Pointing Skyward

As a big baseball fan, I've never understood why players like Barry Bonds, Albert Pujols or David Ortiz point to heaven after hitting a home run or cracking a key hit, but do not point or gesture when they strike out with the bases loaded or ground into a rally killing double play. Why thank God only when something favorable happens? Presumably, God is always watching his devoted children -- when the crowd is cheering and also when the front row hecklers are in full froth. Isn't it hypocritical to thank God only when things are going well?
