You know who wishes this clip existed two days earlier? The ace of the team that ever-so-slightly benefited from the hilarious play that perfectly captured the essence of spring training...

Those of you freaking out about spring training. Don't. It sucks, and we need to do a better job. But... it's still ST and doesn't mean s***

Seriously, there is no amount of unnecessarily censored tweets that could lend as much credence to the meaninglessness of March baseball as a video of a guy quite literally quitting mid-play. This GIF is for the obsessive lunatics that are treating practice games like appointment television and criticizing players for not recreating the 'Get Out' challenge in hopes of beating out a ground ball. If watching it didn't remind them of how insignificant spring training is then there is no saving them from dying an early death incurred from treating Triple A at-bats in games that don't count like they are life and death situations. 

I suppose I'm not the best person to judge because I consider this time of year to be pre-preseason and the first 81 games of the MLB calendar to be the actual preseason. However, I truly believe there is no competition that can still be considered "professional" that is as inconsequential as games that need to be played out-of-region because even the weather in baseball cities isn't ready for baseball. I know this because - as bad and unnecessary as the NBA preseason is - I have never seen a player react to a double team during it by rolling the ball out of bounds and walking off the court. So props to Asdrubal Cabrera for giving us a great "fuck this, I'm out" and visually reaffirming Justin Verlander's message. Hopefully it provided a reality check to at least one person who was scoring games that are less important than wiffle ball tournaments like they are taking place during a pennant race.
