    Acuna hit the shit out of that ball today, upper deck no doubter.... and as it stands now he's 3-4 and a triple shy of a cycle.

    I know the feeling. This is the worst Twins bullpen I can remember.

    Your catcher needs to be slapped directly across the face, as hard as possible. Good LORD man. I don’t remember that many passed balls in two games.

    Why not just have a plate that says "DOUCHE"?

    Not nice of him to steal Ichiro’s license plate like that.

    They could've at least waited till after this weekend...the Angels and Ohtani are coming to town for a series tomorrow. Ichiro said he wanted to pitch against Ohtani, they should've given him the chance.

    Well his agent says this keeps him free for 2019, and he's definitely not considering this change of jobs "retiring."
    Dude does not wanna give up.

    It would be hilarious if they referred to Ichiro on MLB broadcasts as “The World Hit King”...especially since Rose can’t exactly go on MLB broadcasts to give his side of the story.

    I heard that since the Mariners are opening up in Japan next year, he wants to hit there. That would be awesome.

    It's funny. The last time somebody was about to break a major record (Bonds, total HR) everybody wanted celebrate and figure out a way to call the other guy (Aaron) the real King. Now, everybody wants the other guy (Rose) to disappear and find a way to call the new guy (Ichiro) the King. Gee, it's almost like people respect a guy for being a class act and not a cheater more than they do the numbers.

    “Professional Baseball’s Hit King”

    ...because that is exactly what he is. They don’t have to use “Major League Baseball”, instead just say that Ichiro is the best hitter in the history of the entire world.

    I just want the entire approach to their game to change. Stop relying on the long ball. Start playing small ball and focus on getting on base.


    And hell with our pitching coach.

    Sometimes we take how good the all time greats were for granted....

    I was going through some cards and came across a '63 Stan Musial. I flipped it over to look at the stats and in 1962, at 41 years old, he hit .330 with 19 HR and 82 RBI. The hell of it is, he actually LOWERED his lifetime batting average by batting a paltry .330.

    Not only that, look at all those triples early in his career. Holy shit.
