We're far enough into the season that the "huh, that's unusual" performances of some players have reached the "what the ****, that's just not right" threshold. Some to start:
- After hitting another six tonight, the Jays are averaging 1.67 HRs/game, which puts them on pace for 271 on the season. The '97 Mariners hold the team seasonal record at 264.
- Dating back to the beginning of September last year, a sample size of over 260 ABs, Jose Bautista is hitting a home run every 11.6 ABs. Barry Bonds hit a HR every 12.9 ABs over the course of his career,
- The Rays are allowing 3.1 runs/game, which would translate to 501 over the course of a full season, and the lowest runs/game rate since they lowered the mounds after the '68 season.
