MLB 9/2

[All The Hype]

[quote="ALL_THE_HYPE":2cqduk5i][quote="AKA Coastal":2cqduk5i]I read a article today that the Royals are probably going to trade Alberto Callaspo this winter. Not sure to what team ,but they are looking to strike while the iron is hot. I have a stash of Callaspo ,so it wouldn't hurt my feelings if he got out of KC. Anyone club need a high contact hitter with pretty poor defense? He could be a good .315 12 70rbi infielder.

And is the toughest guy in the AL to strikeout.[/quote:2cqduk5i]


No kidding. He has more BB's than K's. Only 33K's in almost 500AB's.[/quote:2cqduk5i]


It's really pretty unbelievable actually, that's like a 6.2% strikeout rate.

They just said in the Tigers game that Placido Polanco is the 2nd toughest guy in the AL to strikeout behind Callaspo.

Porcello's night over: 7+ IP, 2 ER, 4 H, 1 K, 0 BB


And he's on for the win if Rodney can hold the Indians down in the 9th. Porcello has been completely in command lately. He has given up 2 runs or fewer in 5 of his last 6 starts.

He's a very good candidate for a long hit streak. He's put a few good ones together this year.

Considering the power numbers he puts up, Pujols having 55 Ks in 570 PA is more impressive, but he does this every year. :lol:

Another note on the Tigers/ Indians game today...Cleveland has made 5 errors in the game :?

Absolutely, Pujols is the best hitter in the game by far.

You're exactly right though, it's one thing to get the bat on the ball 90%+ of the time...it's another thing entirely to get the bat on the ball 90%+ of the time AND lead the league with 42 homers and counting.

Tigers win, Porcello now has 12 wins on the year.
