OT: Beisbol playoffs

[TheGreatYacht]

Carlos Boozer: Breaks hand answering the door at his home.
Amar'e: Breaks hand punching fire extinguisher in locker room.
Grant Hill: Tears knee ligament in layup line.
Greg Oden: Stands up while watching tv, fractures knee.
Charles Barkley: Burns a layer of cornea off with lotion during Eric Clapton concert.
Derrick Rose: Cuts arm with apple knife while in bed. . .and not even using the knife
Lionel Simmons: Gets tendonitis playing too many video games, misses 2 weeks.
Dirk Nowitzki: Sprains ankle putting shoe on.
Paul Pierce: Wheelchair.

etc. The list goes on tbh. Any sport has dumb stories like that

Damn it K

I'm neutral here, definitely lean more towards soccer as a pure sport, but mp just destroyed the thread..

OMG, is that true? That sounds totally made up and like a joke.

Stickball isn't as much a sport as it is just a game of skill like Chess, checkers, Esports, etc.

Stickball isn't as much a sport as it is just a game of skill like Chess, checkers, Esports, etc.

That's soccer, tbh. The greatest athlete ever seen in soccer (Ronaldo) has athletic stats that are subpar by American sports standards, baseball included. Like most soccer players, he excels through his skill rather than athleticism. Yes, he does beat a lot of his opponents through his superior athletic ability, only because the "athletes" he's playing against are such .

When two midgets are the 1 and 2 best players of all time (Maradona, Messi), you know you have a skill game first, sport second.

Povertyball
The best "athlete" in the game runs a 4.7 40 and has a 31" vertical
Povertyball fans are in "awe" of that
Fat baseball players run faster
Povertyball fans will always riot after a match, win or lose
"Chant" throughout the entire game to entertain themselves from boredom as another 0-0 tie seems likely
Literal midgets are the best players of all-time
Most players look like crackheads with frail, sunken in bodies (see your avi)
"It's a game of stamina!" 85 minutes are spent lightly jogging, walking, or standing
Biting each other
Throwing themselves to the grass like they've been shot by a sniper
Sticking fingers up each other's asshole

still more exciting than a 10-9 beisbol game

Because there is still more action in a 0-0 soccer game than in a 10-9 Snoozeball game

Lorenzo Cain is more athletic than any divegrass player that has ever played that "sport." As is Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, Yasiel Puig, Bo Jackson, Vince Coleman, Deion Sanders, Ken Griffey Jr. etc, etc, the list goes on to hundreds. In fact, that little guy on the Rangers, Odor, was reaching 21 mph on the basepaths yesterday, faster than Ronaldo's top speed.

Check out Trout's box jump. Ungodly:



As a contrast, this video evaluating Cristiano Ronaldo's athleticism was particularly funny:



A 17" no step vertical and 31" inch one step vertical

And at the way the narrator spoke about his 31" vert with such awe. That's the kind of "athleticism" that impresses povertyball fans.

More:

Ronaldo's 25 meter (82 feet) sprint time:

3.6 seconds.



Unathletic baseball player Dee Gordon's time running all 4 bases (90 feet apart, and which requires turning):

13.89 seconds, when divided by 4, equals 3.4 seconds per basepath.

Gordon ran .2 seconds faster, while having to travel an additional 8 feet.

Edit:

Fastest single time recorded this year for a run from home to first base:



And why do divegrass fans always go on about stamina? Firstly, 80 minutes of the game, players are lightly jogging, walking, or standing around. It's not like they're in a dead sprint 100% of the time. Secondly, stamina is the easiest thing to train up of all athletic attributes. Much harder to train up explosiveness and endurance (taking continuous body contact).

To demonstrate this point, think when you've played basketball? What was more fatiguing? Banging in the post or jogging/running around on the perimeter? The answer in obviously the former.

"Fat" American athletes easily run that time.

\

Oh, Fatty Prince Fielder that povertyball fans love posting pics of ran the 60 yard dash in 6.8 seconds, meaning 3.4 seconds per 30 yards. Obviously, you gain speed in the latter yards, so we can put Fielder's 30yd time at around 3.6-3.7, which is still faster than Ronaldo's 25m time.

Lightweight, shredded divegrass players with 3% body fat can't run faster than Prince Fielder.
"B-But their stamina!"

1) You are comparing Ronaldo's athletic stats (who for all we know isn't the fastest futbol player nor the one that jumps the highest, tbh) to the best atheltic marks recored in other sports.

2) You are nitpicking the atheltic traits you want to make your argument.

3) You are bringing up specific players. So the exception, not the norm. You can be an unathletic old fart fatso and still be a baseball superstar, you don't have a chance of making a carrer as a profesionall futbol player if you are not above average in pretty much every athletic trait there is.

4) You are bringing up players from other sports when this is a baseball thread.

5) None of those things you said negates the fact that baseball is a boring old ass sport that is only going to get less and less popular with time.

The endurance thing is enough to debate soccer as a sport, I figure. Stickball is all skill, though.

So defensive. lol

People who dont like Baseball are doing the same thing in this very thread. Nitpicking players who are on the heavy side to make their case.

I dont agree that just any fatass can come into the major leagues and become proffesional. Do you know just how hard it is to make it there to begin with?

These guys start out when they're 10 years old.

You could argue and say that it's easier for Baseball players (Moreso pitchers) to let themselves go abit more because they run in stints and bursts.

But in general I do agree that an athlete should be in shape if he's playing a pro sport. But it doesn't really bother me if he's not Mr. 6 pack.

Literally only because it's cheap, takes little effort to play, and is a pussified excuse for a "sport," so third-world countries and lazy Eurocucks alike are drawn to it.

OMFG
