Wow, Deshields. I like the way he got that ball right away. Big heart.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I can't think of anything more sad and lonesome in sports than a two-out, bases empty triple by the #7 hitter.

Like I said...

 

I can't think of anything more exciting than a game-tying, RBI triple by your #7 hitter

(Cue the #8 hitter...)

[Craig Arko]

What's the record for triples in an inning?

[Riverbrian]

What'd i miss?I hope Deshields is okay.Not that i'm complaining about another triple, mind you...

Guys who run fast... Always seem to get hurt when they run fast.

deshields over slid second and got tagged out, but it "looked" like he was called out for sliding out of the basepath.

[GCTF]

Major League Baseball is hard.

[Ultima Ratio]

How do you do that!  No Friggin Way!

[Monkeypaws]

Buxton's influence is everywhere - triples abound

[Vanimal46]

Opportunity wasted right there.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

What the hello is going on

[Richie the Rally Goat]

i hope we set it right here

[USAFChief]

This is why we can't have nice things.

[Craig Arko]

What's the record for triples in an inning?

Three and counting...

[Vanimal46]

Hitting triples like its our job today.

[Squirrel]

Another triple by an 'outfielder' not named Buxton!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Bunt

[stringer bell]

In a comparable number of at-bats, who has the better stats, Hicks or Sugar Shane?

[GCTF]

 

I hope Deshields is okay.

 

Lucky for him he's not a horse.

[USAFChief]

 

Wow.  You don't see an umpire have the nads to call that very often.

Turns out he didn't/doesn't.

[GCTF]

3 triples = 1 run. Makes sense.

[FanFromPhilly]

 On September 15, 1901, Chicago hit five triples against Milwaukee in the eighth inning which is the most ever hit in a single inning by one team.

On May 6, 1934, Boston hit four consecutive triples against Detroit in the fourth inning which is the most ever hit consecutively in a single inning.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Does hitting a triple atone for missing a squeeze sign and getting the running on third picked off base?

 

Discuss.

[formerly33]

I think that Buxton's not catching the hints.

[Craig Arko]

Turns out he didn't/doesn't.

Wendelstedt; we already knew that.

[Puckett34]

 

3 triples = 1 run. Makes sense.

Yeah, but did they score more than one run in the inning?

Question: what are the most consecutive triples over two or more innings?

[Vanimal46]

Some scout did his homework and told Martinez to throw nothing but hooks to Buxton

Inconcievable.
