It's funny. I remember him striking out a lot. His career average per 162 games is all of 89 strikeouts. Damn times change.


He played for 17 years.

When you get past 33 or so, you're too tired to swing at things that don't look real, real good.

Maybe. Honestly I think it's just a reflection of how the game has changed. Strikeouts are just more accepted now. Mind you he never walked. That's a hellish spread between on base and batting average.

But yes. I loved him as s player. His jump throws from deep in the hole and him running the bases was just pure excitement for me growing up.

If I had to call it, greatest arm from an infielder I've ever seen.

Baez is the type of guy who makes breakfast skillets instead of omelettes with hashbrowns.

Nobody I have watched at SS made more great plays than this guy:

but if Javy keeps this up,he will have a chance. I also say Russell wil be traded in the offseason.

That was weird. Why did Almora just stand there after he couldn't make the catch. Just looked at the ground and didn't even make an attempt to go get the ball.
