Around SBN: The Amateur Mathematics Of Linsanity

After last night, Troy Tulowitski has cemented a place in baseball history. As far as I can tell, he's the only player in MLB history to both hit for the cycle (last night) and complete an unassisted triple play (4/29/07). On top of that, he's also hit into a triple play (9/12/07). I swear to god, if this guy took the mound, he'd probably throw a perfect game.

Even better that he's on my fantasy squad

But watching last night’s highlights, the official scorers were very gracious with their rulings. On both his double and his triple, errors could have reasonably been scored.

STEVE HOLM! refuses to be the odd man out.

I just on heard on SportsCenter that John Valentin is the only other player in MLB history to accomplish both of those things

Going to his wedding in November. ; )

Great job Tulo. But, you’re still an ass face for hating on the Giants.

The cycle gets an asterisk. The official scorer was very generous on the triple.

I saw a stat on the LA – feed last night that said there are 2 other player who have had an unassisted triple play and hit for the cycle. though they were from a looong time ago. I didn’t record the game and cannot remember the names of the players.

How has Molina not hit into a triple play?

Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.

/joke about the Giants not getting two runners on base at once.

I’m amazing Molina hasn’t gotten a line drive hit to right field only to be thrown out at 1st.
