Home Run of the Day: Jose Fernandez, Miami Marlins – 28.58 seconds [video] A 21-year-old superstar […]

Let's get right to the trots! Home Run of the Day: Marlon Byrd, Pittsburgh Pirates – 24.2 seconds [video] In his first game as a member of the Pirates, Marlon Byrd crushed this over the center field fence. Pittsburgh fans were more than appreciative, making Byrd come out for a curtain call as the Pirates […]

Way to go, Miggy! The trot officially clocked in at 30.94 seconds. Here’s how it came about: Cabrera […]

Let's get right to the trots! Your browser does not support iframes. Home Run of the Day: Yasiel Puig, Los Angeles Dodgers – 16.98 seconds [video] This pinch-hit home run is a thing of beauty. The only thing that could have made it better was if the ball slammed into the home run sculpture out […]

Corporan sprinted hard around the bases, but his trot clocked in at more than 20 seconds thanks to the moments he took admiring the […]

Two players hit their first career home runs on Thursday. That's happened before, of course, but I don't think it happens outside of September all too often. Of course, one of the players who did so was on the Marlins, so that almost certainly skews the results… Let's get to the trots! Home Run of […]

Let's get right to the trots! Home Run of the Day: Justin Upton, Atlanta Braves – 23.74 seconds [video] Not to harp on the Braves/Nationals series for yet another day, but there were few other memorable trots on Wednesday night. Let's recap real quick: Monday night, Upton crushed a ball down the left field line […]

Seventeen players hit home runs on Thursday. Four of those seventeen hit two home runs each. That has to be some kind of record. Let's get to the trots! Home Run of the Day: Chris Davis, Baltimore Orioles – 26.26 seconds [video] Davis was not one of those four players, but he did crush a […]

Three walkoff home runs in only nine games yesterday! What are the odds of that? Even better, how does one choose which walkoff to award Home Run of the Day? Decisions, decisions. Let's get to those trots. Home Run of the Day: Jason Giambi, Cleveland Indians – 22.92 seconds [video] At 42 years old, Giambi […]

Quiet. A master is at work. Home Run of the Day: Yasiel Puig, Los Angeles Dodgers – 19.11* seconds [video] Bottom of the 11th inning in a scoreless game. With one swing of the bat, Yasiel Puig grows his legend even more. As the ball sails over the fence, Puig flips his bat in triumph […]

I know, I know. It's been a long week of returning to baseball after the All-Star break. My apologies. Things should get back to normal pretty soon around here. As an apology, enjoy this Heathcliff comic strip: Let's get to the trots! Home Run of the Day: Bryce Harper, Washington Nationals – 19.33* seconds [video] […]
