You're just mad because he tackles better then anyone on Mizzou Defence ;)
Ummm no. It's part of the Latin flair these guys bring with them to the game. Part of it makes the game fun part of it is :censored2: :censored2: like this.


In my few years of college ball there were probably 5 bench clearing events. A Latin was the instigator in every one.

If you don't understand the Latin baseball players bring a certain flair to the game (yes that's how it's often refered to) then you don't watch baseball.
The flair has nothing to do with clearing benches. I've seen every nationality start it. Keep playing that card though. You probably warmed up the bench pretty good for those Latin players.:happy2:

Of course everyone does it to an extent. It's the emotions these guys wear on their sleeves though. Can't keep it under control. I was a catcher and talked non stop :censored2: to the Latin players hitting because it was so easy to get in their heads and make them overly emotional. Once I'm in your head I have the advantage. You're no longer thinking about baseball if you're thinking about how bad you want to punch me

I'm a huge cardinals fan but Molina is one of the worst. Dude is always flipping out and trying to start stuff over minor incidents.

The white boys wear their emotions just the same. Bryce is one that comes to mind. Great player but he can be a little :censored2: in many games.

Oh and I started 2 years in one of the best juco conferences in the country.

Hit .365 as a freshman and .295 as a sophomore. If I had went to class and had a GPA above 1.5 I would have for sure had 4 year offers.

Yeah if you were that good you would have had multiple offers regardless.:happy2:

I needed at least a full year of really good grades to even have a chance at getting accepted to a 4. No one recruits you if you don't qualify academically for their school. That ain't rocket science.

I could hit that was never an issue. Went 1-2 with a bomb off a kid that threw 97 and was drafted in the 4th round out of juco. Went 3-3 in high school off a kid drafted straight out of high school and started for the blue jays for a few years. Faced many pitchers that went on to play D1 and had success against most.


I'm also aware of my limitations. I'm slower than snot. I had reached the end of defensive catching abilities. Never could get my pop time sub 2 seconds. That wasn't gonna cut it at the next level.



Also while those were SOLID numbers they aren't insane. Hitting .360 in juco is not hitting .360 in the league. I was probably 15-20 in the conference with that average.
