What do runners talk about with the infielders when they reach base?

Question

I've always wondered what baseball players say to the fielders on the opposing team when they reach base. Especially since there seems to be such rivalry between the Sox and the Yankees and yet I'll watch Ortiz and Giambi giggle amongst eachother over at first base. So I just wanted to know what types of comments are usually exchanged between players.

Answer 1

If they know each other well they probably try to just BS about their lives in a silly way to pretend that they have normal jobs.

If they dont know each other well they probably are real sarcastic or trash talk so that the runner will be distracted and get picked off.

When I used to play first base i'd say stuff like "whoa what a *****ty hit, you must feel lucky you made it on base" , or "did your mom change her number or just not pay the phone bill?"

etc.

Most first basemans in the MLB are stars and most people who make it on base are stars too, and like any other business they like to congregate with their own kind.

Answer 2

they talk about the weather and that funn thing that happened in the news yesterday, and how the first base man thinks that the runner is going to be thrown out and so on

Answer 3

Where to go to eat after the game. Did you see that broad with the big b**bs behind the dugout? Who's your agent?, mine's not getting me enough $$$.

Answer 4

The weather, the people in the stands, the latest gossip in their clubhouse.

Answer 5
