What else can you say about a night in which Kyle Higashioka got his first major-league hit—and it was a home run against the Red Sox?
Or in which Aaron Hicks hit THREE home runs against the Red Sox, capping a month in which he ran amok, with an OPS over 1.000?
OR in which, weirdest of all, in which Neil Walker actually had a run-scoring hit?
Yes, there must have been blood on the moon and witches on the wing last night, for results like that.
But...it gets even weirder. And better.
Both Happ and Hapless, J.A. Happ and Cole Hamels, rolled sevens yesterday afternoon. Both gave up seven earned runs to, respectively, the hapless Bengals and Pale Hose. Despite Dave Dombrowski's "advice" to Coops Cashman to get into the pitching market NOW...both players' stock dropped exponentially, we can be sure.
So what else from Bizarre-O Day/Night?
Well, Matt Harvey pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings against hard-hitting Milwaukee. No runs, two hits, no walks, six strikeouts.
Hmm...Sonny Gray for a mad-eyed, pumped-up Harvey, just seething for the chance to show up his old team in New York?
Could it be? Yes, it could. Somethin's comin' somethin' good...
Just don't listen to Dombrowski!
Dombrowski may sit upon a pineapple. 🍍
ReplyDeleteHarvey would be the same heartburn. I say stay away.
ReplyDelete"Oh, my mind is so mixed up, goin' round 'n' round_
ReplyDeleteMust there be all these colors without names,
without sounds?
My heart burns with feelin' but
Oh! but my mind is cold and reeling.
Is this love, baby
or is it confusion?"
Harvey would be an interesting trade...what would the Reds ask for? Couldn't be Torres, Andujar, and Frazier.
ReplyDeletePerfect trade; Sonny for Harvey. Throw in Jacoby.
ReplyDeleteThis is all a fairy tale. There is no team in North America that would trade anyone for Sonny Gray.
Unless the Mariners still own the rights to Jesus Montero.
How’s this for a novel thought? Just let him go. That would send a statement around the world. Yes, we’re out the money, but we’re saying that we want to win at any cost. And it’s a whole lot cheaper than getting a Sonny Gray clone for a replacement.
ReplyDeleteWith a click, with a shock
ReplyDeleteHigashioka, the home run stroker
Provided some sock
