BigBen07 285 Posted August 23, 2015 Wow. Jays just annihilated the Angels tonight. Josh went 4-5 with 6 RBIs and finished a triple shy of the cycle! Jays remain 0.5 back of N.Y. for the AL East lead, and are now 4.5 up on Texas for the 1st WC as the Angels lost the 2nd WC spot after the loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge+ 3,436 Posted August 23, 2015 What a game for the Pirates last night. All 3 runs scored on solo homers (2 of them by Jung-ho Kang da GAWD) and a walkoff HR by Marte. Marte also robbed a HR earlier in the game... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge+ 3,436 Posted August 26, 2015 Andrew McCutchen clearly is one of the greatest in today's MLB. When compared to two historic Pittsburgh Pirates, he also is already one of the franchise's all-time greats.McCutchen played in his 1,000th career game on Monday night -- and marked it in style with a two-run double that started the Bucs toward a 5-2 victory over the Marlins in Miami -- a nice round number that offers a convenient opportunity to compare. And Cutch compares astonishingly with legendary Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente and Barry Bonds, whose Cooperstown-standard career flowered in Pittsburgh. Benchmarks at the 1,000-game milepost: • McCutchen (1,864) has accumulated more total bases then either Bonds (1,783) or Clemente (1,693). • McCutchen has more extra-base hits (416) than Clemente (313) and is hot on the trail of Bonds (427). • McCutchen's double Monday night was career No. 230, more than either Bonds (219) or Clemente (176). • McCutchen has more hits (1,115) than Bonds (976) and is on the heels of Clemente (1,170), who had already won the first of his four National League batting titles before he reached the 1,000-game mark in mid-1962. • McCutchen has a higher OPS (.886) than both Bonds (.882), who had a higher-profile as a power hitter, and Clemente (.774). • McCutchen's RBIs (543) are nearly on a par with that of Bonds (547) and considerably ahead of Clemente (473). One other key department in which McCutchen could lap his two iconic predecessors: team wins. Clemente's tenure peaked with 97 wins by the 1971 Bucs. Bonds' 1991 crew won 98 games. Entering Tuesday, Cutch's 2015 Pirates were on pace for 99 wins. McCutchen's accomplishments are not lost on Pirates manager Clint Hurdle, who has watched McCutchen turn into one of the game's best players over the last few years while helping Pittsburgh end its 20-year streak of losing seasons. "He's the face of the franchise from the player pool," Hurdle said. "He's got national recognition now, which I think is a somewhat tangible sign and evidence that the player and organization are growing together. I think he was able to send clarity to our fanbase that Pittsburgh was important, the organization was moving in the right direction. He wanted to be a part of it when he signed the [long-term] contract he signed a few years ago. "When your best player is arguably one of your hardest-working players, it makes everyone's job on the periphery easier." http://m.mlb.com/news/article/145313486/how-andrew-mccutchen-stacks-up-at-1000-games Cutch. It's been amazing to watch him from the very first game he played. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bangy 19 Posted August 27, 2015 Can't doubt how much of a beast Clutch has been, he really has been the foundation in which the Pirates have turned themselves from pretty much the bottom to where they are now. The organization have done amazing to build around him too. He could well be on his way to Cooperstown. Mets have another 6 game winning streak, since the trade deadline the bats brought in and the guys that were around really have come to life. Flores turned in a monster month since almost being traded and Duda found his form again too. Cespesdes has hit 7 HRs in 13 games and Uribe has been solid too. Mets really did do well and also have the easiest run to the end of the season in the league. Now at the point I'd be both surprised and disappointed if they don't win the division.

Bangy 19 Posted August 28, 2015 7 in a row for the Mets. Today I learnt: Cespesdes is a hitting machine, now has 8HRs in 14 games and his numbers are pretty damn good. Wright's back doesn't seem to be hurting him too bad after a nice few hits and a sweet play from 3rd base. The 1-3-1 between Torres and Murphy was a thing of beauty for a circus act. Torres has some wheels for a pitcher.Phillies got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
