Sunday, August 20: Orioles go for a sweep in Oakland on last game of west coast trip

[O's84]

I do like it that he's not going for stats/feats there.

I like Gunnar not settling for a single there and taking the extra base hit.  I wouldn't expect any less from him. Gunnar batting in the ninth inning the way this game is going is a distinct possibility.

If you are Gunnar and you smash a ball into the gap do you dog it to first and stay or do you hustle for a double?

That was your answer.

Not sure how I feel about him going to 2B except it's a team AB, isn't it. 

Love it. 

Doesn't feel very legit if he stops at 1st and could have easily gone for 2nd.

This team's biggest quality is how players are unselfish and professional.

With this pitching he might get another crack at it.

Gunnar missed the opportunity to be the first visiting player ever to hit for the cycle in the Coloseum.

That’s amazing young kid doesn’t care about the cycle he wanted the double the kid will win a mvp in the next three years

If Henderson gets a hit here, I believe it will be the first time he has gotten to .250 all year. 

Oh so close. Showing .249 on MLB.tv

That is hard to believe since triples are the toughest part and that park must see more than most.

Of course it wouldn't be.  I'm still sad he didn't get the cycle.  That's my conundrum.

I wish it would've been a single.

I feel like it was just two days ago I was told “OmG it’s just Oakland,Gunnar has struggled lately he’s not actually that good let’s pump the brakes”. Oh wait, it was.

As big as this place is that is a surprise to me that no one has done it.

Double-double-triple-HR. Let's call it Gunnar's Cycle.

Unlike Ricky Davis shooting on his own basket to get a triple double.
