Another one that grates me is NATS have a player Denard Span that has a current 26 game hitting streak.
Only problem is (AT least in my mind) he has NOT played in 26 straight games...granted if ‘they’ pointed that out every day I would also have my rankle raised.
The more appropriate statement would be: “He has hit safely in HIS last 26 games”... ‘they’ are starting to compare Span with the leaders and pretty soon they will start comparing him with JD (and Rose) and I have a feeling if he comes up short this year, ‘they’ will extend the streak into next season.
What ‘they’ are saying is if say a pitcher had 30 starts and had a hit in each of them ‘they’ would say he had hit in 30 straight games....TRUE enough but I doubt that JD or P Rose not only didn’t miss a game they probably didn’t miss an at bat in their respective streaks.
I am glad we have some serious discussions on this site on occasion...<: <: <:
