It’s barely been two weeks since David Ortiz set the record for the slowest (non-injury) trot of the Tater Trot Tracker-era, and he’s at it again. With his blast Friday night in Toronto, Ortiz became the first person to break the half-minute barrier on three separate occasions. That means that, of the seven non-injury-related tater […]

David Ortiz is certainly a pioneer. In 2010, Big Papi was the first player to break the 30-second barrier since the start of this website, when he took 30.59 seconds to round the bases following a blast off of Tampa Bay’s Wade Davis.

Considering that it took Pujols until May 29 last year before he hit his eighth home run, you’d be forgiven if you didn’t realize that he entered tonight’s game at Nationals Park only […]

Let’s get right to the trots!

The big story of Sunday afternoon was the Brewers/Pirates brawl that came about after Pittsburgh pitcher Gerrit Cole yelled at Milwaukee centerfielder Carlos Gomez for admiring a ball that bounced off the outfield wall that the speedy Gomez turned into a triple. The fracas caused quite the uproar among baseball fans, but I’m upset about […]

A late start thanks to the Easter holiday (and some beautiful weather), so let’s get right to the trots!

Catching up on a few days worth of trots here, so let’s get right to business.

There’s a wonderful update to the last week’s story about David Ortiz setting the record for slowest (non-injury) trot of the Tater Trot Tracker era.

This might be my favorite article on the Tater Trot Tracker that I’ve seen as the Wall Street Cheat Sheet runs down the six slowest (non-injury) trots of the Tater Trot Tracker-era. Now let’s get to the trots!
