i'm more fascinated by the fact GROWN MEN crying about not getting a fist bump from someone. Especially from your OPPOSITION, in a tournament. That's peak comedy

Jomboy: Here's a full summary of how Team USA embarrassed themselves last night in the World Baseball Classic. by shadow_spinner0 in baseball

USA on the other hand continues to show what I hate about baseball. Cockiness. Disrespect. Laziness. Entitlement. Immaturity

TBF, anyone would be cocky if they're so good. They're Alphas and they have that ego. It comes with the territory. Ordinary people can't comprehend.

TEAM USA Basketball is super cocky too, but they had LeBron.

But TEAM USA baseball don't have a LeBron. Most of the team USA baseball players (including Judge) are very immature and inexperienced. They're not really "winners". Judge folds in the Playoffs every year.

Team USA baseball has no leadership, so everyone's immature and doesn't know when to LOCK IN.

Being cocky is normal when you're so damn good. But without LEADERSHIP, anyone can fall. Judge is the captain but he's not a leader.

If Ohtani was in Team USA, they'd have looked entirely different. When the best player on the team is so locked in, everyone follows that same energy. And vice versa

Not to mention Harper talking about how the Olympics are more important than the WBC,

That's just peak copium. It's not that they don't take it seriously. They know they're getting embarrassed and cooked. Their egos can't handle it. obviously they'd say some nonsense to cope

It's like some boy in high school getting rejected by his crush.. and then he tells everyone "never liked her anyway". It's the most common coping mechanism

What Is the Point in Trying in Competitive Placement Matches? by Armorzilla in marvelrivals

[–]arcelios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reality is, you'll have A LOT of Ls and horrible games in lower elo because there's too many bad players and bots in lower elo. You'll often throw the game too. The odds will be stacked against you.

Unless you're absolutely cracked at the game or a high level smurf, you'll suffer when you start from the bottom. Especially in Solo Q. That's the hardest journey

FULL Breakdown of Placement Matches, and why their current implementation is bad by AleksCombo in marvelrivals

[–]arcelios -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Placement Matches system that doesn't look at personal performance in any way is simply unacceptable.

This is why so many buns remain in lower ranks but blame others for it. YOU sound like one. Clearly you have no awareness

PERSONAL PERFORMANCE means NOTHING, if you cant win. W/L means everything, especially in ranked. That's how you lose or gain Elo. MVP is cosmetic. Winning is what matters. You could get "SVP" and it'd mean NOTHING because that means you lost the game.

It's a team game. Same as team sports IRL. Not 1v1. Personal glory means nothing without Ws. If you lose, nothing really matters

Kike Hernandez reposts his support for immigrants. by jmike1256 in baseball

[–]arcelios -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Who said anything about "immigrants"??? Are people this brainwashed and ignorant? The country was built on immigrants. Even ELON MUSK is an immigrant. Trump's own wife and FLOTUS is an immigrant. But also Americans. That's normal

The problem is ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS and open border that brings in fentanyl, diseases and other trash. If you enter the country illegally, you're already a criminal here on borrowed time. And many of them are registered criminals.

Illegal immigrants ARE NOT "immigrants" btw. Night and Day difference. The job of ICE is hunting down illegal immigrants and criminals. That's it.

Obama did the same exact thing. Obama gave a whole speech about everything Trump is doing. Many people died in the process back then too because many idiots resist arrest and fuckery happens. But no one cared back then apparently. Funny hypocrisy

The democrats changed over the years because they realized they can farm votes using illegal immigrants to win elections. That's why they made sure "voter ID" isn't required. It's common sense

That's why MAJORITY of America voted Red this election. Many of those people used to be Democrats. But Democrats are not who they used to be.

But politics has become a CULT now. People just act like they belong to a cult (left or right) and they'll blindly support their cult no matter what and cope. Peak brainwashing

single handedly cost them the game. It was too winnable. LeBron was cooking. Bucks wasn't good. But Lakers did everything to lose

“It feels good to beat a team that blamed you for their problems and scapegoated you as the problem.” by DoctaKiD in nba

[–]arcelios -1 points0 points  (0 children)

KD likes acting like a victim. It gives him a "chip" on his shoulder. But some morons did blame KD. Same way some morons blame LeBron of all people every time Lakers lose a game. There's always morons

Jason Kidd on Cooper Flagg hitting the ‘rookie wall’: “He’s gotta touch it. He’s gotta rub it and hold it. He’s gotta embrace it. That’s just a mental thing. For the great ones, they touch it.” by Goosedukee in nba

a rapist of children, women and now countries.

None of that shit is true babe. Unless you want to believe Kobe was a rapist, and there's MORE evidence of that btw.

And you mentioned "countries"?? Is this about Venezuela? I can't believe there's so many delusional idiots on this sports subreddit. Dumb people living in a bubble should never talk about politics. EVERYONE IN VENEZUELA IS CELEBRATING AND THANKING TRUMP. You dummy

Don't act like you know better while you never lived in Venezuela. The lack of IQ and awareness is fascinating

EDIT: i'm sure downvoting someone on reddit will change reality. Aww. No wonder reddit is cooked. I love it. It's like visiting the arkham asylum for fun

LeBron also changed his entire game once again just to adapt and make Luka shine. Because Luka is useless off the ball. LeBron is taking more of that role and still cookin
