Clint looks super comfortable at the plate

 

Really like this version of Frazier all I had to do was joke about it and then he's gone on a tear.

 

Whit Merrifield with a 29 game hit streak

 

That's awesome.

Can't imagine how hard it would be for it to be over two seasons too. (I still can't believe 56 happened.)

 

I want Ottavino ready to go, pitch count is good but Tanaka's hanging splitter terrifies me here

 

I have been so consumed by wrestling the past 5 days I know y'all missin me

 

This is my least favorite matchup of the season so far

 

No we aren’t.

 

That ump got duped by that framework there.

 

Whit’s the best. I hope it keeps going for a bit. We haven’t had a long hitting streak in a while it seems. Longest this century is 38 games. It’d be so cool if Whit could get there

Also, I remember hearing that Ted Williams outhit DiMaggio during that streak. Incredible

 

This is insane to think about.

 

Wow props Tanaka

 

Jimmy Rollins in 05-06. It ended on the third game of the 06 season

 

Tanaka you beautiful man!

 

I remember Luis Castillo’s hitting streak forever ago getting a ton of coverage

 

@Jason Tate if I make this list, how many characters do I have? hah

 

Longest hitting streak this decade is 33 by Dan Uggla lol

On July 4th, he was hitting a mere .173 with a .241 OBP when he embarked on what was one of the most improbable hitting streaks of all time. He got a hit in every remaining game in July, to move his average slightly above .200, then continued through the first 10 days of August. When he went 3 for 5 on August 10th, his streak reached 31 games, the longest in the major leagues that year, and tying him for the longest in Atlanta Braves history - Rico Carty had had a 31-game streak in 1970. In spite of his recent batting heroics, he was still only hitting .224 at that point, with over 100 strikeouts. For one day, he and teammate Freddie Freeman had both had active 20+ game hitting streaks on the go; it was the first time this had happened since Mickey Rivers and Al Oliver of the Texas Rangers in 1980. Uggla's streak ended at 33 games; on August 14th, Chicago Cubs 2B Darwin Barney robbed him of a sure hit with a spectacular diving, back-to-the-plate catch in short right field as he went 0 for 3 with a sacrifice fly. Not surprisingly, he was named the National League's Player of the Month for August; during the month, he hit .340, collecting 33 hits. He finished the year with a .233 batting average, but with 36 homers, 88 runs and 82 RBI, good for an OPS+ of 109 when all was said and done.

 

35000

 

With three true outcomes peaking over 1/3rd PAs, I wonder what the equivalent hit streak is today to DiMaggio, in terms of probability.

 

Davis will have an AB next inning should someone get on base, otherwise he'll have a shot in the 8th.

 

Jeez. I appreciate brevity too much to reach that limit.

 

YES Robertson didn't fucking suck

 

Hoskins is something special.... wow
