Crazy that the Indians bullpen outBraved the Braves, but I'll take it. Unfortunately a game like that can cover up the fact there are still a lot of issues with the pitching (and it would be nice if Ender would start hitting sometime soon).

Re: 4/15 - 4/28 Game Discussion Thread
Ah...but context is needed (as always). MLB started as early as it ever has this year (March 28th). When ARod hit his 14 in 2007, he did so in 23 games and 106 PA's. Pujols did his in 25 games with 110 PA's. Yelich is at 22 games/99 PA's. IOW, he isn't on a pace that completely obliterates their record...he's pretty much on the same pace."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do.

Anyways, here's Christian Vazquez throwing out Tommy Pham to end the game last night. Funny enough, it starts at 4:20 in the video.

Uh...ok. He's still going to own the record for home runs before May 1st. I don't know why everything in baseball needs an asterisk.

It’s not an asterisk, but puts his achievement in context. Why would you NOT want that? Let’s say he finishes April with 20 home runs...to know he did that in 10 extra games definitely matters, IMO.

Re: 4/15 - 4/28 Game Discussion Thread
I'd say mentioning the amount of games played is pretty good context to have. It reminds me of the NHL recently.
"More goals were scored league-wide than ever before!"
Well, yea, we just added an extra team that brought in 41 more games to the season than have ever been played before. When Seattle joins the record will probably be broken again.“No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.”

I always find the date stats to be misleading for that reason as well. Saying "player x has more __ than anyone by this date". That might be true, but if you played 5 games more than the record holder, you have better chance of breaking the number.Comment
