Probably one of the hardest fields to put up that statline.

The 2nd of the three was just absolutely crushed

Yes. Dude was on fire

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Never seen a ball land in the upper tier of the warehouse, barreled that one up. A short powerful swing, it was.

The only other player I've seen do that was Justin Upton last season.

Braun was on something last year. I doubt seriously that he is now.

 

[005]

He might just be really good at baseball.

 

[TBrown]

He might just be really good at baseball.

Word

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Well of course he is just really good at baseball. I am sure those ridiculously high levels of testerone came from over the counter vitamins

 

[005]

Can't fault him for being manly.

 

[005]

All seriousness, I just get really sick of the whole standpoint/narrative on steroids. From MLB writers, fans of other sports, etc.

Good point.

For sure. I am over the whole long ball era in general.

****ing fantastic. I have never seen that.

I love how Greg Maddux was the best pitcher of his generation, and looked like me basically.

 

[slh1089]

I loved that commercial. Best part was they were pretty good hitting pitchers. "Chicks dig the long ball".
