How long can your team afford players that won't push themselves?
And I am not saying go out there and injure yourself, but go out and give 100%.... if a player feels giving 100% may cause injury, he doesn't deserve his pay or to even be in the game. And owners/GMs/managers that don't push their players to give 100% deserve fired or to sell the team. And the fans who don't want to see their players give 100% deserve high paid losers and teams that go nowhere.
I would watch the Indians and Reds no matter what as long the players give 100%. But we get high paid bums, that get the big money and don't even try (like Cleveland has now, pitching excluded except for the bum CC), they still don't challenge the division because they won't give 100% every day and aren't even worth a free ticket.
