WTF? Didn't look like it hit him.
I think he means the pressure of being paid so highly and having to be one of the best (top 2) position players.
outside of rare exceptions (like the Ramirezes Hanley and Manny) no major league player is ever 'dogging' it
So...we're stuck with this Werth, is what you're saying??? Because none of the reasons why he's "pressured" are going to change.
I kind of felt like Clemens fell into the slacker category

All those throws over to first and then he just lets him run at will. All because of an 0-2 HBP. woeful
Who knows? But outside of rare exceptions (like the Ramirezes Hanley and Manny) no major league player is ever 'dogging' it,
Nope, he'll learn to deal with it, and be fine. Not $126M fine, maybe not even 2010 fine, but a better-than-avg RF, who is a legit 5 or 6 hitter on a playoff team.
add the Uptons to the list. Tonight, it was Justin.
Who knows? But outside of rare exceptions (like the Ramirezes Hanley and Manny) no major league player is ever 'dogging' it, especially one in a slump, doubly especially one who just signed a massive contract with a lot of concomitant pressue, and trebly especially one like Werth with a well-documented history of hustling and busting his ass. Werth is doing poorly, that is beyond dispute. But the reasons for it have nothing to do with a lack of desire or complacency on his part.
