They both get talked about a lot on the baseball sub on Reddit.

 

For those who don't know.  TOOTBLAN is Thrown Out On The Basepaths Like A Nincompoop and  FARTSLAM is Fielder Allows Runner To Score Like A Moron

[PDX Twin]

Way to go, Lewis!

That's some next level analytics. How do they quantify "nincompoop" and "moron"? lol

 

 

Great inning by Thorpe

[mrtwinsfan]

This Jim Thorpe kid looking good  out there

[bighat]

Thorpe looking good, I'd roll with him next inning also, hope Rocco does.

He keeps himself in shape, considering he's over 100 years old.

Sure hope they don't get too invested.  That path was pioneered by eugenicists.
