1. It IS a character indicator 2. I don't know what you're saying, unless you're saying that my son would also grow weary of doing the right thing in every instance. In which case, I assure you he will because we all do. But, when he inevitably does, I hope someone cares enough to kick his ass...

Your new America, Americans. We may have once ruled the world, but now it's too much to ask that we sprint 90 feet when paid millions to do so.

Step 1. Mock the guy arguing that character counts and defending the notion that "you should always hustle". Step 2. Drown in mediocrity You've got your plan, it seems. As for me, I don't want my son growing up with the idea that there are meaningless moments in life. You can't control...

If he doesn't run out fly balls, he should be choked. Literally or metaphorically.

It should bother you more than it seems to. Of all 750 MLBers (before expanded rosters on 9/1), you think there are 4 with the level of hustle and respect to run out a routine play. That's horrible news for baseball and everything else.

If you're cool with mediocrity, that's what it is. I can't convince you to have pride.

only the ones with the best character.

got it. if in need of allies, don't call Gilesfan. he prefers vanity to loyalty. PS - upton had it coming too

Eh, it translates. You live the same way you play. Harper told me a thing or two about himself. When it doesn't matter to him, he's not going to give 100%. I think that's sad for such a supremely talented kid.

the rules may be "unwritten" but they're not "unknown".

it seems like you answered your own question here. Character counts.

I'm not even 40 yet, but all you punk kids are pissing me off

i know next to nothing about Papelbon. Maybe he's the worst guy ever (except for Bryce. Bryce is the worst). But I've got no problem choking everyone who refuses to hustle. Think about it... you're getting paid, at minimum, hundreds of thousands of dollars to play a game. the very least you...

Ah, the "Dude A isn't an completely perfect representation of the ideal, so we discard anything Dude B can learn from him" post. Juvenile. You must've gone to the Bryce Harper school of message boarding. You didn't even try. No effort. Somebody choke this punk so he learns to post the right way.

Exactly. Me too. Not Bryce. He doesn't run. Or that Machado guy.

you're referring to what's commonly referred to - with good reason - as "The Good Ole Days." He should've been pissed. In the "Good Old Days" if one of your teammates went to war, you went with him - ESPECIALLY if he was doing it in defense of the team (in this case, dude admired his homer...

#TeamUnwrittenRules #TeamPapelbon Millennials are screwing everything up. They lack class and character. They're entitled assholes. Have some respect for the men who've gone before you and paved the way for you to make butt-tons of money playing a game.

I QUIT THIS BOARD. YOU'RE SUCH A SARCASTIC A$$! sorry. I just saw it yesterday.

Minor League Where he will no doubt regain his form and hit 275 homeruns against us. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/12/nats-notes-zimmermann-second-base-moore-giolito.html also, his middle name...

That reminds me......
