Mookie Betts is pretty good by not-Mike-Trout standards. Makes you really appreciate what Mike Trout does imo

I mean, it's clearly not actually a 500 footer.

Open your mind to the possibility that the ball lodged itself 75 feet deep into the stadium

It's a given he'd have a better arm than Blanco, Gorkys, or Jackson. What's important is how he'd slot among good outfield arms.

So really, his competition is Tomlinson and Belt

Oh, Pudge's son, pitcher Dereck Rodriguez, (inevitably D-Rod) got called up by the San Francisco Giants.

I'd like to think Pudge told him, in the way that fathers do, of the horrors of catching and to do anything else on the field except squat like a crazy person behind the plate.

I saw that he was doing pretty well down in Triple-A last week and figured, with how bad the Giants are pitching, it was only a matter of time till he got a shot.

It's not like the Cubs don't have form in incredibly dirty slides.

This should be Rizzo taking out Austin Hedges instead.
