Re: How Long Will Rollins Hit Streak Last?
Carpenter was a beast this spring. Rollins goes 0-4 and it gets snapped at 36.

Re: How Long Will Rollins Hit Streak Last?
It is very toug on Rollins to start off the season with a hit-streak and keep it going, especially on opening day in April. It could very well end today but i'll say it ends sometime next weekend.Comment

Re: How Long Will Rollins Hit Streak Last?
I say he'll go 2-3 games.
Given the time off in the early season, reaching must past 40 will be impossible. If this record is going to be broken, it will come as a one season deal.Comment

http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/14255978.htmBall one. No problem.
Ball two. The crowd booed.
Ball three. More boos.
That was enough for La Russa. He got the attention of catcher Yadier Molina and made a universal hand signal for "What the #$%&*@ is going on? Throw a fastball down the middle and see if this guy can hit it."
Wainwright threw a strike and Rollins - you didn't really think he'd take it? - hammered it past a diving Albert Pujols at first base.
Adam Wainwright threw a curveball, a change-up and a fastball in going 3-0 on Rollins. He clearly wasn't trying to walk him. But kudos to La Russa, anyway, for standing up and essentially ordering a strike.
"You have to play the game," La Russa said afterward. "A hitting streak. That's part of the game. We can't walk him in that spot.
"Some of it is [Rollins]. But most of it is us, the St. Louis Cardinals. I wouldn't want us to be the team that walked him in his last at-bat and took it away from him."Helen: Everyone's special, Dash.
Dash: [muttering] Which is another way of saying no one is.Comment

Re: How Long Will Rollins Hit Streak Last?
i'm not the biggest La Russa fan in the world, but that was a great gesture on his part. It would have been disappointing to see his streak end with a walk.“Nobody in the history of the game tried what I just tried. We’re talking about on the biggest stage, in New York, playing out of position and asked to hit fourth for the New York Yankees. I mean, that’s never been done.” - Sheffield on SheffieldComment

Re: How Long Will Rollins Hit Streak Last?
If Rollins breaks Maggio's record, it won't be received as well historically because
1. He didn't do it in 1 season like MAggio's streak (the most important reason)
2. With the steroids controversy the level it's at right now, there's people who'll think he didn't do it cleanly and will use this reason to cover up number 3 which is
3. people's racial prejudicesComment
