It's an enormous mental funk.

He may need a hypnotist or something. 

Calhoun is in full 2015 Matt Joyce, 2017 Danny Espinosa mode

No, Sabathia is fat.  Ruth was big boned, farm strength.  If he had actually lifted he had the capacity to be yoked.

Was he country strong? I thought he was from a boy's home in the city.

do you understand the difference between a religion and race?

Mexican isn't a race either, it's a nationality. You can be mexican and look 100% Native American or 100% European, Spain/Portugal are right next to France which almost everyone would consider the indigneous people to be white.

If you would've asked Ruth, he probably would've told you Mexican is a color.

The more Hermosillo and Blash hit, the shorter Cold Calhoun's leash gets(because he's the worst hitter in baseball)

His leash has that guaranteed contract attached to it. With the limited bench quality he’s going to be in RF all season long.

Have to give Gubi credit. He called that Pujols home run, after the brushback..

He hit it left of the bullpens, it was closer to the foul pole than the bullpens.

No, it wasn't. It was above the opening in LF, which goes back to the top of the bullpens. 

[laagamer]

Somebody get these hitters a goddamn map.

Update: I'm full.

[IheartLA]

Upton really needs to switch with Ohtani

[UndertheHalo]

Upton and Calhoun have not exited their slumps

Two guys.  One bucket.   

That video changes the way you view the world

[Ohtaniland]

Upton continues to impress. 

[GrittyVeterans]

Upton is starting to look like another Vernon Wells type

[UndertheHalo]

Remember when Cam Maybin was like the best hitter in the AL for like 3 weeks last year.  That was cool.

TV guys just analyzed the distance and they pretty much concluded it couldn't have been more than 460 or 470. There is no way that it was 180 ft Beyond The Outfield wall. Especially since the stands Elevate up which reduces the horizontal distance even possible.

Looking forward to an historic month for Mike Trout.

I don't expect anything from the rest of the lineup.

they project the horizontal distance as if the stands weren't there.  

[Lou]

When I think of mathematicians, Vic and Gubi immediately come to mind 

[WeatherWonk]

Well, I'll grant that my discussion isn't up to par with all the racism going on. Maybe I should STFU.

Right. Where the ball would have ended up if nothing impeded it.

That was a high launch angle. I've rarely seen that.
