[QUOTE="jacketjp, post: 759880, member: 949"] I was being sarcastic. It was a rhetorical question. Apparently a baseball comparison is acceptable but a basketball comparison is wildly incorrect. Good grief. Part 1 of why this is a horrible comparison: It completely misses the point. Wells had demonstrated no issues in the game, but in practice. Of course if he had gone multiple games with terrible performance, he should have been replaced. Wells was 50 for 50 in games and he was benched without missing a kick. My point has been that kicking is a mental game, much like pitching or shooting, and performance in practice does not translate directly to in game performance, and vice versa. Part 2: "Level of praise" is completely inconsequential. Part 3: This is all completely, wildly, factually incorrect. The only part that is correct is that he won his first game. He went on to start five more games (started six games total) to begin the 2001 season. He had 5 wild pitches TOTAL through those 6 games (24 innings pitched). Then he was sent down. Part 4: He was throwing wild pitches IN GAMES, and they continued to let him start. This completely undermines your point and supports mine. The Cardinals gave him an opportunity on the field to try to figure it out. He couldn't, so they sent him down. [/QUOTE]
