GameDay Thread - Angels @ Rangers - 9/9/14

[tdawg87]

I forgot what the exact stat was, but If Trout leads the league in runs scored this year, it will be 3 consecutive years. Something only accomplished by Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle. I think that was it. Currently he's tied with Dozier at 99.

 

How the hell does Dozier have 99 runs scored? For the Twins?

 

Weird.

Nice productive out Aybar.

I know right, thought the same thing.

[tdawg87]

Boesch for MVP

[The God of Runs]

Maybe Boesch doesn't suck as much as I think he does

[WallyWorld]

credit to Boesch - he did something a lot of Angels hitters have failed hard at this season.

[Aaronkv]

Lewis getting lucky with all these hard hit balls at people.

In the last 100 years, only Ruth, Williams, and Mantle did it in the AL. Pete Rose and Albert Pujols accomplished the feat in the NL.

 

Collins did it in 1912-14 and Cobb in 1909-11. But you're right, those five are the only players to do it in the AL.

Man, remember when Beltre was with Seattle and this team owned his ass? What the hell happened?

I remember him going down on one knee and flailing hard at balls that bounced 5 feet in front of the plate. He's like an entirely different hitter now, and he OWNS us.

[Aaronkv]

Can they just walk Beltre every time thanks.

There you go. Collins and Cobb did it before 1914 and I didn't mention Rose or Pujols because I thought it was an AL stat. Nevertheless, pretty impressive list.

[tdawg87]

Nice recovery Santa. Please stop pitching to Beltre.

[gurn67]

I just had a vision of 40 years in the future where some team rolls Beltre up to the plate in a wheelchair and he STILL goes yard on us.

[nando714]

So far so good

Yeah, you did good. It was the AL you were talking about. I just added Rose and Pujols for the fun of it.

No, by then he'll be playing for the Angels.

[DMVol]

Cowgill is struggling....

[tdawg87]

Cy Lewis tonight apparently.

[Halos of Anaheim]

Couldn't expect the offense to put up 10+ runs every game.

[tdawg87]

Meanwhile, Boston can go **** themselves.

Its been what 4 innings?

[stormngt]

You mean the 2011 year in Detroit where he had an OPS of 799? or the 2013 year for NY where his OPS was 831?

Sorry bro but he's had more AB's with Detroit and New York..he can't hit. It's proven

[WallyWorld]

seriously - how many sub .200 hitters has this team walked this year?

[Halos of Anaheim]
