That's funny. I didn't know that although I should since I feel like he's hit 15 and 30 rbi vs us this year. Amazing the stats that fans should know that don't.

Has there ever been a guy who hit 40/100 more underappreciated in recent memory? I'm sure there's someone I'm missing. Adam Dunn did it 4x with the Reds...wasn't on the AS team in any of those 4 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twins have two guys this year on target... Nelson Cruz at 35/92 and Max Kepler at 36/90. The impressive thing about Cruz, other than the fact that he's 39 years old, is that he has done this in 25 fewer games and 117 fewer At Bats than Kepler.

His bio says he played QB at New Caney High. They do take high school football very seriously here. Here's a pic of New Caney's football field (a town of 20,000 people). Note the scoreboard and artificial turf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted September 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 The Reds' Lorenzen gets a win, hits a HR, and plays the OF. The last time that was done was June 13th, 1921 by Babe Ruth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the dumb things Bell has done this year, the one that bothers me the most is that he did not find a way to get Lorenzen in the outfield and at the plate more.

Seeking6 Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Off night for Cubs. Not for Cubs fans. Following Reds/Giants and blown leads was a little rough. Haha. All good in the end though. Big 4 game set starting for Cubs in Milwaukee. Of course with Bears/Packers not all will be watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you project Lorenzen's career hitting stats(small sample size of 111PAs) into full season. The projection would be 30+ HRs and 100+ RBI's. To go along with that about a .270 BA.
