IS Cuddy worth 7.66 million??

[zamboni]

A cycle means a hitter has at least 4 hits, 3 of which are extra base hits, including a triple- which IS by MLB standards the toughest hit to get. Whats so stupid about that stat?? You still haven't answered me- if it were, noone would care, and if it were easy it would happen everyday. It doesn't.

Gomezs cycle (looking online, btw) was by standard the toughest to get- he hit the HR first, then the triple, double and ended with a single. Not many others have done it in that order.

Kubels was also a rare cycle- one of just a VERY SMALL handful that had his homer during the cycle that was a grand slam.

Lay off Cuddy, he's great in the clubhouse. Recently, he waved his magic wand and pulled another meaningless home run out of his hat. Gardy loved it!

I said a NO HITTER. Cycles are nearly as rare as a NO HITTER.

One was against us by a very overweight and admittedly drunk guy.

Just a few years earlier, the same guy pitched for the Blue Jays against us in the ALDS and the Twins knocked the tar out of him.

[zamboni]

And Bert himself just said it- the triple is about as exciting as it gets. Gotta have one for a cycle, and it is by far the toughest spoke in that cycles wheel to get.

[blue_healer_guy]

Triples more than not are a misplay by an outfielder, like tonite.

[Quackaddict9]

well it's still a triple.

[zamboni]

Scoring system should be changed, if it is a misplay, and I do agree Dyes falling down was a misplay, then it should be a double with runner taking third on an error. But I think MLB tries to cut down on the errors on the books.

Cuddyers hit on sunday- blatant error. Abreau flat out missed that ball. Still can't believe he got a hit from that.

[DHanson]

IMO, I don't think that was an error or a misplay by Dye. He ran hard and tried to make a great catch. On a line drive hit, you don't have much time to sit there and think about what your going to do. It's easy to say after the fact that he didn't catch the ball, that he misplayed it. He could have stopped running to catch the ball and played it off the wall, which he should have, but you don't know that until after the fact. Line drives are hard to read, no doubt.

His misplay in that case wasn't him not catching it, it was him falling down. Span got third because of that, had he stayed on his feet, I think Span woulda been held to a double

[DHanson]

I don't know. If I remember right, he fell down in an attempt to catch the ball. So, if someone accidentally falls down or slips in an attempt to catch a line drive, it's a misplay? All I know is if I'm a coach, I want my players to play aggressively. Not stupid aggressive, but definitely aggressive.

[PierBridge]

Good Grief guys!..

Anyway back on topic do you guys think Cuddy can maintain his 25 point lead over A-Rod who makes 27 million a year in the batting average category?...

I'll hang up and listen!...

[Gary Crichton]

Oh you should get a few on that question. Lets see Cuddy over A-rod. Ya that is about right. Cuddy over the overpaid A-rod. No brainer there. Go Cuddy GO.......

[UdeLakeTom]

And as far as we know, Cuddy hasn't been cheating in any manner.

[soldoncass]

There is NO SUCH THING as a meaningless homerun. It puts a run (or more)on the board with one swing, bothers the pitcher, and usually swings momentum to that team. Now if a pitcher is use to giving up a lot of them (like Blyleven, or Ron Davis), it doesn't bother them quite so much

Great move by Gardy to put Cuddy after Morneau, against lefties. Kubel isn't near as dangerous against lefties.

Just pulled up some stats:

Cuddy: 92 hr career

1 walk-off

20 tying

27 go-ahead

Morneau: 159 hr career

4 walk-off

8 tying

60 go-ahead

Obviously NOT meaningless............

[SledNeck]

wow 60 go ahead!

[PierBridge]

Cuddy just scored the CLUTCH go ahead run in the 7th inning.

Go Cuddles~

Puntoooooooooooooo! Puntoooooooooooooo!

[Stratosman]

And followed that up nicely watching strike 3 go by with bases loaded. I'm not a hater.

[PierBridge]

No Strtosman it wasn't even close to strike 3 as you already know... nice try though! Hater!... Granted our pitcher was the benificiary of his poor strike Zone later in the game also.

[blue_healer_guy]

never heard so much hipe over a guy scoring a run after being hit by a pitch.
