I’m going to drop a few tweets in here from the Colorado Rockies about Nolan Arenado:
Just how impressive has Nolan been on his 6-game-6-homer streak?@statcast takes a look: http://t.co/1zys4nUrtb pic.twitter.com/XKvZLXpfev

No? Ok. Here are some more:
#Rockies Nolan Arenado first @MLB player to homer in 6 consecutive games - franchise record - since Chris Davis for #Orioles in 2012

#Rockies Arenado the first player to have 9 homers vs. the #SFGiants since #Braves Dale Murphy had 11 in 1983.

Arenado has an RBI in 8 consecutive games, tied for NL's longest streak in '15; longest string since @CarGoMedia5 #Rockies record 11 in '11.

What do you even say at this point? It’s Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris going down to the wire challenging each other in the home run race.
(And yes, joy-killers, I know; Mantle and Maris did it for a good team in a pennant race, and the Colorado Rockies are playing for nothing. Thanks for that. Here’s a thought: enjoy baseball.)
