Do more, say less was an elite slogan for making people think that a team that talked a ton of **** didn’t.

I will always remember sitting on the baseline for Michigan/Providence at Mohegan Sun. X was just bullying guys. I want to say it was Makai Ashton-Langford, and he was just flat out smack talking him the entire time he was n the floor.

The thing about Z is that he did a lot. No matter how much he was saying, he was doing more.

Right, he was winning. People accept talking and winning but not talking and losing

The shortstop on my son’s travel baseball team talks a lot of sh*t. Hot head and loves running his mouth…but he isn’t very good. So it is annoying and most of us hate it. My son is one of the best players on the team and is really quiet - unless someone on the other team talks. So as the catcher he hears it from their dugout and when they come to bat. He doesn’t talk often and I’m happy about that - but when he does talk it carries more weight because he uses it sparingly and he’s the best player.
I didn’t mind Hunter being fired up or talking some when he’s doing well. I don’t love his BDE gesture at all though.
Lol, my son loves playing catcher (and first, but he’s a righty so it’s less frequent) merely because he gets to chat with other players (at first base, he gets to talk to their coach). Not trash-talk, he just runs his mouth about random stuff.
I talk trash to myself. “How could you blow that, you idiot?!?”

I will say also that the average person did not even know X was a prolific trash talker because he didn’t draw a lot of attention to it. That very much changes the candor of it. Just read the replies to Geo’s tweet as an example

Pretty rare for a youth travel team shortstop to not be very good–unless the team is bad, or his Dad is the coach.

Yeah…it is a weak point in the team. We had three guys - one left for another club and the other is a national-level soccer player and decided to give up baseball to focus on that. The one we have is “fine” and reliable, but definitely a weak point on our team.

I didn’t think it was possible for me to like Xavier Simpson or Geo Baker more than I already did, but mission accomplished with one thread.
