    They're good.  And they benefit the most from the non MLB format.

    No,  they don't have better players overall.  If they did,  you'd see more Japanese players in the show.

    I meant they dont specialize, like say pitchers who dont hit etc...

    adept at all aspects of the game...

    April/Alix... super impressive victory. 
    joke sport.
    You wouldn't last 10 minutes without passing out from exhaustion. 
    I think it's a cool sport but that is silly.
    (So is saying it is a joke sport, of course....)

    You ever played sand volleyball? It's hard as hell on you and that's when you have 3 or 4 people and not spiking and blocking.  It's no joke. Sand anything is 3x harder than pavement,  grass,  etc.
    It is tough. agreed. I just can’t pull for people who’s training consists of going to the beach everyday.

    That's how I feel about diving.  I can do cannonballs drunk no problem.  So how hard can diving be?

    Have they added tubing down a lazy river?  
    Used to go to Raging Waters (Outside LA) all the time as a kid. I’d spend about an hour a day in the lazy River picking up change from the bottom people dropped then go get an ice cream.
    Probably can’t do that anymore since most people are cashless.
