But he's staying on off-speed pitches so well, you have to get him to speed up somehow so you can be effective with offspeed away from his barrel.

Yes...I'd go up and in and then low and away. That said, do we really think he's going to maintain a near .450 BABIP (I know, a lot of it is all the homers and his exit velocity)? I just have a hard time seeing it...if I had to guess, I'd say he finishes the year at around .300-.310 with 45 homers.

A week ago you were advocating for the trainer and physician to be fired because they weren't preventing injuries

In the context of the conversation being that Judge is nimble for his size, Trout was the best comparison of big players that are more nimble than they should be.

If we are talking body type, power and size, sure. Stanton is the easy comparison.

I'm not sure in which way. I picked them to finish 3rd in the division in light of the momentum from last year. Just way too many holes and inconsistencies.

Mike Zunino is looking like an actual major league hitter lately. I don't know how to process this. The pessimist in me knows it's likely an aberration but man it would be really nice if he could be decent.

Nice to see the Jays get the W tonight even though they nearly coughed it up.

Mookie had a single, double, and a homer going into his AB in the 9th. A triple away from the cycle, and he...hit a home run.

Come on bro, couldn't take just a *little* off of it?
I'm being completely sarcastic. Betts' night was 4 for 5 with 2 homers, a double and a single.
