I’m thinking Lance was being respectful but You can make an argument for it based on the numbers. Pujols has a good shot at finishing his career as the only player ever with 700 HR’s and 700 2B’s. 

Personally, I think it’s Ted Williams but it will be Trout by the time he’s done. 

Nope. He was pressed on it and stood by what he had said

Pena needs to not be in the rotation.

Ohtani now batting .313 with an OPS of .939

I dont know how anyone could pitch with 10 lbs of Mr. T gold chains around their neck.

[Lou]

Kole doesn't like batting leadoff

[JAHV76]

Nice 2B by Calhoun 

[Lou]

We'd have a nice lead if Trout didn't suck

[Kenny]

Why do base coaches wear helmets, while everyone else on the field except catchers and batters/base runners don’t?

These are the questions I have after a couple beers.

[Cooper12]

Simba!!!!!! 

[eligrba4ever]

[beatlesrule]

I was wrong and I am proud!!!

Because they don't wear gloves?

And because their attention is mostly on other things than the hitter.

At least one coach was killed in the past 10 years at AAA and below.

A few years back a 3rd base coach got drilled in the head, I can't remember the team or the coach, but MLB made it a rule.  Think about it, a guy standing there, without a glove, not expecting a line drive.

Because first base coach Scott Coolbaugh was stuck by a baseball and was killed.That happened in 2007 so MLB decided to wear helmets in 2008.

[Kenny]

Yeah, that sounds right.

I still think pitchers should wear helmets.

[Glen]

Four-inning Felix.

Every Team has to have an All Star representative...but yes I agree with you.

[Glen]
