Mike Trout is still getting his legs underneath him as he returns to the outfield, but the Los Angeles Angels star is serious about his recovery from ongoing knee issues as he continues his comeback from a year as the Angels’ full-time DH. So much so that he’s covered 30 feet per second on the base paths, which is considered elite sprint speed by Statcast.

Despite saying I think it would be a worthless trade, I don’t like how Joe Adell plays in MLB The Show.

So by my standards, as the casual third man here, I would like Byron Buxton more on my team.

That is just me, though.

I, I don’t think that’s ridiculous to say.

It’s not ridiculous to say that.

Did Joe Adell ever get a Lightning card?

He got some sort of player of the month card.

Oh, so he did.

It was like a 96, and he had really bad contact against righties, and he was kind of useless.

Kurt Suzuki, listen up.

Yeah, work on it, bro.

Work on it.

Hall of Pretty Good or Kurt Suzuki?

The guy, bro.

The guy.

Kurt Suzuki, Ha-Hawaii legend.

Not university, I mean, just- Just from Hawaii from Hawaii, yes.

I love the Hall of Pretty Good, dude.

I wish I could meet a Hawaiian legend one day.

I don’t know any cool ones.

Sorry, I can’t help you.

Can I go on a rant?

Yeah, please.

I don’t understand this move.

I mean, pitch-wise, I like his pitch mix.

He’s a solid pitcher, but he’s 26 years old, and this, he made his debut this past year and got smacked.

I don’t understand the move.

I guess if you think you can develop him better than probably one of the best bullpen developing coaches in the league, which is the Yankees.

The Yankees find a way to develop bullpen arms no matter what.

And if they think they can do better than the Yankees, I’d be impressed.

like I said, I think his pitch mix is pretty, pretty good, but I don’t think he’s He hasn’t been effective for a lot of his career.

well, I take that back.

In– He’s played just about every level of baseball there is in the pro, like, in the main pros, like all the As, low A, high A, double A, triple A, and he’s been effective up until, like, double A, triple A, it seems.

Then he starts getting smacked, and then they moved him up.
