CarGo status: still really good at baseball
(via Twitter)
This stat about Carlos Gonzalez’s hot two months with the Colorado Rockies is absurd:
It took CarGo 50 games to hit his first five homers this season. It's taken him 11 INNINGS to hit his last five homers. #Rockies

Seriously, though. How do you even…???
[ Related: What do you even say about CarGo at this point? ]
I will say this: it’s fun to watch CarGo hit with people who (a) never watch the Colorado Rockies, and/or (b) never watch baseball. Even they immediately pick up on how beautiful of a swing he has, and how fun it is to watch him bat. (And, of course, that’s without them knowing the streak CarGo’s enjoyed.)
He’s certainly a special player. It’s a shame the Rockies have to trade him. (Being kind of troll-y to get your anger levels rising; we’ll talk about that this winter.)
