In the early 2000s NBA there seemed to be a number of MJ clones; no one as good as MJ but these hyper athletic two guards, like Kobe, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Jason Richardson, etc.
It feels like now we have a bunch of Mike Trout clones, nobody quite as good as Trout, but a bunch of big dudes that can hit for power and flat out fly.
Hmmm
Thanks for local flavor
My weather app is saying 68 degrees and cloudy but dry
wet this morning?
There have been rumblings all season about him being immature—not hustling, showboating, arguing with teammates about stuff, being a bit of a prima donna. Guess it boiled over somehow. Conveniently, he’s sitting his 2 games vs KC.
9-7 Reds now after 5, Joey Votto has 2 HRs and a 1.550 OPS. What a great story they are!!
It’s standing room only at Great American Ballpark. De La Cruz and Votto have had the place rocking with their homeruns and hits.
Elly hit for the cycle tonight. First for the Reds since 1989.

It was former Waterbury Red Eric Davis, also a #44.
The Reds reliever in the top of the 8th strikes out the side while also giving up three solo HR's. You just don't see that everyday!
I wonder if the guys from the 1899 Reds are worried about their record winning streak being broken.
Too much Jeter in this pregame show but it’s kind of hysterical. Can’t tell if Arod is a great actor or genuinely does not hate Jeter. Part about moving to a new position and not even glancing over at Jeter was great.
Happy Happy Joy Joy for the Cubbies. Ian with 2 HR's. They lead the Cards 3-0 in the top of the 3rd. Now 5-0 in the mid.
All I can think as I watch the "Happless" Cards is How on Earth did this team beat the Sox? And how awful.
Outman is such a fantastic name for a centerfielder. (well, on defense at least, and especially on diving catches)
Dodgers take the lead in the 8th (vs HOU) on a balk

I was thinking about this the other day. Of all the traditionally bad teams, are the Rockies most likely never to turn it around someday ... just be cause of how they're run as an organization?
weird fact - his birthday is February 15.
So was that actually a balk? Stanek has strong Kenny Powers vibes.
Somehow even though they’ve scored 23 runs Ohtani is only 1 for 5 so far. And they just pinch hit for Trout
Trout, Hunter Renfroe, and Mickey Moniak are a combined 12-12 with four doubles, two homers, and 9 RBI.
