My time covering the sport is you get players who are sort of at the fringe of the game and they have those moments.
When I was covering the Orioles back in the 90s, they acquired a third baseman named Jeff Manto, who I think hit five homers over the course of two days.
His dad was a judge in the Philadelphia area.
We got to learn something about it, and he knew it.
Just talking with him on a daily basis, I would see him as a coach for years after, bump into him, and we'd talk about how cool that was that he had that opportunity.
I think that's how everyone's feeling about Tyler Tolbert today.
I'll say the best baseball player of all time because he's doing these things.
He's pitching great, and he's an elite hitter at the same time.
And Babe Ruth never really did that.
That's the guy he's always compared to.
And I've been thinking about this because he's been dealing with nagging injuries this year.
He's had this bicep issue where in his last start as a pitcher so that when he was taking swings –
He didn't feel completely comfortable, and so they pinch hit for him late in that game, and then he sat out the next day.
And Dave Roberts, the Dodgers manager, said that's gone away.
It's just something that he's had a couple times.
He's maintaining that.
He's had this issue with some soreness in his left knee, which is a big deal because as a pitcher, that's your land leg as a right-handed pitcher.
And all of it is a reminder to me that this is all fleeting, right?
And that we should enjoy this.
This is getting to watch, you know, Babe Ruth in 1927.
