Is Hart the anti-Braun?

[Hammer]

Did anyone else see the quote that Corey Hart gave after the game yesterday?

 

"It kept carrying pretty good, so I just sprinted back there as fast as I could to see if I could make a play on the ball," Hart said. "If I am 5-8, I don't think that I get that ball. I am good for something, I guess: height."

Is Corey really this modest? I realize that he was 0-4 with 3k's last night but you need to be confident in your abilities in order to "make it" in the bigs. Maybe he and Braun need to spend more time together on the road http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/wink.gif

I take that quote more as non-chalance about his abilities; some people that are really talented can stay modest while still being confident. Hart's self-deprecating sense of humor is pretty normal for the modest type. Corey knows he's good, he just doesn't feel the need to be boastful.

have no problem with that response. He is probably right

That was one of the best catches in Brewer history, bar none.

if someone could post a link to the catch, that would be sweet

I watched it on mlb.com.

If he's going to boast, he should boast about his wife.

I think it's also because of his performance at the plate last night. When you go 0-4, you can't really proclaim that you had one of the best games of your life, even if you did make a game saving catch in the outfield.

See now, for some odd reason, I don't really see Braun as "cocky" or "overconfident" or whatever. He's confident, yes, but I don't think he's over-the-top so. He's just someone who is comfortable with his abilities and knows what he wants to be for this team.

 

But back to the topic at hand, yes - I do see Corey Hart as a guy who is very humble. I just don't think it's appropriate to call him the anti-Braun.

I love the response. It's so antithetical to what we're used to. I betcha he listens to cool, cutting edge music, and eats chili-cheese coleslaw dogs too!

Mmm, that sounds really tasty, I'll be stopping by your next tailgate http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/laugh.gif

Alright, if you are going to mention his wife... you must post a picture... i didn't even know Corey was married... http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/pimp.gif

Corey's married with three kids, at age 25. An early-season episode of "Brewers Str8up" showed his wife and at least some of his kids.
