It’s almost difficult to put into words just how good Major Leaguers are at baseball. Every player on a big league roster is a legend at their former schools and hometowns. They’re truly the best baseball players in the world. It’s preposterous that human beings are even capable of making contact against MLB pitching, and that’s only possible because MLB batters are out-of-this-world great at baseball.
I really want you to remember that before you see what happened to the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday against the Yankees.
With Josh Donaldson at the plate with the bases loaded and two outs, Tigers pitcher Tyler Alexander seemingly escaped the first-inning jam by forcing Donaldson to pop up a solid 20 feet shy of the mound. The Yankees, though, scored two runs on that pop fly.
