Gotta think he's the clubhouse leader right now for NL MVP.

[Gil Bang 25,944]

As of now, he's #3 in BA, #4 in OBP, #1 in slugging and OPS, #1 in HR, #2 in RBI, #2 in Hits, and #2 in SB.  

 

Pretty, pretty, pretty good.   He's easily going to make 40-40, and 50-50 isn't out of reach.

Well it was nice while it lasted.

I still want to know how bunting against a guy throwing a no-hitter is an absolute affront according to the unwritten rules, but IBBing a guy with 3 homers is OK...

I’m not sure anyone else is close to 300 in that amount of games.

it’s pretty damn impressive in the non-steroid era.

alonso is on pace for ~260 HRs in 955 games

shohei, ~240

soto will reach 200 in the next few weeks… but he’ll be at around ~915 games played when that happens

Good discussion on how MLB might go about extending starter’s innings. The “double hook” is an interesting thought.

[checks calender] it’s not April 1st??! [/checks calendar]
 

I remember the double hook being kicked around a while back. 
 

the baseball fan in me says, “sign me up for that if starter doesn’t go 6.”

the Astros fan in me says “hell no.”

(But it’ll never happen as long as Shoehei is around/ in LA).

Rough start for the Giants SP last night against the Braves. 

HBP, HBP, K looking, BB, BB, grand slam into McCovey Cove.

I wouldn't hate 6 IP/100 pitches/4 runs whichever comes first but I'd prefer they just keep limiting the number of pitchers allowed on the roster.  Getting it down to 11 or 12 would go a long way to forcing longer starts and more multi-inning relief appearances.

Joe Kelly … I keep hoping that cocksucker takes one between the eyes someday.

(But, I see the resemblance.)
