Is it normal for 34 yr olds to go from 62nd pctile speed to 90th year over year. Mike Trout fast

Happy to see him finally getting his chance🤣

The Angels have the most runs scored in the American League

This is the third year in a row where CJ Abrams has gotten off to a great start. Hopefully he can sustain whatever mechanical or approach adjustments as the season progresses.

Not sure I can handle a Mike Trout bounce back. Saw his two homer day at Yankee Stadium and was in pain from the smiling

Jordan Walker’s gather looks a lot better. Def paying attention!

Man, what happened to Dylan Crews

Lower hands and more open stance from Ronald. I’m paying attention!

I didn’t mean to hurt Seiya

Folks in right center are having a blast

Id also like to hit 400 ft homers to right center. Put me in touch with anybody you know who can help

If I’m commissioner, first thing I do is ban head first slides

Can’t wait for Giancarlo to not open a bag of chips then swing a 34 oz bat at 80 mph later today

Anybody on here going to Sloan in a couple weeks??

Kevin McGonigle reminds me of Grady Sizemore

Outrageous!!

I forgot Kris Bryant played for the Giants

Alvarez enters '26 in better shape following offseason sacrifices ... but it wasn't easy PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- The hardest part, Francisco Alvarez said, were the arepas -- large discs of corn dough stuffed with meat, eggs and cheese, which his mother would cook at their South Florida ho...

I’m not a professional baseball player, but if I was, I could never give up rice and beans, mofongo, etc. New level of respect unlocked🔓

William Contreras’ Defense Has Done a Complete 180 The Brewers have worked their magic once again and now have a star catcher because of it.

Jacob Wilson playing like an MVP has compromised my Jac Caglianone RoY pick

Well, Ronald Acuña seems to have his legs under him

Folks, make sure you drink water before flying. Not wanting to go to the bathroom is not worth it🤝🏼

Macro analyses are going to be very interesting, but I think this is going to help the larger understanding of exactly why and how hitters are different from one another. My suggestion: use this as a way to describe how the best hitters are versatile

If you find yourself wondering how to incorporate the Statcast bat path data into player by player analyses, you should read my last few years of writing.

Wrigley is just a beautiful park dude

So Cal Raleigh is the best catcher in baseball. Full stop.

I’m loving the Javy Baez outfield experience. Unfortunately he’s still a horrible hitter😅

It is a pleasure seeing Byron Buxton in the OF again. Thank goodness 2022 wasn’t permanent.
