He’s one of the top 10 players in baseball ⚾️
To: TexasKamaAina
The first four batters in the Dodgers lineup (Betts, Turner, Freeman, and Smith) is the best in baseball.

Wow, gorgeous and so effortless. The author points out how strongly dance and athletics work together and are alike. His slide really shows that.

I am not even into baseball, but that was cool! looks like he was ice skating or something.
To: ClearCase_guy
That is true grace. And I saw all of Bo Jacksons famous plays live. (Running up the wall after a catch he made look easy and throwing out a home plate runner where no one bellied he made the throw, etc)

Much better than Kinsler's

Better than the Ty Cobb cleats-aimed-at-the-catcher slide.

This makes me want to have corn-on-the-cob with butter and a bag of unsalted peanuts.
Am I wrong?

His BA is over .300. When he was in the minor leagues, his BA was .369.
Ty Cobb’s lifetime BA was .366, which is incredible.

Minor league tickets around here are $6. Not bad.

The Washington Nationals are currently 42-83. It was a great time just a few years ago when Trea Turner, et al., were playing with the Nats and they won the World Series.

Damn, I watched that home plate slide over and over and over and the only thing I can think of is that dude is sliding on ice..........
Who would have ever thought that with all the base stealing records in MLB, this guy and his sliding prowess would make headline news.....Just beautiful.

Trea has been over the last four years the best player in baseball
To: TexasKamaAina
He hardly loses any momentum in the slide....goes full bore until the last moment and by the time he drops he’s still going very fast...
