Does anyone consistently hit home runs as high as Kris Bryant?  

[m0nkey]

And he hit another one

[Dick B Back]

Kris Bryant is the stud Bryce Harper wishes he was.

[m0nkey]

Another day, another Gary Sanchez home run

[fan_since79]

Sanchez, first player in MLB history with 11 home runs in his first 23 games.

Hitting .400 with a 1.367 OPS.

Bryce put on another show and got ejected

The Dodgers are teeing off on Greinke tonight, leading 7-0 in the 5th.

 

 

[fan_since79]

Dodgers hit their 4th home run this inning, and Greinke is finally removed.

8-0 now.

Brian Dozier en fuego!

Since August 1: 19 HRs, 37 rbis, about a 1.200 OPS

On the year: 38 HRs, 91 rbis, .926 OPS

Not bad for a 2B, speaking of which, what is the MLB for HRs in a season by a 2B?

Davey Johnson for the Braves in 1973 with 43?

Wow, talk about under the radar.

[Angel Oracle]

Dozier had never even had an .800+ OPS before 2016.

He even started this season off somewhat slowly, and then became Mark McGwire (minus the PEDs) on August 1.

[fan_since79]

Dozier is this year's Brady Anderson.

He could hit 50 if he continues at this pace.

[Angel Oracle]

Cards and believe it or not the Padres have each hit a HR in 25 straight games.   MLB record is 27 straight games by the 2002 Rangers.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Dansby Swanson hit an inside-the-park HR yesterday for his first MLB HR. 

[m0nkey]

Good news for the nats today as Stephen Strasburg came off he DL from an elbow injury/soreness

 

Bad news for the nats today as Stephen Strasburg left his start after 2.1 because of an apparent injury 

[totdprods]

Heyward down to a .618 OPS. Wow.
