Worried that Haniger seemed to be swinging for the fences a few days. Then he had some good taking what he's given strokes yesterday. He just keeps rolling .292/.393/.542 which is only .205+ over projections (outside the mainframe). 9 game hit streak and 5 game scoring streak. My thought that he'd approach both 100 runs and RBI is looking good so far, he's on pace for 95 RBI and 149 R.
So far Dyson, Maniger, Martin and Segura are 10-1 in SB. They should have help with Heredia getting played, Segura and O'Malley returning and if Motter ever gets a single maybe he can start stealing. Or he can keep launching XBH, who's to complain?
Motter is looking like his own type of utility guy. I can't find one with his speed and power combined, all those guys wind up with careers at 2B or something. And my 5 year old daughter has decided his is the jersey she wants after watching that 3 run shot. They do have the same first name.
Paxton is only 3 shutouts away from tying the record. Oh, the record is for complete game shutouts? NVM. But seriously, was Superman a lefty? James' weakness is seemingly rare right now. He looked almost this nasty in his first cup, only wilder. We have been envisioning this together for years. Happy to finally see it. Now to work on 6 consecutive 300K seasons to take that record from Randy.
Seager putting that pitch into the outfield was some ridiculous Ichiro reach and slap action. It was perfect. It was a ball, low.
