But with this handy infographic*, you can see how Trea matches up against some of the fastest (and slowest) animals of the land and sea. He may not be cheetah-fast, but he’ll leave a lot of animals in the dust, even if he doesn’t have the water-propelled jet action of a flying squid.

With the recent call up of Cat Latos’s dad (Mat Latos), we here at Resting Pitchface thought that now would be an appropriate time to revisit a topic briefly touched upon in an earlier show.
Baseball pet names.
No, not dugout nicknames or the nicknames we as fans come up with at home that will never grace a player’s ears (Michael A Taylor, it’s probably best you don’t know how often we refer to you as ‘Bambi’), but the names of baseball pets and pets named for baseball. Brainstorming has been done, and here’s a short list of some of our favorites:
Multipurpose:
Dogs:
Cats:
Reptiles:
Other:
This is something we’d love listener participation in! If you’ve got a suggestion or a favorite, please let us know! Especially if it is something you’ve already named a pet (and if so, please, pictures?). Submit your comments to us on tumblr, on our twitter, or at restingpitchface@gmail.com.
