I agree about being in the sun. I am white as can be, a mixture of Danish, Norwegian and Polish. Yet when I used to landscape, I would develop a deep tan, very dark. Some people just tan more easily than others. The think about the white race is we can have a variety of shades of white depending on ancestry.
27 games now. As the defending batting champion, batting high in the order of a high powered offense, and with his speed…it gets interesting after 30 games. (Although, I can see Dave Roberts pull him late in a blowout, still needing a hit, “he needs rest, for the good of the team.”)
And, it’s over. 0-4 with a walk.
Mike Trout out again. Who knows for how long?
Carolina Speed, I got nauseous when I saw where he got hurt again. The x-rays were negative but I really know what that means in how many games he will miss.
Me too booth. Trout out for the third game in a row! Freeman doing well in LA with the Dodgers and Schwarber hit his fourth HR for the Phillies today. My posts are brief as I am on vacation for a week at the beach in SC.
Trout with 2 home runs last night. Hopefully he remains healthy for the rest of the season and challenge for his fourth MVP!
After Trout hits two home runs in last night's game, he gets plunked again today in his first at bat. At this rate he'll never make it until the end of the season. That would be a shame as the Angels are playing pretty good ball. I'd like to see Trout in the post season
Interesting you mentioned this WL. I was thinking the same thing. Bonds was hit a total of 33 times during his first full ten seasons in MLB. Trout has been hit 84 times in his first ten years. Two of those years for Trout he only played a total of 99 games, so the number would probably be more around the 100 range. Three times as many as Bonds. Trout has been hit in the double digit range already 5 times in his career. Bonds only got hit in double digits twice in his 22 year career. Ten times twice, barely in double digits at that. Those two times was later in his career. Trout has already been hit a total of 80 times in only 8 full seasons. Trout was hit 16 TIMES in only 134 games in 2019!!
Yes, I noticed the same the other day, which caught me by surprise as a few years ago it seemed to be Mike Trout and 7 or 8 brown guys. Now they have good young players like Jared Walsh, Brandon Marsh, Tyler Wade, Taylor Ward, David Fletcher, Jack Mayfield and Max Stassi. With this demographic improvement, they’re actually playing their best baseball in years. Hopefully they’ll finally get Trout into the playoffs!
I think he’ll be worse than Buxton, maybe more like Heyward if he reaches his “upside”. Buxton actually has 5 tools, though they aren’t great like he was hyped to be. Actually he has a 6th tool, getting injured every year. In his 8th season, I’d only say that he had one that was noteworthy. 16 homers, 51 RBI and 29 SBs back in 2017. Considering he was the consensus best prospect for years, his career has been a huge bust.
