    comparing to statistics, a triple is rare in baseball. now lets add a homer double and single on top of that in one game is quite a feat. I understand where you're coming from and honestly would rather see a player hit 4 homers in one game... Gerut was the 6th brewer in history to do it... pretty awesome when I was watching it yelling "get down! get down!" cuz I thought it was going to be a homer, lol.

    now seriously brewers, why does it have to be either less then 3 runs or over 10 runs every night? lets see some consistency.

    It has happened an average of 2.25 times a year since 1883 or 289 times. Compare that to the 269 no hitters that have been thrown since 1875, about 2 per year. I think it is appropriately rated, maybe even a little underated.

    yea i know its rare and everything but so the fuck what if u hit a cycle, its not like its the greatest thing a hitter can do...fack id rather have a guy go 2 for 5, a homer double and 4 rbis then a cycle with like 2 rbis...a no hitter is the best thing a pitcher can achieve in one game and people value a cycle like its the best thing a hitter can do and it obv isn't...i just think its over valued mainly but still kinda cool to see, all im sayin

    isn't it really dependent on if they score runs or not on the 4-4?? if you go 4-4 with 2 rbis and score 3 or 4 times you get on base then obviously it's better then 2/5 with 4 rbis.

    Don't forget runs scored, since the guy that hits for the cycle will not only make three fewer outs he will also be on base two more times. So I would say hitting for the cycle is more valuable that going 2-5 with four RBIs. Your assumption that a guy who hits for the cycle only produces 2 runs over the long run is not accurate.

    Now hitting 4 home runs would be not only more rare (15 times), but more valuable as well.

    i didnt say that at all i just gave an example of how i think cycles are overrated, u can hit a cycle and only have one rbi...if u hit a cycle and have like 6 rbis then ya thats a fucking great game but not cuz u hit a cycle but cuz u went 4-4 with 6 rbis, doesnt matter if u had 2 homers and 2 singles, just cuz it was a cycle doesnt make ne difference

    Brewers now lead the NL in runs scored, despite Prince getting off to the worst start of his career. Now if they could just get a little more consistent, stop blowing saves, and get Prince hot...
