Sorry for the late and brief post again. Busy day at work kept me from doing the normal lunchtime post. Hopefully that’ll settle down tomorrow and Wednesday. Home Run of the Day: Jason Heyward, Atlanta Braves #2 (Trot Time: 21.57 seconds) [video] Jason Heyward and Omar Infante both hit two home runs in the Braves’ 14-6 […]

This is up pretty late tonight, so it’s going to be brief. I’m busy entertaining some guests this weekend, so things are a bit late. Just FYI… Home Run of the Day: Russell Branyan, Seattle Mariners (Trot Time: 27.73 seconds) [video] That was an absolute monster blast by Russell Branyan in Yankee Stadium yesterday. First blast […]

This is up pretty late tonight, so it’s going to be brief. I’m busy entertaining some guests this weekend, so the post may be up late tomorrow as well. Just FYI… Home Run of the Day: Lyle Overbay, Toronto Blue Jays #2 (Trot Time: 20.97 seconds) [video] No big home runs yesterday, so we’ll just go […]

Home Run of the Day: Carlos Lee, Houston Astros (Trot Time: 26.53 seconds) [video] There weren’t a whole lot of exciting or big home runs hit yesterday, among the twenty homers hit. This seventh-inning, three-run bomb by Carlos Lee that put the Astros ahead 3-2 for good is the closest thing. And it was big and […]

Home Run of the Day: Joe Mauer, Minnesota Twins (Trot Time: 20.65 seconds) [video] It should not be forgotten that Joe Mauer is having another awesome year. Maybe everyone has forgotten to notice that because they remember his less-than-hot start, but that’s all out the window these days. He’s hitting .430 in the month since the […]

Home Run of the Day: Jose Bautista, Toronto Blue Jays (Trot Time: 16.86 seconds) [video] I’m calling this a pseudo-inside-the-park-home-run, just like David DeJesus‘s back in April. The home run was ruled, after the game, as a standard, non-inside-the-park variety tater, but that’s not how it played out on the field. Oakland’s Conor Jackson tried to […]

Home Run of the Day: Steve Hill, St. Louis Cardinals (Trot Time: 21.82 seconds) [video] What do you do if you’re playing in your first career game at the big league level in front of the home fans against your biggest rival? Well, if you’re Steve Hill of the St. Louis Cardinals, you hit a ninth-inning, […]

I know this is a week late, but, hey, I had 146 home runs to watch… While I was at the SABR 40 conference in Atlanta last weekend, I was unable to do the Tater Trot Tracker for home runs hit those days. With the crappy internet situation at the hotel, it just wasn’t going […]

Home Run of the Day: Alex Rodriguez, New York Yankees #3 (Trot Time: 26.08 seconds) [video] I wish I was a writer for the New York media because, if I were, I’d be able to tell you just what this three home run game from A-Rod means. Instead, all I can say is that he had […]

Home Run of the Day: Nelson Cruz, Texas Rangers (Trot Time: 22.39 seconds) [video] To cap off a nine home run day between the two teams, Texas’ Nelson Cruz crushed an eleventh inning homer off of a dancing knuckler from Tim Wakefield to win the game for the Rangers. Boston’s J.D. Drew had two home runs […]

Home Run of the Day: Ryan Ludwick, San Diego Padres (Trot Time: 19.5 seconds) [video] There was nothing too special about this home run – it extended the Padres’ lead to 3-0 in the sixth inning. It’s the home run of the day, though, because of the awesome uniforms the Padres & Pirates were wearing in […]

Home Run of the Day: Stephen Drew, Arizona Diamondbacks (Trot Time: 19.95 seconds) [video] When Adam LaRoche dug in to face Dave Bush in the fourth inning of last night’s ballgame, there was one out and the D-backs were down 2-0. Four at-bats later, there was still one out in the fourth but the D-backs were […]

Home Run of the Day: Jason Heyward (Trot Time: 19.45 seconds) [video] Baltimore’s Brian Roberts hit a walkoff home run for the O’s last night to continue their hot streak (and only half-an-inning after Paul Konerko blasted one out to tie the game up for the White Sox). That would normally be enough for Home […]
