Tatis injured his hamstring today. No word on how serious it is.

AngelsWin does it again! 

did you see the play? he went full splits trying to catch a ball at second base.

i think 'hamstring' means 'groin.' it looked pretty painful for someone who isn't an olympic gymnast.

Harvey's lowered his era from 8.03 to 6.54 today 

man, if he can lower his era by that much for each of his next five starts, he could be at 0.00 before you know it.

Its obviously still early. He could go berserk and end up as a beast again. But i still scratch my head a bit that people are comparing him to trout. Lets see 3 years of mvp numbers before we compare the two.

Trout can only ride the wave for so long ... it won’t be long before others catch up to him. I doubt it will be Mookie Betts.

Blasphemy!!!

Kidding aside, I think it will be more of him eventually falling to their level rather than them catching up to him. Trout is unique.

This year it's Bellinger.    Somebody has a huge year every year and suddenly they are Trout's equal, then year number two happens and...  nope...

Is it still April for you?   Season ends in October.   Also, that .766 road OPS isn't impressive.

Betts has an RBI single today so he's right back in the MVP race

Mookie's last 9 games before today:

.412/.512/.735/1.247

7BBs, 4Ks

Well, yeah, that is true of any player.

The point stands, anyone who passes him will have to put up at least 3 seasons being better than him...to be considered better than him.

After Harpers big year, the talking heads said he was better than trout. How does that look now?
