Here is a list of the slowest and quickest trots from the 2011 season. Due to unforeseen issues throughout the season, roughly 75% of the season’s trots were watched and timed in order to compile this list. It is possible that slower or quicker trots were recorded during the remaining 25% of games. Apologies for the […]

A light day for home runs – in the majors at least. The minors were a different story. Monday did have good news in one form, though. It was the day Major League Baseball welcomed Adam Rosales back to the field. There will be more on that in a minute. For now, let’s get to […]

Another day, another three-home run game. How boring! How about some trots?! Home Run of the Day: Carlos Quentin #3, Chicago White Sox – 21.98 seconds [video] I hope it’s obvious that I don’t actually think a three home run game is boring.

I’m not sure I’ve ever had a day with such a tight competition for the Home Run of the Day. Here in Milwaukee, Corey Hart hit his first, second, and third home runs of the year in the Brewers’ 11-3 rout of the Nationals. In San Diego, Albert Pujols hit his first home run in […]

The first weekend of interleague play is now concluded, and what have we learned? Players can hit balls just as hard off opposing league pitchers as they can off their own league’s pitchers. It’s pretty amazing, really. I can’t way for when interleague arrives in June for real (for five series in a row instead […]
