Dude looks tall compared to his teammates. With him and the Rookster in the same battery, that seems a bit scary.
I don’t do fantasy baseball, but 6-6 with 4 HR, 8 RBI, and 19 total bases has to be a pretty good day
Is that the best game ever played by a hitter? Has to be in contention.
Tied MLB record for total bases and his double was very nearly a 5th HR.
So yes, without a doubt one of the very best hitting days in MLB history. Maybe the best.
Went 6-6 and had a double in addition to the 4 homers. Look how close his double was to homer #5:
Battery…I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
I’m in two leagues (one is the SPS league). Both my opponents this week have Kurtz… 17 me
This is how crazy ridiculously good he was last night. I think it’s safe to say best game ever by a hitter.
The 6 runs scored is actually more rare than hitting 4 home runs. Only been done 17 times in MLB history. Just an incredible game. 6 plate appearances, 6 runs scored.
The more I go down the rabbit hole, the more impressive it gets.
He is now on a 12 game hitting streak.
Was already leading the AL in extra base hits for the month before getting 5 last night.
5 of his 6 hits were to the opposite field.
His dad was in the crowd in Houston.
Last player with 43 extra base hits in his first 66 games was Joe DiMaggio in 1936.
9 for 11 in his last two games with 4 homers and 3 doubles.
He played on that great Wake Forest team a couple of years ago.
Not that it matters, but the last one in the 9th, which made it probably the best hitting performance ever, was off an outfielder.

Means their hitting lineup to me. Been used by many journalists over the years to describe a team's hitting lineup. A lot of bats = battery.
Battery (baseball) - Wikipedia
If journalists are actually using that term that way, they're simply incorrectly using it. Shocking, I know.
Impressive level of petty in bumping this months-old thread.
Are vocabulary lessons petty if repeated or a necessary evil?
Nothing petty about the post itself, but digging it out of storage 4.5 months later just because is.
How many sports journalists are even sports fans now? As opposed to wannabe journalists taking any gig they can get?
Journalism is like education to me. There really shouldn't be a major for journalism. You should be educated in some subject or field, and then have a minor in journalism to the extent you need job specific learning. Just too hard to be a good journalist when you know basically nothing about anything.
Didn't realize Rooker was a catcher. Or a pitcher.
Just to clear my good name... I received an out of the blue thumbs up on one of my posts yesterday, so, like any good self-obsessed poster, I immediately clicked to see what I said that was so hilarious or smart (probably both) and responded accordingly. I had no idea my clever response was from 5 months earlier, but I appreciate a good thumbing anytime.
well we know what half of the battery you are
It took a setup of epic proportions to bring jethreauxdawg out of retirement to spike it...
You're welcome, world*
