Rizzo HBP count on game 4: 4.

Update: 6 in 7 games (6 1/3 games, really). And the last one stung - right off the knee.

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't he lead all active players in HBP since his debut?

He has to be. I can’t think of other active players with anything near that kind of distinction.

Since his debut, definitely and probably by far. He and Shin-Soo Choo are very close in leading the active career HBP, but Choo has several years on Rizzo.

Edit: Yeah, I'll say "by far": Rizzo-Choo - 150 (not sure how updated that is), next closest actives are Alex Gordon and Derek Dietrich at 119 and 118. Gordon debuted before Rizzo, Dietrich after.

Don't think I missed one, but if you want to double-check.

Man, the Braves pitching tonight and most of this year has been reminiscent of the 90s with the big 3.

Yeah, Baseball Reference has him at 150, with the italics to indicate Active Career Leader.

Epic Braves comeback! This was a long time coming all game.

Re: 7/23 - 8/2 Game Discussion Thread

Nice come back for the Braves, but the pitching has GOT to improve. Newcomb continues to just be a flat out disappointment.

Guessing we'll see Kimbrel in the 9th since it's a 3 run game. Hope he can throw strikes this time.

Well, he might still be coming in, but the lead is going to be more than 3. Cubs making noise in the bottom of the 8th.

Re: 7/23 - 8/2 Game Discussion Thread

He's throwing strikes....that are landing in the bleachers. Back to back HR's from Bell and Moran leading off the 9th.

Gets the next 3, 2 of them pretty hard-hit. Cubs win.

Ugly. Kimbrel has been a disaster. He needs to figure out his breaking ball command, because those FBs are getting barreled at a high rate.
