    14:26 This is the most important takeaway from this discussion and is why the rise of independent media is such a BFD. 20 years ago, ESPN was basically your only option for sports coverage. MLB Network aside, the amount of channels like Foul Territory offer fans a lot of choices. And ESPN has struggled to retain viewers because they aren't adapting. I'm shocked Skip Bayless is still a thing. Stephen always had a thing for catchy soundbytes, so no surprise he's hanging around.
    I WILL say I think AJ is cut from a similar cloth as Stephen A Smith, but he balances his loose tongue with honesty and great analysis. Loved him as a player, am thrilled to see him thriving as an analyst on here.

    Stephan A is a sports media personality of a very specific era. I'm thinking the 90's to 00's sports talk radio type personality who is loud, kind of angry, and highly opinionated. It's all an act meant to get attention. It's sports talk click-bait from before the social media era. He's mainly a basketball guy. That's his sport. He knows basketball very well but even then you can't take anything he takes seriously. It's all an act. He will occasionally chime in on other sports but you can instantly tell that he has no idea what he's talking about. He says these things because he knows he'll get attention and unfortunately it kind of works. Look at me, i'm writing UA-cam comment because of it.

    Truth is, Trout does stay on the injured list. Whether you agree with other stuff he's saying may not be factual, but Trout being injured is a fact.

    Looks like J.P. sure don't care for the guy. People must of pinched a nerve on J.P. Does Pap have anything nice to say about anyone besides himself? However, I always liked Mike Trout.He got married and signed a 420 Million Dollar contract. Then he has got something wrong each year since but he still seems to come back and cranks out 30 HR's. So whomever wants to trash talk him they should go talk to him in person or at the ballpark. Does espn need change? No Doubt. At least we all know a lot of people are looking for ratings.

    Center Field is somewhat of a taxing postion with plenty of running..
    With that being said, I think Mike Trout is carrying too much weight for the position and should change up his workout routine and diet. If he was a lean 210ish instead of linebacker type build at 240-250 he probably wouldn't get injured as much

    I'm not a Stephen A fan by any means, but baseball players do seem to be overly delicate for a non contact sport. Hockey players are the best example of toughness, baseball could learn a thing or two about grit.

    I have mixed feelings on this. SAS brought up some valid points and so did this clip. I lost interest in Papelbon once he brought up Trumps name, but i do feel SAS had a brutal take on Trout. He's not completely wrong, but don't fully agree with what he said. Trout's unavailability should piss people off because its not good for the game of baseball overall when one of the best players is chronically hurt every year. Baseball is not a contact sport in the sense of football, hockey, and even basketball. Injuries do happen, but trout is held to a certain standard each year and when he gets hurt, it takes him much longer to recover than other players do. I don't know why, it just does.

    • @bryanlee8304
      @bryanlee8304 Місяць тому

      that's like saying we should be pissed at Penny Hardaway or Grant Hill. Unless someone blatantly doesn't take care of themselves and doesn't give a shit about, no one should ever be pissed at any player in any sport for getting injured. Shit happens. Every single persons body in this world is different, sometimes there's nothing you can do about it no matter how bad you want it. It probably takes him longer to recover because he, and the trainers, don't want to throw him back into it too soon knowing he's already injury prone and think giving it extra time to heal would be best overall, not just for re-injury of whatever they're recovering from but also because it's added risk you'll injure something else as your body tries to compensate for the previous injury.

      Baseball is not a contact sport? How about player collisions, players sliding into bases, outfielders colliding with outfield walls, thrown pitches hitting players? That is not contact? R u serious?

  • @jdovma1
    @jdovma1 22 дні тому

    Guys, we can't be this thin skinned about the sport. The dude was being facetious about Trout and the game to drive home how extreme his injury history is. Nobody takes it seriously. You're breathing air into his presence just making a thing out of it.
