.
#10-The pitcher balked.

this one catcher claimed he could not hit because all the pitchers were conspiring against him to make him look bad

How bout the old saying, " It's only the fielder who missed the ball who complains about bad hops"

A coach long time ago said to us an excuse is like your ****&^%$ everybody has one and they all stink. Of course this is when coaches could say such things without the make everybody feel good about themself even though they screwed up mentality of today set in. Then you have the player who prefaces everything with "If". You know if the ball did not take a bad hop or If the sun did not get in my eyes etc etc. "If the queen had ^&%$## she would be the king.

I've heard this one too - tell him not to listen

From an Outfielder-

"It must have got caught in a jet stream"

Again going back to my playing days. One of our players came off the field and said "the ball took a bad hop" our coach replied "anybody can catch the good hops"

Once had a first baseman in a noon game in Florida have a groundball go through his legs. He came back to the dugout after the inning and said "I lost it in the sun."

one dad said my son was a great ball player then he got a girlfriend and has not hit since
