Gardner?

Stare at three pitches down the middle with a RISP

Brutal

In little league who's mom and dad made him play when he didn't want too, and that was his way of getting back at them

just tied Yaz for 7th all time on the hits list (3,419). Just for perspective, the last time anyone active had that many hits was when Pete Rose was in his last year (1986) breaking Cobb's all-time record

Beltran (.286) or McCann (.294) or Roberts (.301)?

...

and that package is good. 4BB night is one amazing sign for someone with that much pop.

1-0 and Darvish looking mortal-ish.

has been a wonderful ride.

since Judge got to Tampa. The fact that they're consistently pitching around Judge to get to a very good hitter in Bird tells you a lot about the respect for Judge.

wish there were people on base for him though!

...

4 frackin HRs including 2 tonight.

Jesus. Well if he isn't going to hit it on the ground he better poke a few.

wow.

Darvish is stunned.

2-0

Gardner didn't somehow forget how to steal bases at an really high clip like he used to.

He has turned into a very good player

Both deep center field.

He still swipes them at a high clip (17 for 21), he just doesn't try all that often.

really strange.

attempting to steal like he used to, he still does swipe them at a high rate. My fault on the wording

Wonder why he doesn't try to steal more often? He's good at it.

He's been fairly hesitant to run ever since. Don't know what that's all about, but that's how it started.

except either he doesn't want to or he isn't given the green light to do so. Makes no sense.

He is the first player to ever hit 2 HR in a game off Darvish.

...

...

was hoping for an early night.

is a beast.

pitch location from Phelps. That was right down the middle

...

Way to stop the bleeding. Scrub.

Guess I should be careful what I wish for.

as fringy does.

has to be one of the worst every day players in the big leagues. It makes absolutely no sense to keep him on the roster

what it's going to take.

fighting chance to crack 100, a season after Bird did that. He didn't have a huge rep for patience so that's a big and very pleasant surprise.

...

there's always next year.

...

1. Pete Rose (24) 4256 B
2. Ty Cobb+ (24) 4189 L
3. Hank Aaron+ (23) 3771 R
4. Stan Musial+ (22) 3630 L
5. Tris Speaker+ (22) 3514 L
6. Cap Anson+ (27) 3435 R
7. Honus Wagner+ (21) 3420 R
8. Derek Jeter (20, 40) 3420 R

.

look at the years played for those ahead of him.

McCann was the one decent contract that they gave out to hitters in the off-season but not even he has been worth anything close to what he's being paid.

Hanigan.

He isn't making McCann money either.

Part is that MCCann plays tomorrow and Cervelli gets the bench.

I believe these are the records from Baseball Reference. MLB officially has him past Anson already (Anson played 4 years in the Federal League, which is disputed as to whether it should be counted as a Major League or not; and alson one of his years in the NL, walks were counted as hits, so he's got a few possible numbers).

Also, MLB seems to have Wagner with 3430, not 3420. Either way, he'll pass both of them.

the National Association, not the Federal League.

Cap Anson was so long ago he played 5 years in the National Association (1871-1875) before it became the NL. MLB doesn't recognize stats from the National Association

yes, but Dorgan does.

and the only two runs we've managed to get across came on solo shots.

40 year-old Jorge Posada. (Although Posada never had an OBP this low)

As he is at the plate. Insult to injury

all year. Win a bunch, then loose a bunch. Starters have to pitch shut outs to win.

Phelps one bad inning and pfft. Has to be demoralizing.
