I knew I could buzz a wiffle ball at a very high mph, but...

 

That was extremely impressive, but that’s not the wiffleball that I remember as a child. The ball I remember was about the size of a softball and was perforated all over, there was more hole than plastic. I remember as a little boy trying to throw them just as hard as I could, and they didn’t travel any farther than a wadded up piece of notebook paper.

I’d like to know what that fella can do with a real baseball?

Oh, so it's still a drug reference...I was thinking something else.  But not play on the side, kinda the opposite actually.

Roll a fatty...

?Bating?

?Cow Tipping?

?Eating Taco Bell?

Probably not much with a real baseball, but likely 70+ based on arm action and coordination.

This is the official Wiffle Ball TM.

Second time this week Alberto has tried to pivot too soon, before he had the ball on a double play ball.

Yea, in the 80's.

OK. Here's a softball:

It's 2020: start Gary Pettis or Dwight Smith Jr. in Left Field?

[SteveA]

I doubt we would have gotten the DP, but damn am Ibtires of seeing guys have trouble getting the ball out of their glove.  It's been an epidemic the past week or so.

[Philip]

That needs to be an error, and I am disgusted that they’re being so easy on him. That was a tailor-made made double play and he screwed it up

First I have to check and see if Gary is still alive.

 

OK, he's 62 but he still looks like he can cover more ground than Smith.

Like the catcher cross ups across the league, this may be the result of the suspended Spring Training and shortened pre-season practice.
