He was like, what’s your name? And I was like, what? He was like, WHAT IS YOUR NAME? I was like, Tony. So I says, WHAT’S YOUR NAME? He goes, Ezekiel. Then something about a fire. I don’t remember—I got hit in the head.

The experience of being in a batting slump is that it feels like a labyrinth. One feels trapped, alone, and disoriented. When you finally get out you are relieved and can’t believe how easy it was to find the exit. Unfortunately, that exit eventually leads to another labyrinth.

On first base at Target Field during a game, I turn to Joe. 'Used to watch your batting vids every day after school' I tell him. Joe smiles and responds, 'That's incredibly generous of you, thank you!' At 34 years old, I was starstruck meeting him. Now, he's HOF! Congrats, Joe!

Thing that stands out to me about our great pitchers, Greinke, Kershaw, Verlander, Scherzer. They sit on their teams bench and watch the entire game. For years, as I walk up to bat, I’ll look over at the other bench and see Greinke’s face behind dugout mesh, looking for intel.
Zack Greinke once threw Joey Votto nothing but hanging sliders because he believed Votto recognized spin better than anyone in baseball—and he knew Votto would expect the pitch to break out of the zone.
Votto on Greinke: "I f— with this guy.”
Ten stories that explain why…

Hitting is not about muscle. It's simple physics. Calculate the velocity, V, in relation to the trajectory, T, in which G, gravity, of course, remains a constant.

From 8 or 9 years old, my father and I would play catch together. In retrospect, to me, it was the most important thing we did together. It strengthened our bond. In Field of Dreams, the movie ends with the main character, Ray, and the ghost of his father having “a catch”.

This is not how we work as hitters. A lot of us set targets. If a ballpark has an area that we can take advantage of, we will.
I predict Judge would have had this exact year at any park because of how powerful and skilled he is.
If Aaron Judge played every game so far this season in each MLB ballpark, here are his expected HR totals.
Notably, Yankee Stadium didn't even crack the top 10.
To no surprise, Coors Field comes in at number one where Judge would be in the hunt to break Bonds' record.
