    Nope. Tired. Hurt. Who knows. One thing I do know is he needs to just keep stealing bases

    So, Olson hits ball 105 mph with a 23 degree launch angle and it was a can of corn in front of the warning track?

    **** off.

    I think Riley had one the other day that was 110+ at 30 something degrees and it didn’t even go 400.

    And Ozuna has 9. Doesn’t mean the ball isn’t ****ing the league as a whole, despite a few still putting up good numbers.

    And then you have umpires calling strikes a foot off the plate.

    As long as they don't send different balls to different parks, I'm fine with whatever.

    They're just pouring fastballs to Acuna in the zone and offspeed out of it. Actha can't catch up to fastballs and they won't give him offspeed to hit.

    No idea what's going on with him, but it's looking more like he will be 2022 not 2023

    I think his mechanics are off. His front side is flying wide open...and he's making himself tardy on fastballs by over compensating for it by staying back..
