How can you say neither is difficult when the best players in history only succeed 30% of the time and Home runs maybe 10%?

Exactly what celebrations have you so upset?

level of difficulty/success is relative in mlb. matters on expectations. if you hit 50 hrs but only bat .265....youre a success.

if you only hit 5 hrs but have 200 hits youre a success.

every celebration that takes place before sept is pretty useless unless its a legit accomplishment.

if you were a manager and your guys are celebrating in april-july, and you asked them ''what are you guys celebrating ?''
what answer would be acceptable for you ?!?!?!?

yeah, that last paragraph, doe..........

No manager is gonna tell his guys not to be happy about scoring or winning in April. This is ******ed thinking. “Why is that guy so happy he did something only the best ever can do less than 10% of the time they’re up to bat?” I’m going to sleep bro

''dude, why are you celebrating ?!?!''
''i touched home plate ''

yeah.....no one ever does that

youd think teams like the marlins, padres, mariners, rockies, braves, knicks, nets, browns, bucs....would learn a thing about celebrations

basically every manager played at or near a high level, even the losers need to keep moral high, its a long season. if you cant be happy unless you make the playoffs thered be alot of depressed players

Anyone know how to say Bambino in Japanese.

[HanzGruber]

Gotta go with Houston...they've improved their pitching staff, which is incredible.
Yanks have pitching and injury issues.
Otani is definitely the real deal...first guy since Babe Freaking Ruth 100 years ago to
pitch a winner and hit a homer in the same week!

Dodgers could repeat but Arizona and Washington look good as well.

yea im gonna roll with houston, boston is my second choice

[Lomadeaux]

lad finally gets that ring.

what i dont get is players celebrating in april.....looks absolutely ******ed when theres only 150 more games to go

When you miss the playoffs by one game... you’ll wish you took that game in April seriously.
