[MiamiHomer]

Prado had himself a game.

There's no way Dee Gordon doesn't become the first person to hit .400 since Ted Williams.

[HUGG]

Dee Gordon could go 0 for his next 44 and still be hitting over .300.

“You don’t want to, I guess, put down anybody, but I think he’s a little bit better than what Jose Reyes was in his prime just because he’s incredibly fast,” Hamels said of Gordon. “He might be a tick more, not to discredit Jose, who is a pretty impressive player.

“That’s the first time I had to deal with [Gordon] on the bases. With him on the bases you have to pay attention to two individuals (the hitter and the runner) instead of one. It was a learning lesson knowing I’ll have to face him a lot more. I wasn’t able to balance the two.”

The hottest team in the NL.

3 games out of 1st place in the loss column.

Loria. GENIUS.

HOW DID HE KNOW???

[HUGG]

We now lead MLB in runs scored with runners in scoring position situations. Which makes sense, I guess, since we're tied for 28th in home runs. We're hitting .280/.340/.417 w/RISP

Hitting .297/.348/.417 in 7th inning or later, 3rd best OPS in baseball; killing bullpens.
