Did Bewbies tell y'all that Danny Duffy was the best lefty in the game when he was on! Huh? What? That's what I thought!


I think it was Bewbies at least.

Dumb dumb dumb base-running, but also an incredible throw from right.

Edit: I am writing my thesis and it is no good terrible and I am not gonna graduate and also we're all gonna die. But baseball is fun.

You slow Hosmer

He actually isn't. Or at least, usually is not. He's pretty quick.

Goldschmidt would have been safe :colbert:

See article quoted above. I think they are so similar in speed you can't really say that. Would Goldschmidt have been safe because he would have actually hit the baseball? Pobably. Not because he is faster though.
