Or fill in for Carrot Top as the "before" version. or his cousin Lemon top since he's not a ginger. I wonder if Hader can do any prop comedy with baseball equipment? Well some of our hottest hitters due up in the 9th -
If you have a lumberjack beard you cant go by Archie
-
best ERA in MLB history, he should retire now and work as a backup singer for weird Al
-
just IBB Goldy now
-
Looked like Hader slowed down his whole motion on that last slow curve
-
Already not impressed with Hader's number
-
Houston is on pace for 113 wins, they need to choke so that we can become the first team to win both pennants.
-
Props to Villar for finishing the play there
-
Robbing a nerd, pick on someone your own size
-
I am going to dispute this based on no actual evidence.

Meaningful analysis has never been Bill's forte. Bill does a nice job analyzing the pitches, I suspect most people watching the game cannot tell what pitch was thrown just by watching. Yes he relies too heavy on old school stats, but hey its not BA is ever discussing FIP
-
Sogard is in a 1 AB slump so hes due now
-
This is very misleading, sure Feliz's number look good when you remove all his bad outing, but you cant compare these numbers to the usual league average where a 2.66 ERA looks "pretty good". If you remove every relievers 3 worst outing Feliz is still bad in comparison. Same with the others

Aguilar should not be running here, put in Davies or really anyone else

That CHW 3 HR list is old, Konerko did have a 3 HR game but never did the HR cycle in 2 games. The closest I found was Carlos Quentin who hit 4 HRs in back to back games, but they were solo, solo, 2-run and GS.
-
I dont think this happened, at least not as you described with a GS one game and then the other 3 then next game. None of the players you listed ever had a 3 HR game for the WhiteSox, and at least none of Thome, Konerko or Dunn accomplished the HR cycle in back to back games. These are the only 3 HR games in CHW history and I checked back through Baines and none of these did it http://mlb.mlb.com/cws/history/rare_feats.jsp I also checked Frank Thomas, Magglio Ordonez and Jermaine Dye and none of them did it. I did find Edwin Encarnacion do it in these back to back games http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/TOR/TOR201508290.shtml http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/TOR/TOR201508300.shtml

Well (ignoring defense) we can approx the runs he created using linear weights. Right now MLB is a 4.56 runs/game scoring environment, so halway between 4 and 5 for the above charts gives singles worth .468 runs and HR worth 1.395 runs. He was 5-5 with a 1B and 4 HR, so that would be (1).468 + (4)1.395 = 6.048 runs created. We then need to convert that to wins using this approximation. 9 * (7918 MLB runs/15482 MLB innings) *1.5 + 3 = 9.9, so last night (again excluding defense and position) Scooter produced 6.048/9.9 = .61 WAR
-
Since Scooter was close to a HR cycle, I would like to point out this interesting and shameful game featuring Tino Martinez http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SEA/SEA199704020.shtml His first 3 ABs go 3 run HR, 2 run HR then solo through 5 innings. Then, next AB he comes to the plate with the bases loaded, a HR cycle opportunity, he grounds out to the pitcher. Unlikely to have another chance so a little nibbler is a major disappointment. But wait, in the 9th inning he comes to the plate with the bases loaded again. 2 HR cycle chances in the same game...and he walks on a full count. Score was 9-2 in the 9th at that time, no reason to walk there. You have to just commit to swinging at the last pitch. ...and then the baseball gods themselves decided to mess with me by letting the Yankees rally and have Tino come up again in the 9th with the bases loaded, that's right folks, 3 HR cycle opportunities in the same game and 2 in the same inning! This time, in likely the least clutch AB in MLB history, he strikes out looking. There has never been a HR cycle, I think not even in the minors and there may have been 1 recorded in some independent league or college.
-
Tony Lazzeri hit for the cycle in Lou Gehrig's 4 HR game
-
trick question, it is Joe Adcock of the Milwaukee Braves
-
Who is the only Milwaukee player to do it?
-
There have been more perfect games than 4 HR games
-
and note that Jenkins struck out in that AB like a real man, dinger or bust with a HR cycle opportunity
-
As usual Villar trying to do too much and be too quick
-
Santana needs to back the F off. You were called off by the center fielder
