Isn't he getting a little long in the tooth for this game?
Yes. But also he's 50# heavier than he used to be.
However his vocabulary seems to be expanding because when the manager came to get him, he let go a string of not-very-nice terms that kept going until he was in the dugout.
edit: he's made $420 million. I don't think I could cuss about anything if I was sittin' on a mountain like that.
The Torpedo bats are as bad as the tush-push.
Give it to the Yankmees to try and recapture their dominance by creating controversy and skirting the cork bats of old.
There was a big discussion when Barry Bonds was hitting so many home runs; his bat was a 34, McGwire's was a bit longer and heavier but they were both shorter than the traditional "slugger" bats that were often max length and weight. The key for them was to increase bat speed. But Bonds actually choked up almost 2 inches! Any player who goes up to the plate with a 32" bat will get pitched outside all day long but for Bonds, they still made the mistake of coming inside to him.
So the Torpedo bats are doing this without sacrificing length BUT there aren't a lot of positive results that come from hitting a ball off that last 2" unless it's fouling off strike 3, so I'd be inclined to taper that end down to a point and have as much mass around the 18â28" zone, tapering down to a point. I wouldn't be so subtle and the overall length might be 32. That would get the bat speed up, increase the sweet spot by a lot, and if the batter's fooled by a pitch outside, he wouldn't even hit it into that double play...

I saw that Max Muncy (Born August 25 2002) got a hit for the Sackamenna A's and was shocked that the Dodgers let him go! Turns out it's a different Max Muncy, born exactly 12 years earlier (August 25 1990), no relation.
Yeah and the Giants have picked up some guys that should at least get them into oh maybe 3rd place. I expect the Padres to collapse like the Giants have been so maybe we can Wild Card the Dodgers again.
