He did that last year, as well, didn't he? At least I remember someone with a similar name having one of those .170/30 kind of lines at one point where you just look and double-take and shake your head.

Yep.

.209/.333/.537 with 41 HR and 80 RBI.

With how baseball is trending more towards power hitting where having a decent average is a super-awesome, but not required, bonus, the thing about his line that's most shocking is how the fuck do you hit 41 homers and only have 80 rbis?

Yesterday Billy Hamilton maybe had the most highlighted game of the season on defense and also some on offense.

Ryan Braun putting on defensive show tonight

Brutal ending for the Brewers....leading rival Cubs 2-1 in 8th with Hader pitching and they lose by 5 and Cain banged hard into the wall.

Cubs now in 1st

ESPN game tonight Braves vs Mets...Braves are honoring Hank Aaron and he will be in the broadcast booth for 3 or 4 innings.

Damn

Welp, now that the one person on the team he can name is out, Classy won't be following the Tigers for the rest of the year...

At 35 years old, coming off underwhelming seasons, it could be time to wrap it up for Miggy. Dude used to be a Tribe killer. Every time he came up against the Indians you just knew he was going deep or at least clearing the bases with a double or something. Now he's just a shell of his former self.

LOL @ Detroit

Ah yeah, the good old days where teams would regularly lock up their stars by giving them lifetime security with a fat contract that lasted so long that there was no logical way the team would get respectable value for more than (at most) half its duration.

And veteran players were wondering why so many of them went unsigned in free agency over the past offseason. Lol.

We can laugh at Detroit, because they have some major issues with their rebuild (unlike Chicago, who has done masterfully). But, they had a window and went for it. EVERY. YEAR. I respect them for that, even though it crippled them for the foreseeable future. I wouldn’t hate the Tribe is they took a similar approach.

Josh Hader is 78th in NL in innings pitched

He’s 11th in stri

It was awesome. Just think they screwed up by not keeping their money wrapped up in pitching, a Verlander-Scherzer-Price-Porcello rotation would be deadly and allow some breathing room for the younger offensive guys

Throwing 278 pitches. SMH

There wasn't much counting back in the day.
