"He caught a ball! Jerry he caught a ball!!! Bah gawd he caught it!!"

It's a shame that such an athletic "machine" has to waste all that physical ability on a bunch of dirt sliding, standing around, spitting and crotch grabbing, tbh.![]()
I'd kill myself..
This video is a laugh. The "awe" with which the Yuro commentator speaks when he cites Ronaldo's "impressive" 30" running vertical
That is simply a pathetic mark for a lean and shredded at 170lb "world class" athlete who is supposed to have an super explosive lower body.
Meanwhile, Mike Trout is 230lb and:
He's jumping on at least a 60" platform there. The unofficial box jump world record is 64".
"Haha, I bet Trout isn't faster than Ronaldo!"
Ronaldo: 25m (82 feet) sprint time, performed in ideal lab conditions: 3.31
Trout: Thanks to some fancy technology from FOX, we know it took Trout only 6.8 seconds to score from second base.
That's covering a total of 180 feet while making turn. And the fastest base runners can cover 90 feet in ~3.00 seconds.
Povertyball "athletes."
Mid teeing off on those povertyball gots like Barry Bonds in his prime.![]()
Honestly, soccer is the biggest waste of athleticism and skill for individual players. I watched that ty World Cup final in anticipation of your boy Messi doing something great, and he did nothing. Like I said, the low scoring nature of the game doesn't really allow for much. That's why most soccer mixtapes for individual players feature dribbling. Who gives a about a nutmeg or a deke that just results in a turnover or a shot that sails 40 feet wide of the goal? But I understand why those highlights are popular since soccer fans are starved for something interesting![]()
Fastest recorded soccer player in game: 21.87 mph
Mike Trout reached 21.15 mph here:

Relative size:
Antonio Valencia: 5'11", 172lb.
Trout: 6'2" 230lb.
And here's Billy Hamilton reaching 22.8mphAnd it's not even a dead sprint since he has to track the ball.

I love me some ting on povertyball.
Expect pictures of Bartolo Colon and Prince Fielder spammed now![]()
Other team's players being dumb enough to not get control of a ing ball before you run all the bases being the most "exciting" play on baseball.
Sorry, but there's just no debate to be had. The game of baseball ('cause it's not a sport) is just way too basic and static to be able to produce this kind of skill and artistry, tbh.
If baseball is not a sport then how come its players are more athletic than soccer players
Like I said last time. Take the top 100 baseball players and pit them against the top 100 soccer players in a decathlon, and the baseball players would convincingly destroy the soccer squad.
It if you prefer soccer aesthetically, no problem with that, but baseball takes the same amount of dedication to honing skills as does soccer. Scientifically speaking, it shouldn't even be possible to a hit baseball travelling 90+ mph per human reaction time (the brain literally has to model the path of the ball mid flight and predict the end location. The great hitters use spin to better predict here, and learning that takes a lifetime. And then there's the whole issue of needing a mechanically great swing) . You've never played, so I understand, but if I put you in batting cage throwing 95 mph fastballs, you wouldn't even be able to see the ball, much less hit it. You would just see a quick flash.
And on the defensive side, balls can have an exit velocity of up to 120mph. Yeah, if it's so easy and non-sporting, go catch it.
Imagine a compe ive sport that values "walks", obese men & tobacco.![]()
trying to convince anyone that the average baseball player is more athletic than the average football player.
I don't have time (or desire) to go through all that long mind numbing discussion again but lol son, just lol.![]()
Smart move since I convincingly defeated you last time.
Your error is thinking Bartolo Colon and such are average players. They are not. They are highly specialized players. It's like judging all soccer players on the tall and big physiques of goalies.
Dude, you could be the greatest debater or reality bender of all time and you would still find it impossible to defeat anyone on such a ridiculous idea like baseball players being more athletic than soccer players.![]()
vs.
They're like 60 years old and still good enough to make the English national team![]()
English NT isn't quite like Babe "GOAT" Ruth or the Yankees, your futbol knowledge is embarrassing.
Babe Ruth was so fat that the Yankees added the pinstripes to make him look slimmer:
