i actually found these ones hard to believe

prado hitting .371 with 43/52 hits being singles

arenado 13 hrs and only 16k's ? fucking wow

justin upton 63 k's, 8 bb? LOL

not a single braves pitcher has more than one win at this point in the season? jesus christ

read this the other day, thought that was pretty ridic to be hitting almost .370 on an 0-2 count lol.

Martin Prado has always been a good hitter. Votto studies his approach all the time.

Cool statistics

Giants have the best 1-2-3 in the majors with Bum at 2.45 ERA, Cueto at 2.70, and Shark at 2.66 - but the worst 4-5 in baseball with Peavy at 7.43 and Cain at 5.87

Arrieta - 1.29 era
Lester 1.88 era
Hammel 2.31 era

Cubs >

Just wait til Hammel's usual 2nd half tail off.

Rays have good power too bad theres never anyone on base when they show it rolf

McCutchen has the lowest avg of the Pirates 3 OFers.
