There's got to be some pitchers out there like, Coach, let me get an A-B.
But this is the part.
This is the only part.
I understand that this is the part that frustrates me.
I would say just in general, wherever it is, that language barrier...
and baseball and foreignness makes someone not the star they should be because in the sport of Mike Trout, somebody who hits and pitches what he just did is so Ruthian, so super heroic.
The people who appreciate baseball understand that no other human being who has ever lived
has that collection of talents in his body.
It's the kind of game he just had.
If we sent a major leaguer to play against sixth graders, where he'll hit three home runs, and one of them will be further than any of the sixth graders I've ever seen.
He's playing against all other major leaguers.
They can't hit him at 100 miles an hour, and he hits the ball further than I've ever seen it hit.
How did that happen?
How is that possible?
And Rendon.
They paid $250 million for him, too, and then they had no pitching is how it happened.
It's total.
What that man just did, what I was beginning to say is, I wish the American media knew how to cover this person in a way that would grant him the stardom that would make him a bigger thing beyond over the line.
This is no problem in Japan, obviously, right?
They recognize the history of the game.
