Randy Moss if he played baseball
Beating out the first basemen (who had a great snag himself) to first on that infield hit is one of the most impressive things I've seen in a long time.

Its abnormal breh.
Baseball really in a good spot going forward the next few years. Elly is amazing to watch, Acuna is great, Corbin Carrol has become one of the best hitters in the league as a rookie, Randy Arozarena is exciting to watch, Julio Rodriguez, Bo Bichette, Yordan Alvarez and Wander Franco 
Baseball has the best athletes playing in a while and it's very fun to watch. Used to be power or speed and these young guys bringing both and playing premium defensive positions.

That's always the biggest variable. I also think you have to wonder what happens when he gets that first big bag. Does the incentive to hustle this hard diminish slightly (if only for self preservation)?
like real talk MLB really needs this and these type of players to bring back the national fan base
shyt is crazy, it’s damn near the end of June and on ‘get up’ - ‘first take‘ - ‘the herd’ - ‘carton’ basically all the ESPN/FS1 sport shows are talking about Bradley Beal trade / Lillard going to the Miami Heat / CP3 going to the Lakers or Clippers & the up-and-coming NBA draft this Thursday
no MLB talk at all , its the mid point of the season

My son’s amazing improvement over the year and being baseball fast has me excited. He’s giving a fukk about football less and less and now loves he game.
Im trying to coach both the Young AA brehs in our town.

I think it'll take some time to really get the casual fan back into baseball. Even though the Ohtanis, Acunas and De La Cruz's are doing amazing and historical things, casual fans are just used to late June-August being dead outside of summer league and NBA/NFL offseason talk. And the programming of these talk shows reflects that. Baseball is a regional sport, so it's hard to get national attention on it outside of the LCS/WS
I really think the pitch clock and the related rules will increase the popularity tho
Was this after his ACL injury? If so, then
Acuna might legit be a 40/40 candidate this year too. His HR pace is a little behind right now though, but he's on pace for more than 40+ SBs and at least 30+ HRs.
Edit - Nevermind, saw the date on the Tweet.
Who, out of the shows you mentioned, would you bother listening to trying to act like they knew shyt about baseball? Their basketball talk is surface level at best, but easily relatable to people who only like talking bball at surface level (clutch gene, did this team lose the game or that team won it, off-season/trade deadline moves)
