Some people meed to getp out this weekend on the trail with a good GPS watch (not apple without data), and actually try to run an eight min mile. It’s going to be a rude awakening.

I wouldn’t be surprised that a lot of MLB players run 8 min miles because the sample set of above average athletes likely includes being able to move that quickly. And I am sure a ton of them run to stay fit. But Eloy doesn’t necessarily need to run an 8 min mile to do his job at all. I’m guessing he just isn’t loaded with a lot of quick twitch muscle fiber, and people like that when required to do sudden athletic movements tend to pull things more often than quick twitch people

It’s anerobic. Baseball movement is short bursts of glycogen burns.

Just to note, I”d say an 8 min mile is moving pretty good. Most people are gonna be pretty happy being able to move that fast, that’s athletic. And especially a 24 min 5k. That aside, baseball is not really an aerobic sport. Especially endurance not really needed. Just strength and fitness overall.

I’d like to see you demonstrate that. If you’re a professional race walker, then sure.

If you were running an 8 minute mile at 6’5, you’re cardio was pretty great. It’s not 5 miles in 40 minutes, but that was pretty good.

Pro wrestling? They don’t play hockey in Cuba. If they played football, Moncada doesn’t fit in with screaming coaches yelling “LETS GO!”. *Moncada saunters onto the gridiron.*

It’s all relative, and it’s a bottom line business.

Maybe if it’s all the same to anyone, then you just roll with whoever seems to be most physically ready to bring his stuff and go the longest. Whoever.

We can’t tell what’s in a person’s heart, but if you didn’t get the impression he had no heart, not sure what didn’t give you that impression

Moncada looks outwardly he has all the passion of a corpse at a wake

Montgomery is the type guy the Yankees would unload on some poor sap team like they did Blake Rutherford.

Stopped reading at: “The cost of pitching this offseason, it’s skyrocketed as far as the guys that have the high K percentages,” Not something you’d be reading on Dodgers blogs. Thanks, about what I’d expect.

That was always the fear with Cease too. I’m not sure it makes a huge amount of difference by waiting. It would take more time than the Sox have to pump up his value to where we would be satisfied. In a different era where teams weren’t holding onto prospects, there could be more upside to waiting. We should just make our peace with the idea that we aren’t going to get what we’re looking for.

I hesitate to categorize what it is that’s being done, but it feels like it’s what’s being offered at a tailgate that nobody wants to try because it doesn’t look quite right.

If home plate was 12:30 from where Oscar was, I’d say the sun was at like 2:30, 3:00

Sloan Park Saturday. I was in the bleachers behind him, under the roof. Came out from under to check if the sun was in his eyes. No, it wasn’t

If a tree falls in the forest……

Looks like a tradeable asset.

Can’t thank the governor enough for treating Jerry like dirt last year

It’s funny, I was at Saturday’s game, and even Cubs fans were offended at my Sox negativity 🤣😉 This must mean something.

You say that like it’s not the Sox fault for how people react to them
