He's also 33, so that might just be normal aging Also, Prince Fielder hit a 600-foot dinger in batting practice today which is cool

Wait, Adam Dunn went 6-for-94 against lefties last year? That's horrifying.

Mahoning posted:I couldn't imagine a 600 ft home run. Yeah, that's just it, they found the ball 611 feet from home plate. For all we know, it went like 470 in the air, bounced off concrete another 50 feet, and rolled another 90.

Better, yeah, but not good, at least yet. Lots of young dudes coming up looking to wreck the league, at least. The parks owns and you should go even if you don't care about the team, it's loving beautiful

And yeah, Montero had "his opportunity to catch" and in it he dropped a pop fly and took more balls to the face than [INSERT SOPHOMORIC JOKE HERE]. Time to CIF/DH, Jesus.

If you hit one off the dolphin on the fly it's worth seven runs and the player who hits it gets to fail one PED test without penalty

And if you hit that sun-looking thing, it triggers "MULTI-RUN MODE" where everybody from the offensive team, including the coaches and batboys, pours out the dugout toward home plate and runs the bases and if the defensive team pushes you to the ground, you're out and everybody that runs all four bases without getting knocked down counts as a run

Yeah, a couple more trainwrecks like today and I'm 100% with you on it But with the Mariners' luck, he'll catch until March 16th, when he tears his ACL diving for a foul pop and is out for the year and never fully recovers from it

Ten million years from now, extraterrestrial beings will land on the decaying husk that was Earth, and the first thing they find will be the dinger machine and their historybooks will note how we were a primitive, carbon-based lifeform that worshipped a pastel machine with flamingoes and dolphins on it

lolquote:"[The St. Louis pitchers] understand his value more than sabermetricians could ever start to pick it apart, and what other people inside the game even understand," said Cards manager Mike Matheny. "There's so many intangibles. You can't put numbers to the things that this guy does in helping this team win. And I think that's [exemplified by] two world championships since he's taken over behind the plate." Oh good, Matheny's even worse than La Russa
