When it comes to sports, not everyone has the same perspective!
A netizen recently asked, “What’s your baseball opinion that few will agree with and will cause instant arguments?”. Below are the top responses!
YADIER MOLINA IS NOT A HALL OF FAMER
![looking angry, annoyed and frustrated screaming wtf or what’s wrong with you](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2.-angry-man.jpeg)
“Mine is that Yadier Molina is not a Hall of Famer and shouldn’t even be considered.
He gets a lot of leeway because he played his entire career with one team and for his ability to hold runners. But statistically, he was nowhere close. His career WAR is ten below the average HoF catcher. His 7-year peak and WAR/162 are well below the average HoF catcher.”
MIGUEL CABRERA’S PUBLIC IMAGE IS IMPRESSIVE

“Miguel Cabrera’s public image surviving the DUI, public threatening, DV accusations, and having multiple children when married to another woman is pretty impressive. Many players have been dragged for just one of those things. I do think that his story of sobriety is legitimately inspiring and should be part of his legacy, but it is a huge example as to how certain players get a pass.”
18 INNING GAMES ARE AWESOME

“18-inning games are awesome,” said one.
“I love how weird baseball gets when things go too long. An at-bat, an inning, even the game itself. The longer things go without a resolution, the more chances the chaos gremlins have to crawl in,” another added.
LEFT-HANDED CATCHERS SHOULD BE GIVEN A CHANCE

“A team should take a chance on a lefty throwing catcher,” said one.
“Wow, I just realized I never saw a left-handed catcher,” another added.
WAR IS NOT A GOOD METRIC FOR CATCHERS

“WAR is not a good metric for catchers. Even with modern pitch framing data, it still doesn’t come close to capturing the totality of what a catcher does.”
MLB CAN BE MADE MORE EXCITING

“The MLB would be more exciting if all outfield fences were moved back 50 feet. I like triples, and this would make non-HR strategies more viable.”
EVEN HARDCORE FANS CAN’T DETECT THE PITCH IN THE BOX
![Young hispanic girl wearing casual clothes scared and amazed with open mouth for surprise, disbelief face](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/1.-shocked-woman.jpeg)
“Over 95% of fans can only tell what kind of a pitch was thrown from the traditional center field camera. Put them in the box or behind the plate, and they’ll have zero idea what’s happening. Zero.”
THE DETROIT TIGERS HAVE THE MOST PATHETIC HISTORY

“Of all teams that can say they have a 100+ years history, the Detroit Tigers have the most pathetic, irrelevant, and boring story.”
YOU CAN’T RELY ON ADVANCED ANALYTICS ALL THE TIME
![Young woman portrait over grey background](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/whatever-3.jpeg)
“I’m all for advanced analytics, but sometimes you need to play some small ball and go with your gut based on what you know your team can do.”
DEREK JETER WAS ONE OF THE WORST DEFENSIVE SHORTSTOPS

“Derek Jeter was one of the worst defensive Shortstops in baseball.”
PITCHING DUELS IS BORING IN PERSON
![Young beautiful blonde woman wearing casual clothes scared and amazed with open mouth for surprise, disbelief face](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/shocked-and-worried.jpeg)
“Pitching duels is boring in person. It’s not fun when the only action of the game is the back-and-forth toss between the pitcher and the catcher, especially when you can’t see the strike zone while watching the game in person. It’s my personal opinion, though!”
THE HUMAN ELEMENT OF UMPIRING IS COOL
![shocked omg](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/shocked-omg.jpg)
“I like the human element of umpiring. I don’t care if that means some calls get blown, and I feel like the uncertainty all adds to the game’s drama for me.
That said, MLB umpires have been pretty bad!”
IT SHOULDN’T BE ALL ABOUT NUMBERS

CITY CONNECT JERSEYS ARE COOL

“City Connect jerseys are excellent and bring a fresh vibe to the game.
I also don’t mind the Nike logo on the regular jerseys.”

![Photo portrait of lovely young lady sorry forget shrug shoulders cute wear trendy orange clothes isolated on blue color background.](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/whatever-woman.jpeg)
“Barry Bonds deserves to be in the Hall of Fame without a doubt, and the fact he’s not is insane, but at the same time, his home run records shouldn’t count, and the current record holders should be Henry Aaron and Aaron Judge.”
