Need to finish this inning before the game gets called again!

Cycle plus an outfield assist.  Not bad.

Still only 5 for his last 19, with 8 strikeouts and only 1 walk. 

The slump continues!

This Austin Hays ain't half bad.

This has to be one of the few times that someone completed the cycle in a 6-inning game, right? 

[Moose Milligan]

Hopefully that puts him on the map for ASG consideration.  He won't get there through fan voting but hopefully the manager picks him.  IMO, he's our most deserving player.

Just think if he’d had a full 9.

That should be simple to look up, but Stathead's Game Finder tools only have a "Game Length" selection of less than or equal to nine innings.  No box for just "less than".  So it can't be common, but I don't know how uncommon.

Also, remember when Felix Pie hit for the cycle in '09 and some poster here went absolutely nutso crazy about how this disrespected Orioles history? Since the only Orioles to hit for the cycle previously were Cal, Brooks, and... Aubrey Huff.  I suspect there may have been some alcohol involved with that thread.

The three extra base hits were all no-doubters off the bat.

He could have broken the record of 14 total bases in a game with a cycle.

Yea, scOtt earned himself a vacation for that one.

Maybe the oddest rant I've seen on here.

[interloper]

Adam Jones' best season was 2012: 5.7 WAR, .839 OPS, 32 HR, AS, GG. 

Hays' 2022 so far: 2.2 WAR, .829 OPS, 10 HR, AS-bound. 

He may not end up with quite the season Jones had, but it's going to be awfully close if he stays healthy.

That's odd. Was the argument that they should have pinch hit for him?
