I get the feeling you use the same criteria to rank rappers as you do basketball players

Inb4 the games are fun to go to. Doesn't matter soccer matches live blow that away.

If you have never played baseball then it'll be hard to grasp how hard it actually is to play.

In terms of both sports there are a lot of baseball players that are unhealthy and honestly all you need is a good throwing arm/hitting arm. This is why I dont consider baseball a difficult sport,
I'm not saying all soccer players are in shape, but I can argue that the majority are and have to be to play soccer.

Yup, it's very important in baseball to have a good hitting arm. This post doesn't even deserve a rebuttal. :lol:

Dude should see how pitchers look and feel like after practice. They put enough ice on their arms to freeze a bowl of water.

My point is basically which sport requires more athleticism.
What do you think Slav?

Post #370 » by **Slava** » Fri Aug 9, 2013 3:08 am

Ofcourse soccer does but baseball is not a slugfest either. You need incredible amounts of concentration, smarts and consistency to be a pitcher and great bursts of speed for a batter. Also a position like short stop is as athletically demanding and requires reflexes like any position in soccer.

all the breaks gives people time to mess around with statistics, which are king in baseball

during the breaks in soccer matches i assume you have to try not to get beat up by crazy soccer fans

i don't think the difficulty level has anything to do with being in shape

not entirely anyway, or i don't think that's what ty was getting at

hermes arguing about sports. Never thought I'd see the day.

There are plenty of super star soccer players who couldn't react fast enough to avoid getting hit by a MLB pitch, much less swing a bat and connect with it...

Pretty sure every baseball player could kick a soccer ball... Just saying.

EArl · Post #377 » by **EArl** » Fri Aug 9, 2013 4:27 am

So a soccer player can't throw a baseball or use a bat? :lol:

Post #378 » by **Kilroy** » Fri Aug 9, 2013 4:32 am

Half of them would throw the bat and swing the ball...
