So here’s my theory: The Yankees are carrying the tie into the 12th inning and possibly beyond until they see the outcome of the Red Sox @ Orioles. If the Red Sox win, they will let the Rays win. If the Red Sox lose, they will beat the Rays. They will do this so that…
Yes! Based on my observations, Jeter is one of the classiest players out there. It would be nice to see a high profile Yankee come to the RedSox instead of the other way around for a change. Plus, it would renew the rivalry which has become a little stale these past few seasons. http://go.nelwel.net/xcxoAB
Current streak: 2 Longest streak: 16 He’s hitting against Greinke, but he’s also 6/16 against him.
Current streak: 1 Longest streak: 16 I just looked at the games that are going on today and I had a change of heart. The Blue Jays are playing at Yankee Stadium at 1:05, so I’ll probably listen to the game at work since it’s an AL East matchup. Robinson Cano (who is hitting .353…
Current streak: 1 Longest streak: 16 Coco sat out yesterday, so my streak is still dangling at 1. Adrian Beltre is currently riding a personal 6-game hitting streak and I’m counting on him taking it to 10 because I’m going to go ahead and pick him to hit today through Monday.
Current Streak: 1 Longest Streak: 16 I didn’t make a pick yesterday and my Jumpstart Pick is Dustin Pedroia. Since he didn’t play yesterday, my streak remains alive at 1! Crisp has been hot since his return on 6/22 and I think he can get it done against the slumping O’s today.
Current streak: 0 Longest streak: 16 I’m finding that it is sometimes harder to get a streak going than to keep one alive. My picks for the past two days have been complete disappointments. Today, instead of picking someone who has a good chance to hit, I’m going to go with David Ortiz and maybe…
Current Streak: 1 Longest Streak: 16 For Friday’s pick, I searched the list of starting pitchers for the highest ERA which happened to be Jeff Suppan (6.81) from the Cardinals. There happened to be one hitter that’s 2 for 2 against Suppan – Jason Kendall with a season average of .256 with 64 hits in…
Current Streak: 0 Longest Streak: 16 Zobrist broke the 3 game streak I had going with three consecutive outs and a walk last night. Can Papi get a hit today? Will he even be in the lineup against the Rockies in the NL hosted game? We’ll see.
My Current Streak: 2 Longest Streak: 16 Beltre is clicking this season so he is often my pick. He’s hitting .336 with 89 hits in 68 games. I like him tonight against Jhoulys Chacin of the Colorado Rockies who has an ERA of 4.00.
When asked to compare his baserunning to that of Johnny Damon’s in the 2009 World Series, Dustin said, “I wasn’t watching. I was barbecuing. I have a life. If I’m not in it, I don’t watch it.” Now, for the most part, I’ve always been a big fan of Dustin Pedroia. He puts up good…
I’ve got a one game streak going and don’t feel like putting a lot of thought into it today. Let’s see what Cano can do tonight.
Did I overthink it? Probably. Let’s see if Beltre, the pick I should have made, can get it rolling for me today.
Robinson Cano Bats: Left Opposing pitcher pitches: Left Opposing pitcher ERA: 5.03 Venue weather forecast: 50% chance of precipitation through gametime Martin Prado Bats: Right Opposing pitcher pitches: Right Opposing pitcher ERA: 4.91 Venue weather forecast: 40% chance of thunderstorms through gametime Ichiro Suzuki Bats: Left Opposing pitcher pitches: Left Opposing pitcher ERA: 1.49 Venue…
As of yesterday, the following players have a .300+ average and a hits to games ratio greater than 1.0:
As you may know, I’m playing Beat The Streak at mlb.com. I have a 14 game streak going and there’s something in me that would like to keep it going – maybe the possibility of receiving a $3,000,000 payout? Eh, maybe. Anyway, if you have any advice about who you think has a sure chance of getting a base hit tonight, let me know.
