And I don't know, perhaps we should consider not pitching to Mike Trout.

0:20.5

Maybe.

Since he's Mike Trout of 10 years ago, I don't know. Can you hit a single? I mean, the guy hits nothing but home runs. I think those are the only, he had nothing but home runs in the series. Walks and homers. Six for 16 in the series, five home runs. My goodness. New York Yankees drop one this afternoon. So a game over 500. Of course, in Queens, you've got the listless Mets.

To be fair about it, but a win's a win, matter how you get it, you count the dubs, stack them up. as much as you can, there will be games that go the other way,
