I'm not a Brave's fan but I wouldn't go so far as calling it a sin to listen to them play.

 

Anyway, the Cardinals won their opening game of the season with no score pitching and a solo home run by the greatest catcher in baseball, Yadier Molina!

I have every button on my car radio pre-set to our local FBN affiliate...except one.  I'll admit that I occasionally fall into sin and listen to a Braves' game. 

 

The Braves are evil.

I know a handful of far left wacko liberals who think the Braves are evil...and every other sports team that have "racist" names. :icon_rolleyes:

Like the Cleveland, Indians John?  We call them the Tribe.  We have been blasted from all corners of the USA for being racist.

I haven't been caught up in Indians baseball since the mid nineties.  The tribe came alive in 1995, and that was it.  I don't waste my time anymore on Cleveland, OH sports.  Our management with all of our sports teams is very poor.

I hope you understand I was being sarcastic, John, seeing that the Braves are the Phillies divisional rival.

OK - I just watched it through, and there are so many bits of bad science and wrong assumptions that it would take ages to point it all out.

Let's start with the fact that you have a top level baseballer against a nOBody cricketer.
Sorry to say, but the US national team would be beaten by many club sides over here.
Any number of top Aussie batsmen would have got a better strike rate than that bloke.
Second, the same cricketer was bowling. They mentioned the speed of the pitches, but not the bowling. I guarantee that bloke bowls no faster than 60mph - he is a medium pacer at best.
Put your batter up against a real fast bowler and watch him struggle.
Or a good swing bowler.
Or a decent spin bowler.

A good eye goes a long way for any bat sport, so your bloke should do fine.

I actually like baseball and am not bad at it, but that video is so wrong on so many points.

Don't try to use science to prove your point. :lol:

I'll watch that later. ;)

But know this - I can hit a baseball, but I was never much good at batting in cricket.
And I reckon I could you bowl you out inside three overs. ;)

I reckon I'd smash your grasshopper ball out of the stadium after I strike you out with my forkball.

Of course. Always excuses. You got your excuses from the comments section. At least try to be original.

 

Mark Reynolds is the strike out king. I mean that literally too. He holds the record for most strikeouts in a single season breaking the previous record which he owned. Yet he had no prOBlem hitting the grasshopper ball.

I want to root for the team with noone taking steroids...are there any of those left?

Yes, all of them. You won't find too much steroids in baseball anymore. Go to football for that.

Even if that is true it's too late for me. I struggle watching or even hearing about, a bunch of guys whining about how their $10 million dollar annual salary just isn't enough when all they are doing is playing a game. Then they leave the ballpark and a good many actively live out Romans 1:21 - 32. Nope, I have pretty much lost interest in all sports because of the greed and character of the participants. They will not get any of my hard earned money and they are certainly not the people I want my children to emulate, so why bother.

 

Even college football (and I used to be a BIG fan). About the only teams I follow anymore are the service academys, and there are even issues there.
