DH Game 2 Thread

[Garmel]

80 grade bloop.

 

[Enscheff]

Camargo spraying the ball.

 

[mfree80]

Hmm, at what point do they put the guy with a .380 OBP in front of him?

Tell us how you feel about that. We are wondering!

 

[Enscheff]

And there’s Frenchy not understanding what “Ks don’t matter” actually means.

 

[Hudson2]

If you're a guy like Machado or Harper going into FA and seeing guys like Acuna, Albies, and all the young talent they have wouldn't that be intriguing to you? I know we wouldn't be the highest bidder for either but it would have to weigh on your decision some.

 

[Southcack77]

Henderson, probably

That'd be my guess for any game leadoff HR record. The GOAT.

 

[Enscheff]

Why doesn’t Frenchy say “see, ground outs do matter”? GIDP has killed many more rallies than any K has

 

[DirkPiggler]

That'd be my guess for any game leadoff HR record. The GOAT.

Found this from 7/5/18.



EDIT: I can't post twitter stuff I guess.

Grant McCauley tweeted that Rickey Henderson led off both games of a DH with HRs on 7/5/1993.

So, what’s the % chance that Realmuto will be a Brave next year?

Money talks

what was Rojas doing? im going to run till they tag me?

 

[Braves1976]

another bad k by Swanson, that was ball four way outside.

 

[USMA76]

As we all know, MLB has instituted a new procedure for the intentional walk in which they simply wave the batter to first base to save time. Along a similar vein, when Folty bats they should just wave him back to the dugout and record an out.

Never hit leadoff homers in three straight games.

hit leadoff HRs in consecutive games 3 times, including the one GM mentioned.

......

Made a guess and saw Brady Anderson hit leadoff HRs on 4 consecutive days once. Maybe I vaguely remembered it. Not an easy record to research.

 

[USMA76]

What grade bloop was that hit by Realmuto?

 

[Southcack77]

Bowman:

Players to hit a leadoff homer in both ends of a doubleheader
Acuna (Today)
Brady Anderson (8/21/99)
Rickey Henderson (7/6/93)
Harry Hopper (5/30/13)

 

[Southcack77]

ESPN Stats:

Ronald Acuña Jr. is the youngest player to homer in 4 straight games in the Live-Ball Era (since 1920).

The only other 20-year-old to do it in that span was Miguel Cabrera in 2004.

 

[Braves1976]

not a good ab that time, first five pitches were balls. Need to take that walk.

 

[Southcack77]

Before the latest HR in Game 2.

 

[Heyward]

from twitter- Vizcaino is scheduled to start throwing Wednesday.

Pen could be insanely good if hes healthy.

Sobotka, Viz, Brach, Winker, Carle, Biddle, Venters, Minter, phew.
