So Ohtani and Trout bore you?

I did add to the previous post.

Plus they both add a lot on the base paths.

That's certainly true. Ohtani is a damn gazelle.

He's so majestic. I love him.

Yep, three true outcomes is boring to this traditionalist.

Put the ball in play, and make the defense beat you.   And mix in good and aggressive base running.

Keep the bunting for hits, but unless it’s a pitching duel, ditch the sac bunt.

I’m fine with HRs, Ks, and BBs; just now as the largely consensus outcomes.

The irony of the 2002 Angels is that the 2002 World Series MVP (Glaus) was a great example of a three true outcome player. But Glaus was pretty much an outlier on that Angels' team. They had so many guys who were great at putting the ball in play like Eckstein, Anderson, and Erstad. Salmon as good at putting the ball in play that 2002 regular season, which was a 18.0 strikeout rate, solid for a power hitter. Of course, putting the ball in play can lead to a lot of double plays but more often than not, it helps more than does not.

He only had 6 more HRs than he did doubles.

I hope he can locate his majestic swing again.

Damned HR derby...

So while my math may be a bit off the angels play the Yankees on august 18th.  His streak might be 53 at that time.  Do the Yankees intentionally walk him every at bat to end the streak.  If I were a Yankees pitcher I’d through everything pitch 1 foot away from the zone.

Rendon was better than Fletcher last season. People have soured on Rendon because he’s been hurt so often this year that he hasn’t been able to find his stroke. Oh and this year Fletcher has been 8% better than a shitty Rendon.  

@tdawg87 is mentally hurt and he still finds his stroke.

WM cursed Fletch

Oh no! It's the end of the 7th and Fletch is 0/4. I've broken Fletch! I humbly appeal to the baseball Gods for mercy.

Nah you're good. You don't have a history of these shenanigans. Unlike a certain someone.

DiMaggio never bunted for a hit during his streak. I would forgive Fletcher if he did.

He'll definitely get one more unless a meteor hits the stadium.
