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 everything, but you damn well better control the things you can.

Im mocking the guy that think jogging to first vs. sprinting is an indication of a character flaw over someone choking another person.

I hope your son doesn't attempt to play 162 baseball games.

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 so he repeats his mistakes less frequently.

question.. if Harper sprinted to first, could he have made it to second if fielder dropped the ball? who knows.. did Harper run to first fast enough so that Fielder couldn't throw him out if he dropped the ball.. yes I would say so.

so conclusion. if he ran fast enough to make it to first in case of error, but no matter how fast he ran he wouldn't make it any further, who is to say he didn't hustle but just ran.. I never saw him actually running.. he paused for a moment at home as a reaction to a poor swing.. but did any camera catch how fast or slow he actual ran to first. every one says he jogged to first but are those words used to explain what happened or what really happened.. just looking at this from a different perspective..
 
I guess you'll also want to teach your kid this move:

Hey, Ted Williams flipped off the fans. Babe Ruth physically attacked them. Every generation of players "disrespects" the game in a way that offends previous generations. Ken Griffey Jr. used to cause all kinds of apoplexy by wearing his cap backwards during BP. He retired as a paragon of the baseball virtues, a symbol of the good guys. His father probably offended so-called purists by wearing his uniform pants too tight or, you know, by being black.

Times change.

according to CJ, the men who play(ed) the game agree with me.

I'm cool that the video game GMs don't.

that's MY move. I take it all back. #PapelbonSucks

And, if i read you correctly, it's essentially "we're swirling down the toilet, sh!t's real. deal with it."

I simply asked if you have seen video of Harper actually running to first.. the pause at home I remember, but I don't remember ever seeing him run.. So how fast or slow did he get down the line? you can assume how I feel about the situation and make smart ass remarks, but that question still stands, have you seen actual video of him running to first.. I am sure it exists...

Yeah, I guess we are. If you think that wearing your uniform baggy/tight/cap backwards/conforming-to-current-fashion-and-offending-your-elders is a sign of impending apocalypse, I guess.

No, I'm saying that today's ballers are no less noble and virtuous than the players of the 70s, 50s, 30s, or 1890s. Which is to say, not noble and virtuous at all. Just highly skilled and flawed human beings. And that every generation says the same about their successors. I mean, you know that and whatnot, but big ups on the trollery.

first of all, thank you for noticing.
Second, sincerely, we shouldn't be accepting of that fact that we're all ****-ups. It should bother us enough to hold ourselves and each other to higher standards.

That can't be THAT outrageous a statement, can it?
