Josh's head first slide at lst in blow-out loss is telling

[ghoetke]

He's no friggin' prima donna like A-rod is. He seems like he's got it going now and the power we've been waiting for should be here soon.

I think he was just trying to avoid getting drilled in the face on the throw over to first.

[obanov]

Screw this, he should be trying this hard always!

 

I'm not going to give the guy extra credit because we are getting blown out.  

 

It's more "telling" that we are getting blown out in the fourth inning

[Erick McClendon]

He will end up getting injured doing that. hit the DL at least twice diving head-first when with the Rangers

It just shows that he is too dumb to know that you actually get to first faster running through the base.

Ya, my guess was that the answer to then title's question was going to be that it tells us he's not the brightest.

Not always, especially if you're racing the pitcher, it can be a harder call to make. Nothing wrong with that slide, except it was some wasted fun. I agree with the original poster, despite Hamilton's non-existent power, he showing signs of being Hamilton again. He seems more confident. We'll see

Josh is known for sliding head first into first base in the worst possible scenarios, so get used to it.  Just wait until he injures himself again sliding head first and you wont like it so much.  It's an 11-0 game and he slid head first into first base; you don't want one of your highest paid players doing that.  I always liked that kind of hustle from him and all, but sometimes it's just not that smart.  It's only April and Pujols is already playing on one leg.

Love the hustle and determination, but if he had injured himself, it would have been the teams' stupidest injury since Kendry's jump.
