With all the major league teams splitting squads up to play games,it's not unheard of for them to lose to Jr.college teams or obscure lower division college teams.How in the hell do you get a handle on handicapping pre season baseball when it's nothing more than a scrimmage.
Talk about a few rag tag kids in jr.college getting big heads and inflated egos when they win a game like that.Also talk about deflated egos and shame when you are a major league team all be it,with your grade B players that lose to a small college.As a MLB team owner,I would think twice about playing these games.You have pride to lose and you also might get some players hurt when they try to over extend themselves winning a game they shouldn't lose.
It reminds me of when the Green Bay Packers won the 2nd Super Bowl or was it the first,with Lombardi coaching???that lost to the college all stars.It wasn't long after and the NFL quit playing those games.
