You’d think after the second one he had lost the element of surprise…

no doubt...baseball needs to get back to those type of players. Stealing bases can be quite a weapon...

What’s old is new again.

Statistical analysis is for average players, not for the exceptional ones.

Meanwhile, on Thursday night, Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor went 5 for 5, including two triples, one homer, and two singles. If he had hit a double instead of a single during his last at-bat, he would have hit for the cycle.

For a player to hit for the cycle and get two triples in the same game has only been done once in Major League Baseball history, back in 1950. Lindor was so close...

Sadly...in a few years, Cincinnati will lose him to one of the same 4 or 5 “richest” teams. That has to stop...the great “small” market teams like Cincinnati , Pittsburgh etc dont stand a chance of keeping star players. These once great baseball cities have to be able to compete.

FYI, Wander Franco just made it home on a similarly weird play by the Braves. Unfortunately the Braves are going to win the game, since they’re playing the way the Rays did in April, and the Rays are playing the way the Braves did in April.
