The only defense here, and it is kind of flimsy.

Long learned habits are very hard to break. This is how guys learned to play. Now that most are multi-millionaires, it is that more impactful when they get hurt, however they get hurt.

It does not change the fact that it is hard to un-learn things.

He was actually giving me hope that he'd have a good offensive season.


I don't get it. I think it actually slows you down compared to just running it out.

Especially considering there have been plenty of studies that show sliding into first is SLOWER than running to the base.

It makes you look grittier.

Yeah, I think that a saw a ESPN Sport Science segment that showed that sliding into first gets you there slower.

any time josh gets hurt it doesn't bother me one bit. the idiot got hurt sliding into home head first a couple yrs ago and blamed his 3rd base coach for the injury. he might be off the drugs but still a lowlife imo.
