The thing about baseball that people forget is that the players are just better. It's easier to them. They start younger, they are better prepared mentally, physically and emotionally. When you have those things in your favor things become easy and it's often times easy to think that the players aren't trying hard. I'm not saying that some players are slack, but I think as a whole, the players really do try.
Pan, you always talk shit about CC. Do you think he's not giving it 100%? There is no reason for him not to give 100%. Isn't he the strikeout leader in the majors? (I could be wrong on that) Shit, look at Beckett, he's not having as great a season as last year, but fuck if he isn't trying. I just think it's too easy to look at a team who quite frankly overperformed the prior year (yes your Indians) and think they aren't giving it 100% just because they are struggling a bit this year. Shit, most people think the Rays have never tried but I have to say they always have. The only difference this year is they have a dedicated front office and some better talent.
