Luis Arráez hits for the FIRST CYCLE in Marlins history!

[@anthonyr8253]

Seems like a great guy for it to happen to. Never causing trouble, stirring up drama, or making it about himself over the team. Just shows up every day and does his job. The dude can flat out hit!

[@AdamB34]

Flat out hit... singles 😂

[@dhinton1]

I know the franchise isn't that old (30 years isn't old by team sport standards) but it's surprising that nobody had done it before.

[@sneakysubspodcast]

Kinda yea. But kinda no. Cycles are just soooooo rare. Having a triple with a homer just can’t happen for so many guys. Most triples u need the perfect spot

[@allainangcao28]

The hardest part of the cycle is the triple. The HR is pretty easy if you have the pop, but for triples, you have to hit it at the perfect spot in the gap and pray the outfielder got a bad read or bad throw if you are not that fast. Todays MLB barely prioritizes “speedy” players due to teams falling out of favor with the stolen base so most guys that make rosters are usually players that are either A. Excellent fielders, B. Great hitters, and C. Have good arms.

[@cazualgamer2499]

yeah I wonder who was close to it mabey juan pierre?

[@Windjammer19]

@@allainangcao28 yep, and some parks just aren't good places to hit triples.

cycle is so rare, only 339 people have hit for it, including arraez since 1876, officially over 220,000 games have been played since. Looking at those numbers im not surprised it took that long for the team to get a player to hit for the cycle.

[@craigisapunk]

I was devastated for Arraez to leave my Twins. Possibly my favorite hitter to watch ever. The intensity and focus he brings to every pitch he faces is so fun to watch.

[@AdamB34]

He's a slap singles hitter and nothing more. Lots of guys could hit .330 if they didn't care about scoring runs or driving in runs.

[@craigisapunk]

@@AdamB34 Only in 2023 someone can infer that a player is a selfish hitter for not constantly trying to hit for power. He's 5'10 and like 170, he's not a power hitter. He does what his body can do better than anyone else in the game right now.

[@AdamB34]

@@craigisapunk I didn't infer anything, you did. And your inference was completely wrong. I never said or IMPLIED he's a selfish hitter. I said lots of other hitters could hit .330 if they didn't care about anything but hitting for average. That's doesn't mean Arraez doesn't care about anything but hitting for average. It just means guys who hit .280 with 35 homers and 100 rbi could hit .330 if they didn't mind only hitting 10 homers with 65 rbi.

[@craigisapunk]

@@AdamB34 Games are won by scoring more runs than the opponent. By saying Arraez doesn't care about driving in runs or scoring runs, the two only things a batter can do to contribute to a team winning, and only cares about hitting for average, it infers he does not care about the team winning.

We miss his bat in Minny and he's gotten even better this year. Just 25 years old and going to be the best hitter in the league for a long long time.

[@AdamB34]

Best hitter in the league? Based on what? All he does is slap singles. Takes more than that to be the best hitter in the majors. Give me a guy hitting .280 with 30 homers and 100 rbi over a guy hitting .400 with 3 homers and 50 rbi lol. The goal as a hitter is to score/drive in runs, not to just hit singles

[@everyday_truth]

@@AdamB34 that’s a moronic thing to say. bat on ball, thats what hitting is.

[@AdamB34]

@@everyday_truth no... that's what little league hitting is. Half the league could hit .300 if they just slapped singles all day.

[@everyday_truth]

@@AdamB34 do you hear yourself talking? it's like you thinking half the nba could be a 90% free throw shooter, but they just choose not to.

[@AdamB34]

@@everyday_truth it's not like that at all actually. Mlb players and mlb teams value power and run production over batting average. That's why they care more about launch angle and exit velocity than they do about slapping singles. You want to make $40 million per year in the mlb... you hit .275 with 30 homers and 100 rbi. Hitting .320 with 4 homers and 50 rbi isn't getting you that kind of money. You're either very new to the mlb or you're super old school and you still think batting average is the main thing elite hitters strive for. Either way you're incredibly wrong and ignorant. You can literally hear announcers say what I just said all the time... most guys could hit for a much higher average if they sacrificed power but nobody is going to do that because it diminishes their value to mlb teams. There's a reason why batting average is way down league wide and that's because mlb hitters and mlb teams no longer value batting average because the analytics say it's better to hit .260 with 25 homers and 80 rbi then it is to hit .300 with 15 homers and 60 rbi. Of course if a player can do it all then he's ELITE like Mike Trout or Aaron Judge, or Soto, or Bo Bichette or Vlad Jr etc but most players have to choose between hitting for power or hitting for average and hitting for power carriers significantly more value in the mlb. Again, that's why things like launch angle and exit velocity are so important to hitters in the league today. Far more important than slapping 150 singles just so they can hit .320 lol. Go look at the mvp voting in AL in 2021... 1 player in the top 23 for mvp voting hit .300 or more. Only 6 hit over .290. Now sure, in the NL mvp voting in 2021 there were significantly more guys in the top 20 that hit .300 but they also hit for power with 8 of the 9 guys who hit .300 also hitting at least 24 homers. Again, if you can do both then fine, but most players have to do one or the other and hitting .250 with 30 homers is far more valuable than hitting .330 with 5 homers. You might want to actually understand modern professional hitting before you keep whining about things you truly don't understand.

@@Sneakycastro69 hated to see him go, but I think every team would take an all-star caliber pitcher who'll give you a chance to win in every start. Let's take LA Angels for example - having Trout and Ohtani for several years now without any playoff runs. That's gotta hurt, wasting all that talent. Luis does have the best eyes in baseball, always locked in and his antics at the plate, pure entertainment. Lopez is only 27 and just entering his prime. His first 3 starts have been amazing with a 1.35 era and 26 ks. Overall, Minny is 3rd in team ERA and a league high 118 strikeouts, something you'd never see in the past. Twins finally invested in pitching and the early returns have been great.
