as someone who fucks around at the batting cages from time to time the axe handle bat is an elite piece of equipment. takes the sting out of hitting and it's way easier to get the barrel out in front on time

my favorite baseball fact is that Ted Williams was Mexican

apparently all projection systems agree that barring injury, Juan Soto is the reincarnation of Teddy Ballgame at the plate. makes sense when you consider he was talking about the game like this at 14

Contreras is probably the biggest upside in all the pieces you guys got for Jamo

Lindor wants 12/400 which isn’t that unreasonable

If deGrom is still dominating at 34 I could easily see teams lining up to pay him

Acuna is super fast and he’s a right handed hitter which is all the more impressive. If he was left handed he’d be doing some Ichiro poo poo beating out grounders to third regularly

31 feet/sec is 21 mph which is legit incredible foot speed. I think olympic sprinters average close to 24 mph and that's without spikes on dirt anyway just nuts

I wonder how close Acuna gets to 24 in ideal conditions. Like, he had to hit a baseball first and then immediately break and run. That’s some hard poo poo!

From the segment of social media that I’ve observed it’s probably more to do with the way that people are watching the game. They think it’s football and they’re living and dying with each play.

Team has been mediocre to bad for sure but nothing to justify the hog behavior from last night.

If you’re a real deal baseball fan you know that a bad 13 game stretch is nothing in the big picture. But if you’re going to a game? Probably don’t know that

I wish the Yanks would have traded Clint Frazier because what they’re doing with him is criminal. Rougned Odor is starting more often than him! gently caress!

Did last year's short season hypnotize people into forgetting what a baseball season is like?

It definitely must have! Even a 100 win team is going to have a stretch where they look like poo poo. People really forgot what the marathon was like and it’s nuts

Mike Tauchman had zero (0) base hits on fastballs down the middle last year. poo poo was baffling
