I decided to check, and maybe the silliest part of this (other than the whole 163 games per 162 games thing), is that that doubles rate wouldn't be the single-season record.

I *think* I got the best 50 at bat stretch from Tulo's September 2010. Side note - does Chris Shelton still lay in bed at night wondering what the Hell happened? Edit - Nevermind. Forgot BAbip subtracts out HRs. Tony Phillips fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Jun 6, 2014 |

Maldonado hit the cover off a ball, though, so he's got that going for him.

How quickly we forget Bryan LaHair's torrid April 2012, which allowed him to get into the All-Star Game

Someone find Lance Berkman's insane 50-75 (maybe 100) PA. I think he was batting .600 and had an OPS close to 2. I've never seen anything quite like it.

Storm posted:Still, batting .388 with a .212 BABIP is kind of nuts Yeah - My edit was originally questioning if that was right, but had forgotten how BAbip was calculated. 12 HRs in 19 hits will throw that off pretty bad.

Crion posted:I'll give you credit, the idea of moving Jonathan Lucroy off catcher is one I'd literally never considered (because it's downright insane, Lucroy is one of the best catchers in baseball) OK, yeah, maybe my giant glowing optimism about the Brewers this year is making me a bit blind. Also, I think that folks would be calling Lucroy the best catcher in baseball if his last name was Molina, tbh. I just want to believe that we can do better than Mark Reynolds striking out 200 times at first base. I mean, look at the career single-season strikeout records: http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/SO_season.shtml Mark Reynolds is number 1, 4, 6, and 12 on there. If the Brewers aren't going to spend for a 1st baseman, I think having Maldonado in the lineup is less dumb than having Reynolds.

Trying to pry Seth Smith free from the Padres for a low-level prospect, platooning him with Reynolds at 1B, and shooting Lyle Overbay into the sun is probably a better dream scenario for this year's Brewers than moving Lucroy and Maldonado around

Goodnight Sweet Prince I seem to remember JeffersonLives posting a fairly informative post about how the pitch count during the (*cough* Beltran *cough*) no hitter pretty clearly had nothing to do with his injury. On that note - anyone know where he's been? Don't remember seeing him post in months.

While we're posting ridiculous lines, let us not forget George Brett in 1980. Hitting .475 over 270 plate appearances is just absurd...

Ryan Howard, batting .228, .300 OBP, 3rd in NL in RBIs Dominic Brown, OPS of .569, has more RBIs (30) than Chase Utley (29) Abolish the RBI e: Brown is 30th in RBIs with a loving .569 OPS, the closest ranking batters to that OPS are Jedd Gyorko, who has 24 RBIs (52nd) with a .482 OPS, and Yonder Alonso, who has 19 RBIs (68th) with a .585 OPS, both San Diego proud The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Jun 7, 2014 |

Quest For Glory II posted:They're definitely not, although they have a couple of games where they just randomly explode. But I'm definitely looking forward to Ryan Howard finishing top 10 in MVP voting with a .235 batting average because HRs and RBIs Just Means Clutch RBIs were cited as one of the reasons Mike Moustakas was still with the big league club a while back (before they sent him down for a whole week and now he's totally fixed). If dingers came along with the RBIs I'd actually be pretty cool with him because Royals. He's like 7th on the team by the way and they were lying through their teeth, but whatever.

I can't find the newbie MLB thread anymore, so how should this have been scored? http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/63817564/v33497591/ladcol-rockies-challenge-in-7th-call-overturned It was scored three different ways during the game. A double with a put out. A single with a put out. Now it's a "M Kemp singled to deep center, M Kemp out stretching at second." which is different than it was at the end of the game. So what SHOULD the scoring have been? Note that the challenge was at second, not at first, but the first out is at first because of the Lopes touch. Also V: The SNLA folks (the guys who call the game for the Dodgers) had no clue of what happened at first base. Kudos to the Rockies broadcasting team for picking it up.
