    Air Yordan did 109 mph on his latest dunk.

    Altuve's not a slappy, he lives on line drives. Kemp surprises me with his skinny pull power.

    Might knock the train off the tracks...or break a window...or take out the "H" in center field...or knock the World Series pennant off the wall.

    He clearly lost contact with the bag while the tag was still on him. Like, he would've been called out instantly on replay. You're only allowed to run or slide through 2 out of the 4 bases; that's baseball, and it always has been. A steal is not simply a sprint.

    When they start throwing him inside and he learns to shorten up and turn quick....things will get really fun.

    eta: you let him extend his arms down and out over the plate...well, you're stewed buttwad.

    Biggio with a double in MMP sounds familiar.

    Cole burns so many pitches when he should just throw strikes.

    Agreed... if a player slides passed the base and is tagged, he should be out.

    I was talking about not maintaining contact for a second while not sliding passed. Such is merely replay abuse.

    Remember when Eric Anthony was supposed to be Alvarez?

    Remember how he was “fake Alvarez” for the 2nd half of ‘92 ? Faked us all out.

    Alvarez won’t Anthony.
