[All The Hype]

Good to see BJax with that homer, hopefully he'll get hot down the stretch. He could be big for the Cubs in the future if he can cut down on the Ks.


I'm watching Detroit v Anaheim and looking forward to watching Porcello pitch and getting a chance to see Mike Trout play against Miguel Cabrera (AL MVP frontrunners). Still trying to figure out why Zack Greinke's hat is always two sizes too big.

David Ortiz 2 RBI single on his first pitch back from the DL.

 

[cubfanbudman]

Hottest hitter in baseball a single short of the cycle.

Adrian Beltre 3-3 tonight HR, 3B and 2B

Who does that? lol

 

[gt2590]

Who does that? lol

A coupla guys did it last month. I know one was Hill from AZ, forget the other...

Kyle Kendrick ('07 Draft) is throwing his third straight scoreless Start.

And Harrison from the Rangers hasn't allowed a hit thru Six innings...

Always humorous to see a player a hit short of the cycle being of the easiest variety. Wait....so Hill could have had 3 cycles this season?? Crazy!


Harrison is on my fantasy team so I'm glad to see him pitching well....here's hoping he finishes strong!

Chris Davis had a shot at a 4 homer game tonight but struck out

Apparently (I find it hard to believe but I guess it could be) it was the first time in MLB history that one team was involved in back to back 3 HR games....the O's coughed up 3 HR to Beltre and Davis hit 3 tonight vs Tor

Whatta' bum. He should stick to pitching.

It appears that Beltre has singled.

Haha, I was sitting in my office when he was being interviewed and I overheard that he was one of three players in MLB history to have a W as a pitcher and a 3 HR game...I know Babe Ruth was one and I could've swore he said "JIM THOME" was the other....but I cannot remember Thome EVER pitching...anyone know?

Leatherman?

 

[markakis8]

Congrats to Beltre on the cycle. I'm fully convinced with another 3-4 above average years, he'll be a HOF.
