Swingandalongonetoleft Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Typically, these kinds of obscure records don't really do anything for me, but the fact that it was a record held by Alroid rather than someone legitimate makes it that much more glorious for me.

Lip Man 1 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Congrats to Jose. One of the few players on offense to earn his money. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Way to go, Jose. Glad that he's still fighting to the end. Resilience is the hallmark of strong character. Edited October 2, 2015 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 FWIW, the real votes on this poll were 17 yes, 13 no (RBI), 2 no (HR), 15 total no. I already see someone voting after the fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Congrats to Jose, I did not think he would pull it off in the RBI category. One of the lone bright spots this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Oct 1, 2015 -> 11:17 PM) Congrats to Jose, I did not think he would pull it off in the RBI category. One of the lone bright spots this year. i also didnt think he'd get the numbers (i figured he'd be short on RBIs since they're largely affected by people getting on base for you) this is a pretty big deal if you ask me, he's a special hitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how much more "legitimate" it is when a 27-year old rookie does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Whether he's 27 or 24, it still is quite an accomplishment. Jose is down about .450 points with his OPS vs. LHP this year or he probably has better numbers than last year. You have to figure that should bounce back, and he should come up huge again in 2016, especially with a better start not only by himself, but by his teammates.

Hatchetman Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 the poor guy did it with Avi Garcia batting behind him. that's pretty amazing. Too bad he can't lay off a few more pitches out of the zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Scott Merkin @scottmerkin 13h13 hours ago Chicago, IL Danks said he's never had a better teammate than Abreu. Many players are tied with Abreu for that honor in Danks' mind, but none better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
