Andre Ethier's streak hits 30 (1 Viewer)

Gotta jinx Frenchie somehow. Joe D. is too dead to do it.

30 is the number where I think you start to pay attention. There really have not been that many 30+ game hitting streaks. 36 gets you into the top 10 all time.

When did he steal Francoeur's nickname?

I just gave it to him. I think his father is French Canadian.And Ethier is 10x the hitter Jeff ever was, so he is rewarded the nickname by default.

I saw he sat out a game the other day. I guess that doesn't matter for the streak.

Nope. I also didnt realize if a guy gets four plate appearances and walks in all four that doesn't count against the streak either

I guess DiMaggio and Rose sat out games during their streaks?

Does anyone know the record of consecutive team games in which a player has hit safely (which I guess would exclude the base on balls situation etc.)?

Why does the streak end for a sac fly, but not for a sac bunt?

A sac fly can be accidental.

So can't a sac bunt.

The streak is DONE tonight, by the way. He ain't hitting Young.

A bunt is deliberately giving up the at bat to move the runner. A true sacrifice of the at bat. In contrast, the "sacrifice fly" is a stupid name because there's not an intent to sacrifice. It's a situational statistic.

Ahh. I just read this.However, if the official scorer believes that the batter was attempting to bunt for a base hit, and not solely to advance the runners, he is not credited with a sacrifice bunt and is charged an at bat.

I didnt know that

Young scratched. Dillon Gee gets the start. Ethier 0-2 so far.

Rest easy, Joe.

Rest easy, Joe.

Barely past the halfway mark. Would have had to get another 10 games before the pressure really started.

30 was still a great number
