Announcer praises him for staying healthy in a meaningless situation. Legit, or should you hustle on every play?

Not a big deal


Are you going to criticize a dude for not contesting an in-your-face dunk when they are down 20 in the 4th?

Depends, could he have caught it?

Little league, you hustle.

Making millions and up 14-1 doesn’t risk blowing a shoulder. Tie game, sure but not 14-1

Anyone that disagrees can fight me.

I’d have to see the play and how legitimate a chance of making the play he had.

No big deal. I dove playing Kan Jam on Saturday and I regretted it last couple days.

Little league World Series semifinals up 14-1, teach little Cason not to dive. No need to get hurt.

Imagine calling yourself an athlete when you can’t dive without getting hurt

Legit
very legit

This is analytics at work and you'll have a healthy guy when the situations and games matter most

We're smarter now than the guys who'd expect all out game 7 effort in a 14-1 game in July

Legit.

Hell even if it's a tie game, it'd still just be one game out of 162.

Make it Mike Trout and tell me how much risk of injury would you want him to take fielding a fly ball

Once you are in the big league, you dont dive in a situation like that. Your body is your livelihood and you cant risk it up that much in a meaningless July game.

Now, if you are still trying to make a major league team, or it's a pennant race/playoff game with a closer score...you better get dirty for it.
