Read Heaney's chosen nickname on his player page on the team site.

Which guys nick name is mono again ? That one is the worst.

Inning over. Nice.

Come on, more hits and runs now!

[krAbs]

If it IS in he 520s it would be the longest home run in stat cast era - by like 20 feet.

You can call Trout's shot Ruthian all you want, but somehow I doubt Ruth ever hit a ball that far. Trout didn't deposit a ball that deep into the stands by eating hot dogs and drinking beer, so I'd hardly expect Ruth to be physically capable of doing such. He wasn't as big or as strong as Trout.

LOL.

The best part about Ruth was his incredible stride as he ran the bases.

Did statcast call it 524 feet?

My favorite part about Ruth is Scotty downplaying what he did.  Did you know they only threw 75-80 mph back then?

The best part about Ruth was his distrust of the Irish.

In N out is awesome, strad. Its just the fries are like the bullpen in 14....we could have won it all.

My favorite part is you completely ignoring the part where I'm actually right that pitchers weren't throwing hard back then.

But yeah, smaller guy than Trout, none of the modern advantages, he for sure hit the ball 600 feet. That checks out.

I always dig on obscure, old school racism from the east coast. "The mics, the poles, the wops".

Out here theyre just white.

[WeatherWonk]

Does statcast use geometry or trigonometry or whatever with the launch angle and the velocity and determine where the ball would have landed once it reached the same elevation plane as home plate? Is that how they are figuring this distance?

True, but he augmented it with his equal distrust of the Jews.

[AngelsLakersFan]

I have never seen a ball hit where that one landed, but that said it probably wasn't all that much further than some of those homeruns Troy Glaus used to deposit over the bullpens. It was definitely more rows behind the bullpen than I have seen any ball go, but it was also over the tunnel and closer to the foul pole.

Makes sense to me. Back then if you grab a woman's butt, it's a compliment. But out here, it makes you a pervert....or a porn star.

[laagamer]

Goddamn Cozart, we need better swings than that.

He was fond of the blacks tho.  

Good on him.

Again. Lol. The old school white vs white racism always gives me a chuckle.

Its like the mexican / salvadorian thing to white people.

[IheartLA]

lol did Kole K again?

[laagamer]

So, much production. I like how we at least have a firm grasp of the fundamentals in its absence. Like moving runners over.

Not even worth talking about at this point tbh
