Legendary slugger and 2014 Hall of Famer Frank Thomas joined Fox as a baseball analyst this season, and I’ve enjoyed his work with Gabe Kapler, CJ Nitkowski and co. so far. The whole operation comes off as mostly levelheaded and intelligent about baseball on FS1. That said, he has some thoughts that come off a little tinfoil-y.
The man known as “The Big Hurt” tweeted this early on Wednesday morning:
Lets make sure this is Real!!! The Baseballs don’t fly like this in April!! Trust Me the Balls are Doctored!! Enough Said!!

Well, enough said. Honestly, I hadn’t noticed there being a particularly large number of home runs to start until Ryan Braun hit three last night. That said, you have to admire Thomas’… uh, dedication to the truth. He knows hot Aprils, after all.
Trust Me I have Pounded many Baseballs in April they don’t carry into the seats like this!!! Nice Try!!!

We’ll take your word for it, Hurt.
