Contrary to idiotic reporters' beliefs, the Mariners are not replacing weight training with nonsense. As I figured, the reporter in question has no idea what "weight training" is, or rather, equates "weight training" with "leg extensions."
As you can see in the video, they have tons of cable pulleys to train hip rotation, but they also have three power cages and a DB rack. Dur hur. Dr. Marcus Elliot talks a lot about leg strength (zomg squats) and thoracic extension.
In short, they hired a bunch of non-idiots. This is likely the first case of this happening in the MLB. Or possibly even professional sports.
huge LOL at ken griffey saying he's going to stick with what he's been doing and that ken doesn't do a lot of weight lifting
Unfortunately, I'm thinking with the influx of Hispanic immigrants we might actually start to see more and more soccer in the US. It's going to become harder and harder to pretend it doesn't exist beyond high school athletics.
You can't be bashing on the football when you ameritards only pick sports that hardly anyone else plays professionally (which all have about 3 million breaks in play/adverts each game).
