Hell yes he is. Any man who can stare down pitchers in a WS and deliver while having Contemporary Christian walk up music has brass ones.
And yes, I just reminded an atheist that a devout Christian gave him one of the greatest moments of his life.

Don't mistake my absence of faith for a lack of respect or admiration (not truly an atheist either, BTW). Zobrist is awesome and is absolutely a very devout Christian. I love that guy. My Tim Tebow "hate" (I put it in quotes because hate would be way too strong a word) is also not about his beliefs, I just think the guy is an annoying attention whore and he has always rubbed me the wrong way. This whole baseball career thing just feels like an extension of his need for attention and an ego trip and has rekindled my distaste for him. But it isn't because he is a Christian. I am not nearly that shallow, petty, or miserable of a person. I know your post was pretty much just tongue in cheek, I just wanted to be clear.
Haha! You're such a dumbass, Kaddish!Lol, nevermind, get it now. I feel dumb.
Apology not deleted, for posterity and so you can laugh at me.

Not sure how to properly post this with the video wrap but it is pretty damn funny. Funny or Die did a mashup of Anchorman if it were written about the Cubs winning the World Series.

Like the signing as well and evidently the Rangers have been eyeing him since 2014. Wont have the pressure he had in San Diego so that should help. He can step right into the 3rd or 4th spot and hopefully give us a very good year.Rangers will sign Andrew Cashner...I have always been intrigued by this guy. He is a toolsy pitcher that might benefit from being back in his home state.
Definitely well worth taking a shot on a 1 year $10M deal. Could end up providing outstanding value if he figures something out. I wouldn't bank on it though because he has been trending badly in the wrong direction the past couple of years and also has had trouble staying healthy throughout his career. He isn't very dominant for a guy who throws that hard and his WHIP has been really, really ugly the past two seasons. If they can tweak something and he reverts back to 2013/2014 form though he will be a steal at that price.Rangers will sign Andrew Cashner...I have always been intrigued by this guy.

When I see talented players like him I always think they are better suited to go to the bullpen. You can get by in the bullpen with 1 or 2 pitches.Definitely well worth taking a shot on a 1 year $10M deal. Could end up providing outstanding value if he figures something out.

Could be a move he makes in the next couple years to extend his career deep into his 30s. I could see him succeeding in that role.When I see talented players like him I always think they are better suited to go to the bullpen. You can get by in the bullpen with 1 or 2 pitches.
It still does play a big factor but a certain chunk of the voters are no longer automatically disqualifying a guy just because his team doesn't contend for the postseason. I agree with that mindset. I think it still should be a factor but I don't give it as much weight as someone who takes a more traditional approach I guess.Mike Trout as MVP over Betts and Altuve is ridiculous. He just did not play in that many critical games this year.
