That's a great play and all, but Pujols can't move anymore. This play from last year still cracks me up. http://m.mlb.com/video/v26348711/must-c-conclusion-florimon-ends-it-with-a-flourish/?query=&game_pk=346936

Imagine what he could have done if he'd been a 3b for longer in the minors instead of being moved over from SS at the last minute.

Andy Marte sighting, just hit a HR in a PH at-bat for Arizona, appears to be his first plate appearance in the league since 2010.

Heh. I read this and at first thought he threw his bat at another third baseman.

Except Machado's arm is way stronger.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

It seems like he's been in the league forever, and he just turned 22.

@baseballtwit

Brian Bohanon turns 46 today. In 1999 he had a 6.20 ERA, but 3.1 bWAR. How? Coors, the steroid era, and the Rockies' putrid –86 run defense.

Lol, Trout may have been on 2nd if he hit the same ball.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I wanna see Pujols and Aramis run the 40.

I haven't seen much of Trout this year, but a couple of things come to mind about his speed: he has only attempted 10 steals this year, his baserunning score on FG is 1.7 (12.0, 8.1 last two years), and his defense on FG is -4.0.

 

Has he bulked up to the point where he has lost a significant amount of speed? He's obviously still a fast dude, but I wonder if he has hurt his overall value too much. He has increased his power while hurting every other facet of his game, it seems.

Blows me away that's he's made that throw three times, and the ball hasn't hopped once. Put him and Simmons on the same team, please.

He still hasn't been caught at all, I think it is more because of where he is hitting in the order.

i hand timed it three times and got right around 5.10 each time. that is really [expletive] slow. a 20 runner is like 4.6 from the right side. most baseball players could [expletive] themselves coming out of the batter's box and still post a faster time running with a load in their pants.
