Iglesias needs 90 plate appearances in the last 20 games to qualify for the batting title. That works out to 4.5 per game which is doable if he continues to bat second or third in the order.

But if he sits even two games, it would be 5 per game in the other 18, which is not realistic. The 7-inning double header doesn't help. 

If a player falls just short, he can take an 0-fer however many appearances short he is.

You can qualify with less, you just have to take a penalty.

78% of the outs that Means recorded (14 out of 18) came via the Groundout and the Strikeout. 

Means retired 14 out of the final 15 batters that he faced, yielding only 1 Walk in that span ....... numbers which were identical to Dean Kremer against the Yankees on Sunday. 

Means was at 71 pitches through 5 innings ....... he threw 26 pitches in his 6th and final inning. 

 

 

18 OUTS: )  8 Groundouts (Including 1 Double Play), 5 Strikeouts, 2 Flyouts, 1 Popout, 1 Lineout

Third paragraph, fella.

If you'd told me before the game that Alberto and Nunez would be a combined 0-for-10, I would have said it looked like a tough night for the Orioles offense.

Goofy comparison graphic on the screen on FX1's broadcast of Boston/Philly.

In 328 games playing for Joe Girardi, Mariano Rivera gave up 66 runs.

The Philly bullpen for Girardi this year has given up 99 runs in 39 games.

It's kind of apples to oranges since the Phillies have way more than 39 reliever appearances in those 39 games.

That's what I get for skimming the all activity tab while following an author on Twitch.

Alex Wojciechoski's name on the back of his jersey is somewhat reminiscent of when Marty Schottenheimer played for the Bills in the AFL. 

This is from when he was signed by the Portland Storm of the WFL in 1974 ........

Another extrabase hit for Mountcastle!

Valaika and Ruiz both have to get on for Cedric to have his shot at the cycle.

[MurphDogg]

No Davis. Makes me wonder whether Hyde had any input on whether he would be called back up. Uh, I mean recover from his totally real injury.

Hmmm, remarks seem a bit premature at this point in the game.   Means is looking great.  

You are right..

he did great

If Davis can’t get in the game for Valaika here with 11-2 score, he may never

[HOF19]

Hit it right to him .

[SteveA]

Win #20.   We'd have to lose the last 19 to match last year's winning percentage.
