And another 3 run homer. Crazy.

Looked pretty good the last 2 nights, including a 3 run homer tonight. You never know how something like 8 strikeouts, a few errors in a game, a few wild pitches, and other issues like that are going to effect a player. Good to see Soto’s fine.

Or the team.

Inferiority complex, anyone?

daver,
It’s not Cubs hate. Even you have to admit striking out 8 times in a row doesn’t happen very often. It was about the feat, not the player.

More overblown Cubs hate. As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, Geo went 2 for 4 last night with a walk. That includes a double and a run scored (and, yeah, four LOB).

Selective Amnesia. It was also hiidden within a 7-0 Cubs win.

another FYI… the most consecutive strike record is held by Sandy Koufax with 12. However, the record book measures that record with consecutive plate appearances not at-bats, so Geovanny is proabably safe. He would want to hold a batting record currently held by a pitcher.

It’s pretty damn incredible for sure. What’s even more incredible, is this is a guy that’s been absolutely killing the ball all year, before this of course. He’s one of the top NL ROY candidates, and he at or the near the top of the list for MLB catchers in most of the big offensive categories. That certainly includes K’s in a row now…
Will Piniella trot him out there to face Ben Sheets tonight? Might see the “feat” go to a dozen straight K’s if so.
