I mean . . . duh! Just look how this coach was holding the bat and swinging it. I've heard of "choking up" but this was just ridiculous. The solution? Make bats smaller! Save the trees! Dear MLB, are you listening? Y'all need to get out in front of this lifeordeath issue! You're welcome for the free PR advice.

In other news, don't listen to anything I just said. In fact, leave me alone, at least for today. I felt sick at this game (food poisoning remnants) and probably should've skipped it, but I couldn't resist showing up at Tropicana Field to see my favorite player: Mike Trout.

Tampa Bay Rays vs. Los Angeles Angels. How did Trout do? How many baseballs did I catch? Which rookie was going for his first MLB home run?What's the most depressing (or most relaxing, depending on your perspective) section in the stadium?
