    I said similar to Horner, but did pitchers then threw 95 to 104 mph, all the time? They were hitting against a Teheran back then, not deGrom or Verlander, or even Scherzer, those pitchers would put up John Smoltz numbers and he was one of the hardest throwers then.

    Think about it Thethe.

    They're talking about Cooper's home runs in the minors at Colorado Springs and acknowledged it's at altitude. No kidding as it's about 800 feet higher than Denver.

    Well,m I had to go look up where that stands now. Ketel Marte, who was in first before play began today, doesn't begin play for another hour or so. So thus includes an extra 2/3rds of a game for our trio.

    1. Acuna, 142
    2. Marte, 141
    3. Albies, 140
    4. Freeman, 139

I grew from the Hank Aaron era and Acuna is similar to him, Burroughs was great, Murphy great, but Horner is the closes I can say to him. I am not wrong, the oldies who grew up watching them in the 70's knows. Acuna is between Horner and Aaron in how he swings, that is what I am saying and you have to have that not.

    Seaver, Ryan and Richard were those who threw in the low to mid 90's at best but they could not compete now but they were pitchers to. They would get lit up today with no problem if they relied on that. Announcers always say, the batters today are geared for the hard stuff. They aren't lying.

    I understand what you are coming from but Acuna is adjusting to the heat and doing a great job. He is hitting 420 ft plus homers each time and striking out while being patient. I think he has struck out the second most now or third, he is in the top five. That is what I am saying.
