2010 Tater Trot Tracker Leaders

Here is a list of the slowest and quickest trots from the 2010 season. 100% of the season’s trots were watched and timed in order to compile this list. From David Ortiz and Luke Scott to Adam Rosales and Chris Heisey, it was a pretty tremendous tater trot tracking season! Slowest Trot Luke Scott – June […]

The Ten Best Tater Trots of 2010

It’s the end of the year and we all know what that means: many, many year-end lists recounting the best of 2010. I never expected to join in the fray, but then I read Jayson Stark’s “Strange But True” column from last week and it reminded me of how many great home run trots there […]

Tater Trot Tracker: World Series, Game 5

So here it is… Game 5 and we are now playing our first elimination game of the World Series. The Giants and their fans have to be hoping to take care of business tonight. After all, the more games are played, the more chances they have for another 2002-level meltdown. You need to lock things […]

Tater Trot Tracker: World Series, Game 4

Four home runs hit last night, two each by the Giants and Rangers, as the Series shifted to Texas and the Rangers fought their way back into the Series. Now down only two games to one, the Rangers hope Tommy Hunter can help them tie it up against the Giants’ Madison Bumgarner. Maybe it’s just […]

Tater Trot Tracker: World Series, Game 3

And we’re back, after a necessary (but sad nonetheless) day off. The Series has shifted to the hitter-friendly Ballpark in Arlington. And with Jonathan Sanchez on the hill, that only increases the likelihood of home runs. Let’s see if that happens. Sadly, we only had the one home run. We’ll see if the cold air […]

Tater Trot Tracker: World Series, Game 2

So, uh, who say last night’s offensive outburst coming? If you raised your hand, you’re a liar. Sadly, we only had the one home run. We’ll see if the cold air tonight helps or hurts that. I’m looking forward to another exciting game, though. I do love World Series baseball. Tonight’s tater trots should be […]

Tater Trot Tracker: World Series, Game 1

It’s been way too long since we had a baseball game, but that’s going to end in about 30 minutes time. I can’t wait. This promises to be a fun World Series, and the Tim Lincecum vs. Cliff Lee matchup tonight just sweetens the pot. I trust you all saw my Giants and Rangers World […]

Tater Trot Tracker: Championship Series, Day 6

The Yankees are looking to stay alive against the upstart Rangers while the Giants look to leap ahead of the favored Phillies to a 3-1 lead. October baseball is still the best. Tonight’s tater trots should be posted shortly after they occur in the game. Be sure to check back often. And

Tater Trot Tracker: Championship Series, Day 5

I apologize for not getting up a Tater Trot Tracker post for last night’s game (and for missing this afternoon’s game). If you were following along on Twitter, you would’ve seen that Josh Hamilton‘s first inning home run clocked in at 21.03 seconds. Thankfully, there were no home runs in the Giants/Phillies game earlier today. […]

Tater Trot Tracker: Championship Series, Day 3

Two games yesterday, two wins from teams that we’re supposed to win. That’s the kind of thing we’re looking for every October. The Giants and Phillies play Game 2 tonight and, if last night is any indication, we can probably expect three home runs from Travis Ishikawa or something. Should be fun. Today’s tater trots […]

Tater Trot Tracker: Championship Series, Day 2

Ugh. That was an ugly loss for the Rangers last night after C.J. Wilson had done such a good job of shutting the Yankees down. One of my favorite things about MLB’s playoffs, though, is how quickly the next game is played. The Rangers can come back from that meltdown less than 24 hours later […]

Tater Trot Tracker: Division Series, Day 7

With the Giants win over the Braves last night, we’re down to our last game of the Division Series: a game-five elimination between the Rangers and Rays. I don’t really know who I’m rooting for here, but I feel pretty confident I’ll be happy for whoever wins. The fact that they’ll then have to go […]

Tater Trot Tracker: Division Series, Day 6

The Twins were swept out of the playoffs on Saturday, and the Reds were swept out on Sunday. Those defending World Series participants do not mess around Oh, and boy do I feel bad for Brooks Conrad. Yes, it was his mistake and his mistake only. But, really, if a manager asks Adam Dunn to […]

Tater Trot Tracker: Division Series, Day 5

Well the Twins getting swept out of the playoffs by the Yankees again last night was depressing. That Minnesota team is a good team no matter what these three games looked like – they did win 94 games after all. For a great piece on why it’s not smart to base decisions on three games in […]
