2012 MLB Season Game Thread: May

Josh Hamilton homered AGAIN!

[Bobbob1313]

This is getting stupid.

[MiamiHomer]

He's on pace for like 90 HRs.

As Gus Johnson once said on that Madden game I own...

"Get that man a new contract!"

[MiamiHomer]

His HR/FB% is absurd . 38 fly balls and 17 of them have gone out.

[Bobbob1313]

His ISO (.470) would tie Jason Heyward for 59th in baseball if it was just his slugging. And he is hitting .410 on top of that.

Just nuts.

his ISO is only as good as Jason Heyward's?

[Bobbob1313]

I fixed it to make it say what I meant.

[Ramp]

Thanks. You're a gem.

[MiamiHomer]

It's like he's playing softball right now. It's so awesome.

Josh Hamilton has 40 RBI. It is May 11, people. M-A-Y E-L-E-V-E-N-T-H.

And yes, I care about RBI. At-bats with men on base are fundamentally different than those with bases empty.

The RBI are not what is impressive about this. Smarten up, Jon.

Preston Wilson had 36 RBI on May 11 in 2003. M-A-Y E-L-E-V-E-N-T-H.

I think it's a sign of how good the guys hitting in front of Hamilton (Elvis Andrus especially) are at getting on base. Hamilton's also a centaur, so there's that.

This is almost always what RBI are a sign of.

Yay, I got it right!
