Around SBN: 2011 In Extreme Home Runs

Kirbir's Pictures of the Week

Bill Hall returned to the Brewers this week after sitting out with a painful calf injury, as did Braden Looper. Rickie Weeks isn't letting criticism get to him, which is either really good or really really bad. Now Mike Cameron is out of play, with an armpit strain of all things.

If you're interested, you can vote for your favorite player at Right Field Bleachers. You'll never guess who I voted for...

Cain_fails_3-14_medium

Despite Lorenzo Cain's noble efforts, he fails to catch a homer while JJ Hardy looks on with sadness and grief.

 

Jj_hardy_jumps_3-14_medium

JJ tried to make up for the run with his frog-like jumping skills...

 

Escobar_tags_lillibridge_3-11_medium

Alcides Escobar wanted to cheer JJ up, so he tagged Brent Lillibridge of the Chicago White Sox out...

 

Fielder_scores_3-11_medium

Then Prince helped out by scoring a run in Saturday's game...

 

Yoga_pitches_3-8_medium

YoGa made some silly faces from the mound...

 

Capt

And soon JJ was back to his good ol' self.

 

 

This just goes to show how good teammates can make the worst day turn into a good one, whether or not we get the W. Now, if Ryan Braun could just pull himself together and get more than one measly hit against teams like Puerto Rico...

That's the first I had seen the AP Rickie Weeks article you linked to

DM compares him to Hudson and Roberts:

The 26-year-old Weeks has more homers, walks, runs, stolen bases and a better on-base percentage than those two did at this point with just as many at-bats, but also leads in strikeouts with the lowest batting average.

Things that are relevant here:
- Homers
- Walks
- Runs
- Stolen bases
- OBP
Things that are not relevant:
- Strikeouts
- Batting average

I hate how people refuse to acknowledge that Weeks is about a league-average player with a ton of upside.

Yeah, he gets a bum rap

But so do some other players…

If that refusal to acknowledge makes him cheaper

I think it’ll be okay.

Sure

but it probably makes Rickie feel sad.

I like the bat

Floating in the background of the Prince picture…either that or it is stuck to the catcher’s back.

He does actually

He’s lost some of his fluff.
