Is this true?!

[fan_since79]

A caller to Angel Talk the other day said that Hamilton uses the heaviest bat in MLB. Is that true?

 

If so, WHY??????

 

He can't catch up to fastballs much of the time, even in the zone. I've seen a lot of weak swings from him this year. 

 

 

[Angel Oracle]

He's stupid.

It doesn't matter what size bat you're using when you expand your hitting zone outside of the strike zone.

[Mark68]

LIghter bats don't help you hit pitches six inches off the plate.

Earlier this year there was a game in which Josh Hamilton broke all of his bats. According to Victor Rojas, the next closest thing was to borrow one of Mark Trumbo's bats

I'm sure those bats were as helpful to Hamilton than they are for Trumbo.

[tomsred]

Bats are overrated.

[bloodbrother]

We sure he's even using a bat?

Looked online, and Trumbo uses a 34/32.  I'm thinking 34 ounces, 32 inches?.  Trout uses a 33.5 oz.   Hamilton looks like a 35 inch.  Can't find a weight on it though.

Ok, here is something interesting that I didn't know about Trumbo.

Something causes those breezes at the plate.

All the godly people on our team suck.  Maybe they should switch to scientology or satanism or something

[Sciosciapath]

They should check Trumbo's bat for holes

Hamilton and Pujols are definitely disappointing. Chris Iannetta is pretty good at walking though. Vernon Wells switched over to the Yankees.

He'll be DFA'ed in two.

He'll be DFA'ed in two.

 

Then go to another team for cheap and regain his form

[ukyah]

he will not be dfa'ed in two. he'll rebound.

[YouthofToday]

We should have signed Tim Tebow. Only He can save us!
