I just want everyone to know that Byron Buxton raised his average 54 points in the month of May.

He is now hitting a robust .201 on the season.

Is he still using Return of the Mack as his walk-up music? If so he owns.

I knew about these guys, but I didn't know the name wasn't a coincidence. They're literally named after the Springfield team and that's amazing.

Ask me how to run a good team into the ground.
Ryan Schimpf is probably my favorite player in MLB. Per the Sporting News :

quote:

In 2017, Schimpf is on pace to hit more than 40 home runs but fewer than 40 singles. If he were to actually achieve that feat, he'd be the first player in baseball history to do so. The list of players to hit 30 or more homers and 40 or fewer singles in a season is contained to just three occurrences: McGwire in 1995 and 2000, and Barry Bonds in 1999.

He's currently hitting .166/.297/.437 and while it's probably pretty unlikely he hits 40 HRs, he's seemed to have picked up where he left off from his play in the 2nd half of last season.

That's probably enough to get Mr. Met fired.

He could still get a job being a mascot for that art museum on 5th Ave, though.

He has a 100 wRC+ as of tonight. So if you wanted to know how many homers you have to hit to still be useful with a .166 avg, there you go.

He had like a 70% FB rate going into this week. Anyone know what the record would be for a season?

57.3%, 2006 Frank Thomas, at least among qualified batters.

Gallo is also above that so far in 2017

The Mariners have finished May having won half the games this month. This is an improvement over their .423 record in April. The M's are therefore on pace to have a .577 record for June, a .654 record for July, a .731 record in August, a .808 record in September, and a .844 record in October. They will win around 101 games overall and win the World Series only dropping 1 or 2 playoff games. Math doesn't lie :getin:

The Cubs are NL, and a little too on the road for it (they'll get there next home game though).

Unsurprisingly, Dodgers outdo everybody, even on average. (not updated for tonight at time of posting, but in a few hours probably)

And also on the road; wild.

Also lol Angels dead last on the road (seriously though, they had Trout, how) and man the Rays need to start handing out free game tickets with a 10-gallon fuel purchase or something.

Cubs have a higher average attendance than the Jays, they're just one home game behind.

Dodgers, Cardinals and Giants already well over a million each.

In the AL, yeah. At least according to BR the Dodgers and Cards beat them in all of MLB.

Dodgers have led in attendance every year since McCourt sold the team and that will continue until they are bad. It's the largest stadium by a good margin now so that's an extra advantage in addition to you know, a good team in a large city.
