    Unprecedented this deep into a season ?

    My guess is fewer than <Five other occurrence in history.

    Next question is, "what's the LATEST a Trio has occurred?"

    Here is a nice view comparing his slider and curveball to his fastball. Slider starts inside about even height to the high fastball out of zone over the inside corner. Ends up for a called strike in middle third of plate after Beltre flinched. Curveball starts out a little higher and slightly inside high fastball, but drops in to glance inside part of zone causing Beltre to turn from the imaginary spider.

    Springer's injury has affected Jose's leading off and Fisher's getting ABs vs LHP.

    790 reports George is available to PH.

    At least we're reaching base.

    Just a matter of time before breaking through... I think.

    You expect Jake to strike out at this point. But Christ Altuve

    Altuve is not putting together anything close to quality at bats. He’s not been very good at home.

    In the age of uber shifts, there's something satisfying in seeing a batter shoot the ball the other way.

    Well look at Evan Gattis, helping us win baseball games. See if he can't get warm.

    It's pretty easy to root for the guy given his path to the show, however 2 good games doesn't eliminate a quarter season of crap.
