Was checking some stats. Not surprised by the power numbers but he's hitting .392? Holy shit.
25 HR, not halfway, so well on pace for another 50-burger. Would be his 4th joining Babe Ruth, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa as only players with 4 50-HR seasons. Now I'm curious about highest average during a 50-HR season; I think Mickey Mantle his .352 or something his triple crown year (1956; is way I remember a friend's birhtyear, or vice versa). Barry Bonds only had the 1 50+, the 73, where he hit .328.
I had to google-refresh on his past MVP awards. 2022 and 2024. Spurned by the voters his rookie year, finishing 2nd to Jose Altuve. -4000 currently? Is that correct? Google sent me to ESPN which lists the -4000. My only book ain't listing it and fooling around searching is for the birds. I'm not used to working with such ridiculous numbers but isn't that an implied probability of 97.5%?!
Blue Jays are somehow significant so maybe July and August will look okay if I squint just right.
A lot of mediocrity, this year. In baseball, I mean.
I think I OD'd on baseball, once or twice.
Options galore if you got the stamina.
Sorry for the rant.
