2017-09-13: Pirates (Glasnow) at Brewers (Anderson) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 8-2]

[jerichoholicninja]

Brett should have just let that ball hit him. It'd be live and the run would have scored for sure.

[topper09er]

Another homer for Rhys Hoskins tonight. He now has over half as many homers as games played.

 

He owns this list now with 17 HRs in 33 games.

 

#2 is Walt Bond in 1962, 6 HRs in 12 games.

[pacopete4]

Keep scoring boys. Keep scoring. [sarcasm]We'll pull Anderson and pitch him Sunday![/sarcasm]

[LouisEly]

Ian Happ just got tagged out loafing it to 3B on a single to the OF, which negated the run that scored in front of him.

 

Love it.

[topper09er]

Cepeda?

 

Nice try but no

[pacopete4]

Mets, Reds, Dbacks... lets go!!

[sdcheezhd]

Cepeda?

 

Nice try but no

 

Ha! Knew he had 1 and took a flyer on the 2d.

[topper09er]

Since Robertson in 1917 there have only been 4 other Giants (NY or SF) to lead the league in HRs in back to back season, can you name them?

 

We have Bonds Cepeda Mays, McCovey and Ott.

 

The last player is part of a better question, he is one of 2 players to the league in HRs in back to back seasons for 2 different teams (meaning he led his league in HRs at least 4 times). Can you name them?

[BuckyBrewer61]

I've had enough of trying to play guys out of position. Out of Thames/Aguilar/Sogard/Villar, it's not like too many of them are so hot that we can't find space for everyone that's raking. Put OFs in the OF and play the hot bats between 1B and 2B

 

Edit: I'm very ok with Phillips playing OF

[markedman5]

What a howitzer!

[topper09er]

Phillips has 3 RBIs in the game now.

[yfinn6]

That's the way you play CF

[LouisEly]

Phillps!

 

See, that's why you play real OFs!

[3and2Fastball]

Brett Phillips is good at Baseball

[3and2Fastball]

Brian Anderson is actually pretty damn entertaining tonight

[superfly]

Thames is starting to see the ball better again.

[LouisEly]

Among qualifiers, Thames is third in the NL in average # of pitches seen per PA (4.27).

 

I'm going to pull a topper09er and ask if you can name the top two.

 

(Domingo Santana is 13th in the NL at 4.11)

On a more serious note...I'll go with Votto and Rizzo

[wibadgers23]

Cubs up 5-2 now. Just can't get any help from anybody who has played them lately. Just need to hang around until our 4 game series and then take care of them ourselves.

Chuckie Carr and Yuni? I agree Votto is a good guess. Maybe Goldschmidt?

[jerichoholicninja]

For as good as Arcia is defensively, he botches some of the easiest plays.

[markedman5]

Cards down 6-0

[sdcheezhd]

Inning was over but the Reds challenged and won and then got 5. Cards would have stolen 5 runs without replay.
