For a 27 year old career minor leaguer that has sucked terribly in his limited Major League opportunities until before this season, you'd think he would be smarter about his behavior.

I mean.....he is 27 years old and spent the last 2 seasons in the Majors, and part of the previous season as well. Not sure how that's considered a career minor leaguer.

Id call 564 minor league innings over 6 years a decent minor league stint.

The point is hes been crap in the bigs until the first half of 2019. Maybe wait until you've established more consistent value before you sprint into the opposing dugout throwing punches.

That's a dumb take. Only established players have the right to fight?

No team that is RH hitting dominant as a chance against Houston. I think the only team that would have a fighters chance would be the Dodgers with all their left handed bats. I agree with Rubs... Houston over LA in 6 or 7.

Alot of people and zoners in particular hate on sports like baseball and boxing because they've never played and don't really know what goes down on the inside of the game, behind the scenes.
Case in point ,KC catcher disagrees with the 2-0 fastball call from the dugout but has to initiate it anyways because he has to know his role.

What does a catcher "knowing his role" have to do with zoners hating baseball. LOL This is a ridiculous post. I know plenty of people who never played the game that love baseball and also know many that played the game in college that dont watch.

As for boxing, I think the people who dont like it see it as barbaric and dont want to support a sport where people can get killed inside the ring.

Both sports get portrayed and labeled as ," boring,". I don't want to mention any names, but "Beisbol " as some here call it , gets heavy flack.

There are a ton of unsaid rules and depth into the game that a broadcast mostly doesn't get into.

Bull Durham and For the Love of the Game are great movies that capture sone of the inside fixtures of baseball.
