#6 Post-Shower Hurry Up
OK, I just took some time to take a nice, long shower, and now I'm a little pressed for time to get this post out. I'm used to deadlines, but this is nuts, ha. So I guess I'll take a quick look at the baseball world, as seen through the eyes of the players I have on my fantasy team. Reason being - it's time to check on my fantasy team, why else.
It looks like Chase Utley came up with a late-inning single, to extend his hitting streak to 28 consecutive games. Chase became just the 36th player to get halfway to Joe DiMaggio's record of 56 within a single season. Keep in mind Joe set that record 65 years ago, so about every second year someone gets halfway to his mark. This really is the toughest record in all of sports to ever get close to, and a lot of that is due to how much pitching has improved in those 60 some odd years. The Blue Jays have a middle reliever that can pitch 100mph. A middle releiver. That says enough right there.
Mark Teahen has a 5 game hitting streak going, and has been promoted to third in the Royals batting order. Over that time he is 8 for 18 with 3 HR and 7 RBI. If for some reason he's available in your league (as he was in mine a couple weeks ago) he is a must add at this point, no matter what other third basemen you have on your team.
Oakland A's Joe Kennedy (shoulder) threw 28 pitches in a bullpen session Thursday, and will be pitching every second day for a couple of weeks until his return, which begs the question: Why do I have Joe Kennedy on my team anyway?
Last Weeks Top 5 (on my team):
1. F. Liriano - 22K in 13 innings, 1W, 2.08 ERA and WHIP of 1.00
2. M. Prior - 5 2/3 innings of no hit baseball before being pulled due to pitch count
3. C. Utley - 3 HR, 7R, 2 SB and a .417 average in chasing Joe's record
4. M. Teahen - 3HR, 8RBI and .444 average
5. El. Alfonzo - 3HR, 7RBI and a .368 average from a guy I picked up last week to fill a day where Lo Duca was sitting. This kids got power and average potential, pick him up if he's there.
