Matt Olson of the A's becomes the third rookie ever to hit 14 home runs in a 20-game span.

Rudy York and Mark McGuire are the others.

 

Did about 7 of them come against us? Seems like he hit quite a few off us.

MLB home run record will fall tonight, with a full slate of games. 17 more and it's a new all-time high for a season.

Most Home Runs in Season – MLB History

2000: 5,693

2017: 5,677 and counting

2016: 5,610

1999: 5,528

2001: 5,458

>>On pace for 6,139

Yet Rob Manfred swears nothing is unusual.    New gloss for him: Manlessfred

Matt Olson with another home run.

 

Rookies have hit 708 home runs coming in to today, which already is a record

[fan_since79]

Alex Gordon's HR sets the new season record, 5,694.

Ridiculous.

Matt Olson's September:

18 games, 12 HR, 20 RBI

.288/.397/.848

Dodgers have lost 20 of their last 25 games, and the lowly Phillies are going for a four-game sweep today.

They are a mediocre team

[zenmaster]

My co-workers are droning on and on right now how the Dodgers are just "laying low" for the playoffs, and are "experimenting with rosters" to mess with other teams and that they could win all these games if they really wanted. These are educated people in upper management positions.

And with all that losing, still 40 games over .500

Don't look now, but Cleveland is only one game behind the Dogs for best record in baseball.

[fan_since79]

Justin Turner hit on the right thumb by a pitch and had to leave the game.

Bucs came back and walked off on the Brewers last night to help the Cubs who lost badly at the Trop.

Cubs go into Milwaukee tonight to start a series that should/could decide the NL Central.

Which is bad for the Halos because it means these games are important to the Tribe.

Just our luck

Here come my Phillies!

Nick Williams, 2-run blast ties the Dodgers.

Matt Olson has more home runs than singles this year.  He has 47 hits, 23 home runs, 22 singles, and 2 doubles

[m0nkey]

There are 155 players in the majors with 15 home runs, and only 149 players have enough plate appearances to qualify for the batting title

Cubs pull one out of the fire after being down to their last strike in the 9th . Tore the heart out of the Brewers.

After the bad 1st half, the Cubs will still win 90+games. Watch out for them in October.

Cubbies have the best record in the NL since the all star break if I'm not mistaken.

Damn. I want them to be healthy when they lose so their annoying fans don't have any excuses

Cardinals 1.5 games back for the 2nd wild card.

My dream of a Dodgers/Cardinals NLDS is starting to take shape.

Cards are cheaters.   But if they could beat the Dogs yet again, especially this post-season, that would be totally EPIC.
