  • 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, Thursday, September 3, 2009 A's Powell Having A
    A’s News Clips, Thursday, September 3, 2009 A's Powell having a blast By Joe Stiglich, OAKLAND TRIBUNE Landon Powell knows he needs to squeeze the most out of whatever playing time he gets. Perhaps that explains the production the A's are getting from their backup catcher. Powell delivered his first career grand slam to highlight the A's offensive flurry in a 10-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday afternoon before a crowd of 13,920 at the Oakland Coliseum. That gives the rookie switch hitter 27 RBI in the first 36 games of his career. Only Ben Grieve, who drove in 30 through his first 36 games (bridging the 1997 and 1998 seasons), had more RBI over his first 36 games in Oakland history. Playing behind starter Kurt Suzuki, who leads American League catchers in innings caught, Powell had just 106 at-bats entering Wednesday. But he's hitting .340 (16-for-47) with runners on base and .393 (11-for-28) with men in scoring position. "It seems he's hitting .500," said winning pitcher Trevor Cahill. "It seems like whenever there's a situation, he gets a hit. You see he's hitting .250 (actually .255), and you say 'No way.' It always seems like he gets a couple of hits." Just a night earlier, there appeared to be an invisible barrier preventing A's base runners from crossing home plate, as they stranded 11 and lost 4-3. On Wednesday, the A's couldn't make contact in the early innings without the ball finding a hole.
