David Dahl’s Streak Ends
Last night, the Colorado Rockies were playing the Philadelphia Phillies. In the first,Dahl reached base on a strikeout that couldn’t be handled. Over the course of the game, Dahl could not pick up a hit. This is the first game in his career where he hasn’t gotten a hit. Two days ago, David tieed a record for the most consecutive game hitting streak.
Jonathan Lucroy
Jonathan Lucroy obviously didn’t like his spot on the top ten list. Ever since being traded to Texas, he has been great at pitch framing (well, Lucroy has always had that since his days in Milwaukee) and he has been crushing American League pitching. Okay Luke, I’ll change the list.
