The best eye in Baseball led the league in walks last year until he got hit.

4HR in the last 4 games, including today.

Be more concerned about the relief pitcher that took 1 minute for every pitch.

He should bat second. He’ll never knock in 100 runs. Wear out the starting pitcher. Good first baseman and a good baserunner.

It raises the question, should there be a limit to the number of foul balls. 6 ?

And how often does even 6 happen ? Once in every dozen games, I'd guess.

The Angel pitcher threw 49 pitches in the first inning and didn’t give up a run. Oh my.

I used to be a big Bball fan. But got tired of the game seeming to be in slow motion.

IMHO, baseball needs a shotclock.

Alex Cora hit the 18th pitch of his at-bat over the right-field wall for a home run a dozen or so years ago at Dodger Stadium. Still the best at-bat I’ve seen.

As a retired coach, much respect for a 21 pitch at bat.

What was the count? If it was 2 balls two strikes, or something like that, and not to far in the past, they would have dusted him off.

“Here buddy, see if you can foul this off.” And down he would go.
