Re: Who will win the NL batting title

Sanchez pulled away some today.

Im just glad to see the Marlins can win with Cabrera having a 0-X game, since that does happen from time to time (though not often)

Re: Who will win the NL batting title

Sanchez 0-3 so far while Cabrera is 1-2.

And Marlins just make it 5-1 Mulder getting booed.

Cabrera has now taken the lead. 2-2 with 3 RBI so far vs. the Mets tonight.

Re: Who will win the NL batting title

Sanchez is starting to tire even more (like I mentioned in my first post). He might need to take 3-4 games off to regain some energy.

With that said, great year for him. Not many people aside from Pirate fans knew what he was capable of. Would be nice though to see a guy come out of nowhere to win the NL batting title (even if I'm not a fan of the award based on the stat it represents).

Well, Cabrera has a good lead in the OBP title too from what I see.

That's good. I'm not bashing Cabrera or ever have been. I just don't like the BA stat.

Truthfully, whether Sanchez wins or not isn't too important to me. The Pirates have larger issues to worry about.

Yeah, I know what you were saying. Was just throwing in an extra tidbit of info to go along with it.

Re: Who will win the NL batting title

Freddy Sanchez has jumped out in front in this race. He's actually now leading all of MLB in batting average. I guess I was off when I thought he was tiring out. Oddly enough, the Pirates have been winning since the All Star Break - 35-27.

Sanchez .346
Cabrera .338

Mauer leads the AL at .344

Re: Who will win the NL batting title

Sanchez went 4-5 last night. He's up by 11 points now in the NL, but trails Joe Mauer by 3 points.
