I know guys like him. "Hate losing". Get really angry when things don't go their way. But then a chance to win the game actually comes around, and he wusses out. Don't be fooled by all the bluster. The guy leads the league in "me at-bats". That at-bat with the bases loaded in the 13th (?) was the very definition of a me at-bat. Followed by a very obvious me at-bat once again in the 19th.

Hating losing does not make you a leader. Some of the biggest cancer dbags I have ever played with also "hated losing with a passion". Funny - they were also the ones diving out of the way of bean balls with the game on the line.
It's a reflex when you see a 90mph ball coming straight at you to get out of the way. I'm sure if he had more than a second to think about it he would have leaned into it.
