call it what you will but some alarming early season #'s in baseball, as you all know HR's are flying out at a phenomenal rate this early.
Pujols - 12 games - 8 HR's
Shelton - 12 games - 8 HR's
Dunn - 12 games - 7 HR's (also 18k's out of 42 AB's...if he cuts those just in half, i'm betting he has 2-3 more homers, unreal)
Hafner - 12 games - 7 HR's
Thome - 12 games - 7 HR's
Berkman - 12 games - 6 HR's
What's crazy is that as of today there are TWENTY NINE players with *at least* 4 HR's :eek: and nobody has played more than 13 games and many have only played 11. That's a pace of 54+ HR's for the year, now we all know this will not keep up, but when is the last time 29 effing people started off this hot, not since I can remember. Either everyone has jumped from roids to HGH (which isn't tested for in MLB) or it's an effect of the pitchers no longer being on Roids (Mark Mulder topped out at 83 yesterday) or it's juiced balls (for all you conspiracy theorists) or it's simply a combination of the hitters being more ready and the weather, I hope it's the latter, but who knows........
