This has turned into a fun game

Anyone know the record for consecutive homers against one team? Thames against the Reds has to be getting close to a MLB if not team record.

 

The closest thing I could find was Lou Gherig had 14 homers against the Indians in one season. Just think with 6 games, Thames is halfway there.

And just like that, Perez has an OPS >.900 on the season and his OBP is .080 higher than his BA.

Ugh, I hate pulling Thames now. Don't get me wrong - I get it. But I still hate it.

Aguilar plummeted down to a .626 OPS. Just kind of a matter of time to see if him or Franklin gets shown the door first.

I've had my doubts that he can get on base, because he never really has. If he can develop that part of his game he can be a very valuable player and Shaw/Perez will make a heck of a 3B combo .

The old save situation with an 8 run lead for Milone, lol.

[pacopete4]

Back to .500!!

Hernan should be in the starting lineup for the next 2 weeks or until he cools off. When he gets hot he stays hot for awhile

Don't have your answer - but here's this tidbit.

 

Brewers 1B Eric Thames joined Hall-of-Famer Willie Stargell as the only players to hit 8 HR in April against one team (Thames against the Reds, Stargell in 1971 against the Braves (via Elias Sports Bureau).

Yes that turned in to a really fun game to watch last night! Let's get the sweep this afternoon.
