I think Haren is due to come back to earth. His peripherals are similar to last year except a much lower hit rate. It’s low enough he can’t possibly sustain it, though Oakland does field a very good defense.
Hopefully the Reds can be the team that starts to burst the bubble.
It’s a shame Dunn won’t save his home runs for when someone is on base.
Please tell me this was an attempt at sarcasm.
But in case it isn’t, I think it was Chris who posted a couple of weeks back the percentages of career solo HRs hit by some of the members of the 500 Club. Guys like F Robby, Willie and a few others. Turns out that solo HRs accounted for between 56% and 60% of their totals (Killebrew was the outlier at 63%). Dunn’s career percentage is ~57%, so he’s in very good company.

Thanks, Chris. I’ve been in court. Sorry!
Another homer for Dunn!
Hopefully they won’t trade Dunn, but if they do at least his value is on the rise.
Reds just made my comment (#2) look prophetic. Thanks Dunn, Encar and Hamilton!
Dunn has 6 homers in the last 6 games.
It’s a shame Dunn won’t save his home runs for when someone is on base.

But don’t let facts get in the way of a good rip.
It was definitely sarcasm.
yes, sarcasm provided free of charge.
Doesn’t sound like Hopper is doing the “little things” too well today.
Unfortunately, he’s really being exposed with extended playing time.
Brantley clamoring for more breaking balls….as Cout bounces one away from Ross. Funny.
Hey, whaddya know – we do have a pitching coach, after all.
Marty piling on Coutlangus.
Yay….. Castro just pinch hit for Hamilton…. Narron for MOY… F&^#$%G Dolt….
Sorry, Eric, it’s getting hard to tell the serious Dunn bashers from those taking a rip at the serious Dunn bashers.
With the exception of Weathers, I can’t think of a single relief pitcher on this roster, that I’d invite to spring training next year.
