If this post took the word “anatomy” used in the headline to its illogical conclusion, it would describe the “anatomy” in terms of the 200-or-so pounds of American male from the great state of New Jersey, consisting mainly of very fast twitch muscle fibers. How sinewy legs fired like pistons as the featured participant of the play in question from yesterday’s Reds/Angels game – a game the Reds went on to win 5-4 – put his team in position to score with his heart, his head, and his physical gifts.
This post won’t really do that. It will instead detail the manner in which Mike Trout, by force of sheer athletic will, stole second base from Shin-Soo Choo in the seventh inning. It will also detail the manner in which Emilio Bonifacio sensed an opportunity and exploited Michael Bourn so badly you’d think Bourn worked at Foxconn, not Progressive Field.
