Stolen Bases

spring training is the time to get yourself ready for the season and not get injured.  The guys in the minors will have plenty of time to work on stealing bases....in the minors.  

Put the cute hand guard on and they'll be fine. They get paid money to play baseball not to jog around the bases because it's spring training.

Trout hit an infield single, they tag up for a sac fly, they run first to third, second to home. If the Angels are in the bottom 10 for stolen bases during the season then my point exactly. If they are in the top 10 then i'll swallow my words.

2015 Kansas City Royals stole their way to a WS Championship with 14 stolen bases in the playoffs. 

KC won that WS on the strengths of their defense and their bullpen, which was talked about all that season. They were pretty pedestrian on offense overall in the WS, with an OBP/SLG/OPS of .295/.330/.625.

The Mets were just worse.

And if they are middle of the road?...

most people have no concept of what it's like to endure a 162 game season.  How much or little they get paid is irrelevant.

Using a long season as a reason is also a bit irrelevant. I won’t reference money but it is their job. Doctors work 60+ hours a week as well being on call but they’re still doing open heart surgeries. We don’t hear them say “maybe next time I’ll try it”.

You really think heart surgeons work 60 hours a week?   @Dochalo is that really happening?

I might know how many hours doctors work.  Everyone knows their job.  You pick your battles in terms of intensity.  If I know I'm going to be up late for several nights in a row, I'm not gonna push it right before that.  

it's a terrible analogy btw.  Doctors typically don't work balls to the wall for 6-7 months, take a couple months off, and then move to Arizona for two months in order to get their skills in order.  

A 60 hr work week would be glorious.

Well, maybe your just not doing it right. I'm guessing you don't show up at work in the bsoyl.
