Colás piles up four more hits in Charlotte loss

Sure, Oscar Colás got another four hits tonight, pushing his Charlotte average to .407 with an 1.152 OPS, but here are some other things about him tonight:

  • He singled on the first pitch of the game, but then he was caught stealing second base
  • His fourth at-bat was a strikeout on three pitches
  • It took him only eight pitches to get his four hits tonight, and while one was a double, the other three were only singles
  • On the double, a bloop that Colás assumed was going/landed foul, he did not hustle out of the box, never mind he’s fast enough to have probably turned it into a triple if it hadn’t bounded out of play for a ground-rule hit
  • Maybe on one at-bat, he didn’t say “hi” or “hola” to the ump or catcher
  • Bares full socks on his uniform, which delights traditionalists but might run afoul of baggy cuff-draggers like José Abreu
  • Does an overhead celebration on every hit, which is fun but at the rate he’s hitting could result in needless arm fatigue

So, if you catch that I’m trying to stretch credulity with this list, you’d be right.
