    My feeling is that he is better off being a pitcher or a position player rather than both. He has been in and out of the lineup due to injuries. It’s great he can do both but I think it has a cost and now you can see why I would not have him play both positions.

    With the salary the Angels are paying him it is not cost effective if he is constantly in and out and now it looks like he might be out a year at least with Tommy John surgery.

              In a potential Wild Card Game preview, the A's take 2 of 3 from the Yankees in Oakland. Could've swept if we had some offense yesterday and Familia didn't decide to become Santiago Casilla, but that's baseball

                no (especially because "trigger words" aren't a thing and the way it's been co-opted as a joke/meme is actively hurting people with anxiety/PTSD/etc as it has stripped them of their vocabulary) and it's very clear you don't know how the hell triggers work so it's not worth my time expanding on

                    I know how triggers work. I pull the trigger when my crosshairs, or bead is on target, and the gun fires. The deer dies, or the clay breaks. Its really quite simple.

                      FWIW, I believe it was the longest home run ever hit at Coors Field.

                      Also, I know a lot of people have a bias against the Rockies' hitters due to Coors Field. For those of you who feel that way, should we just give the Cy Young to Kyle Freeland right now?

                        He hit a ball 505ft. That doesn't impress you? Does it need to go 600 feet cuz it's at Coors?
                        While Story's average distance does lead the mlb at 415 feet, that's only one foot longer than Acuna Jr.'s average of 414 feet.
                        If Coors makes that much of a difference in 2018 Storys average should be 15-20 feet longer than the second place guy. Not one foot

                          I really don't care one way or another, but that logic is very flawed.

                              Of course it is. I didnt want to do more research though. The fact that I went that far makes me feel awful the way it is.

                                The A's just scored ten runs in the third inning against Baltimore. 15 plate appearances. Two hits each for Nick Martini, Jonathan Lucroy, and Matt Chapman (who had RBIs on both hits).
