The Marlins scored six runs last night.
They only had one rbi
Of the last 26 Yankee at bats, facing David Price...
There have been 19 hits
Jeurys Familia was not taken in most NFBC drafts.
He has seven Saves in the last 10 Mets games.
No Mets Closer has ever done that in the span of 10 games.
Those seven Saves lead all of baseball
The Closer with six Saves and is second in baseball was also not drafted by NFBC'ers
Jason Grilli
Andrew Miller has a better k/rate than Aroldis Chapman
Chapman has struck out 14 in eight innings.
Miller, 13 in six and one third innings
Cody Allen has three Saves.
That matches his WHIP of 3.00
Mark Buehrle is 3-0 in his first three starts.
He has done that despite having more earned runs than strike outs
Eight earned runs, seven strike outs
In three starts, Kyle Gibson has three strikeouts.
And nine bases on balls
Dee Gordon has the most hits in baseball with 24.
He is also second in stolen bases with seven.
Mike Napoli only has eight hits.
No stolen bases. No home runs.
Napoli has scored 10 runs, Gordon nine.
Chase Utley hit two home runs in one game.
Those were his only extra base hits on the season.
He has scored three runs
25 players have three or more stolen bases.
Only two of those players have hit more than two homers.
Steven Sousa has four home runs. Mike Trout three
Jose Abreu has 10 extra base hits.
Including five home runs.
Jose Abreu has scored seven runs
Paulo Orlando has eight hits.
Three singles and five triples
15 catchers have scored more runs than Buster Posey
Michael McKenry has two stolen bases.
He also has as many rbi as Devin Mesoraco.
Zero
Four shortstops have at least three homers.
Zack Cozart, Jed Lowrie, Wilmer Flores, Brandon Crawford.
All with an NFBC ADP of post-20th round.
Brandon Belt has two rbi and one run scored.
So does Jonathon Niese
Batting averages for Dan Uggla over the last three years.
2013- .179
2014- .149
2015- .129
Mario Mendoza- "What Me Worry?"
Grady Sizemore is hitting .138
MLB teams seemingly subscribing to Shandler's 'Once possessing a skill, you own it'.
Uggla and Sizemore only possess the 'skill' to hit under .200
Jonathon Lucroy got hurt and will be out for weeks.
He left his owners a present before leaving.
A .133/3/0/1/0 line in 45 at bats.
And I'll leave you with this...
We are obsessed with records that cannot be broken in baseball.
Here is one from the music industry.
Herb Alpert had a number one hit in 1969 doing vocals on "This Guys In Love With You"
Years later, a number one hit with the instrumental, "Rise"
The only artist in music history to have a vocal and instrumental number one hit.
They only had one rbi
