  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

  • A's News Clips, Friday, March 4, 2011 New Oakland A's Have To
    A’s News Clips, Friday, March 4, 2011 New Oakland A's have to produce more runs By Joe Stiglich. Oakland Tribune PHOENIX -- The consensus opinion is that the A's will have a better offense than a year ago. How much better? That should tell the story on whether Oakland is a true postseason contender, as its pitching staff is considered one of the tops in the American League. With a revamped heart of the order thanks to newcomers Hideki Matsui, David DeJesus and Josh Willingham, the A's indeed look more potent on paper. But many around the game still believe they lack a true power hitter. Will the A's look for another bat as the regular season unfolds? Chances are they'll see how their current squad performs for an extended period before pulling the trigger on anything. "If you look around the league now, there's not a lot of teams that have a ton of power," veteran second baseman Mark Ellis said. "I know we're probably close to the bottom in home runs, but it's not like it used to be. It's not just 'slug ball' out there. "You do what you can to find a way to score runs, and I think we've got guys here now who are going to have productive at- bats." The A's attempted to sign free-agent third baseman Adrian Beltre, who had 49 doubles, 28 homers and drove in 102 runs last season for the Boston Red Sox. But he chose the Texas Rangers instead.
