Are you always going to be so awesome, Mike Trout?

Wow! that is an incredible throw! And those two plays were in the 10th and 11th innings.

If you have Fox Deportes, you can watch the aftermath of River Plate players being pepper sprayed as the returned to the field to play Boca Juniors after the half in the Copa Libertadores.

It still sounds like hyperbole to say (and I still have issues with positional adjustment for WAR, but whatevs), and yeah a lot can happen in a long career... but wow, we really are watching a generational-level player in Trout.
And as much as people might have complained about it, thank god for challenge reviews; it really doesn't take much time, and as shown here can ensure the right call is made, not just the quickest.
