Compared to the multi-decade raping Pujols has given to us.... Haniger doesn't even register on the scale
Doesn't he though? tOPS+ versus Houston, career: Kevin Mitchell: 96 Will Clark: 127 Pujols: 87 Edmonds: 108 Fernando Vina: 103 Strawberry: 103 Eric Davis: 105 Dykstra: 131 Eckstein: 114 Haniger: 105 ... tell me more
Wally Backman too. I will always and forever hate the ****ing '86 Mets, until my dying day. Those were just the first few I thought of, if you're bored go to baseball-reference and knock your socks off.
As much as I despised his success against us, I cannot deny Will Clark had one of the prettiest swings I've ever witnessed.
Javiers recent distance outings are extremely promising. If he can dominate through 5 consistently we would be thrilled. If he can regularly get more that's gravy, albeit much needed gravy.
He was a totally cocky *******, but he was my favorite non-Astro back in the 80s. I wanted to swing like him. Never could, but it didn't stop me from trying.
It is a good night when A's, Mariners, Angels, Dodgers lose. Betts 2 HR, 3 RBI in 72 at-bats so much for being Dodgers for life, but most important Dodgers are 2-7 the last 9 games.
Has there been a thread on prettiest right handed swings? They're usually so truncated due to the need to get out of the box. Usually it's batters stance from the right side that gets the notice, not the elegant elongated swing. I guess we could explore the violent nature of RHBs.
He followed us to the american league. He killed us in the National League and has declined steadily since. His # of at bats against us have not. I would guess those 11 teams are mostly national league teams.
The only milestone Will Clark was ever known for was grounding into Mike Scotts no hitter. He did do that brilliantly.
Javier was pitching like his balls were on fire, and there might have been a reason for that. Keep the superstition alive for the rest of the rotation.
