watching Marcus Stroman bat last night was fantastic. put down one perfect bunt and once okay one – and turned out to be a pretty impressive baserunner!

Altuve's OPS is over 1.000 this morning. Last 2B I can find with 1.000+ is Kent in 2000; Morgan in '76 before that.

i realize you have to take the age difference into account but other than for about 45 games this year he's been pretty miserable at the plate. most projections put him as a 45 at the plate
― k3vin k., Friday, 29 July 2016 02:58 (seven years ago) link
mlb.com gives him a 50, but yeah maybe you're right
he's certainly not a correa/seager/bregman, but he's also been basically four years younger than his competition all along, so it's tough to tell. (and a fair portion of his games have been in wilmington, which is an extreme pitchers' park.)
i'm a little curious why the royals have brought him up now when they don't seem to be going anywhere this year
― mookieproof, Friday, 29 July 2016 03:39 (seven years ago) link
he pinch-ran in the world series last year i think. first ever player to make his big league debut in the WS

manny machado has 3 HRs today.
it's the 4th inning.
― I look forward to hearing from you shortly, (Karl Malone), Sunday, 7 August 2016 19:30 (seven years ago) link
Machado is just the second player in Major League history to hit a home run in the first, second and third inning of the game. The other was Carl Reynolds of the White Sox on July 2, 1930, at the Yankees, according to Stats. Machado is the ninth player in MLB history to hit a homer in three consecutive innings at any point during the game.
