(vs. ASTROS, 6/04/15)

We needed THAT ONE, Adam. O

(vs. INDIANS, 6/05/15)

Another big one tonight, Adam.

And just as was the case yesterday, it broke a 2-2 tie, and gave the Orioles the lead for good. O

[OFFNY]

o

Jones has hit 3 home runs in his last 4 games.

Yippee.

He has also hit 2 triples within the last week.

I believe that that may erase any doubt as to whether or not he has completely recovered from his ankle injury.

2 more round-trippers today.

Adam is raking.

I figure 30 at least? Especially with Davis this hot. No way they will throw him too many balls.

The correct response to the HBP.

The correct response to the HBP.

Ran the bases properly afterwards. Never pranced or ponied.

[abbott]

He jacked a 2 run HR to give the team a comforatable lead of 10-2 instead of tight 8-2 lead in the late innings.

But context is important. You may decide whether its clutch or not but 67 of his career 195 HRs were hit when the game was tied. 32 were hit with eh team eith up or down 1 run. Half his career home runs were of the most meaningful variety.

OTOH 110 of 195 were solo HRs. 20 3-run HRs, 1 GS. He's also almost 3 times as likely to hit a HR in the 1st inning than the 9th inning.

so 5 years of 25 sounds great, but he's only had 1 100+ RBI season,

Just context, no judgments

The at bat after having been hit in the back.

I didn't see a stat for that. Maybe he's especially dangerous after a HBP, statistically speaking.

All judgement.

Nothing but judgement.

Jones goes 2-4, is on base three times has two RBI, two runs scored and yet you try to find fault in him.

There is your context.

No. That's not what was written.

5 years of 25 consecutive HRs is nice. But the context of this HRs is more important. The fact that he hit a HR only after he was hit by a pitch with a comfortable lead in the late innings puts that 1 HR in context. Why get defensive about it?

BTW Willie Mays hit 373 solo HRs, so Jones is in decent company have hit the majority of his HRs as solo
