Thursday, August 11th, 2118: Twins Pitching Ravaged by MacAndeoir
Who needs batting practice? Eddie MacAndeoir of New York apparently doesn't as he battered Minnesota with a 5-hit outburst in today's game to lead his club to a 12-4 win.
He told the press after the game, "And I didn't even take BP today. I think I have been taking too many swings before game and decided to take a day off. Wow, this was really something... a 5 for 5 day... will my name be in the record books now?"
E. MacAndeoir singled in the 1st, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI double in the 5th, singled in the 7th, hit a solo-shot off A. Olivo in the 8th and walked in the 9th.
Thus far this year MacAndeoir is batting .343 with 17 home runs, 76 RBIs and 102 runs scored.
NYY: 78-40, 3rd
Min: 56-62, tied 11th
Thursday, August 11th, 2118: Big Day with Bat: Gould 5-5
Mark Gould had an answer for everything the Anaheim Angels threw him today in the Hartford 10-2 triumph at Angel Stadium. He made good contact 5 times and 5 times he drilled the ball for a base hit.
The Hartford second baseman went 5 for 5 in the game to put his name in the record book.
Summing up his batting philosophy to BNN writers after the game, Gould said, "I just see the ball and I hit it."
M. Gould singled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off H. Murdoch in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, singled in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off H. Chandler in the 8th and walked in the 9th.
This year Gould is batting .269 with 84 hits, 9 home runs, 37 RBIs, 27 walks, .327 OBP and has scored 48 runs.
Hfd: 68-50, tied 4th
Ana: 46-72, tied 17th
