It's been 92 games and 38 bombs. When will they find out and adjust?Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Sat Jul 12, 2025 5:21 pmBut if he keeps doing that pitchers will adjust. Julio is case in point.seattlefan-daBronx wrote: ↑Sat Jul 12, 2025 4:25 pmThe man is two bombs away from HISTORY!

I am not concerned about his OBP over a 10 game stretch, on the other hand...six home runs in 10 games is pretty stinking good!

Re: Will Cal be #1?
So all of his hits being HRs indicates nothing? I wonder what his K-rate and fly ball rates have looked like. I'm just worried that he has changed his approach in a way that pitchers can take advantage of once they adjust to it.

Re: Will Cal be #1?
talk about prophetic posts, me from last season on Cal...remember cautioning we were expecting too much out of him terms of his offense
Yeah, hes putting up better numbers than Wilson so far. I've said before I think it's unrealistic to expect him as a catcher to carry the offense. That he delivers home runs is terrific
Re: Will Cal be #1?
#45 Ties Bench for #2 all- time in HR as a catcher.
Re: Will Cal be #1?
Witnessing history. Don't take it for granted. Might end up being an unbreakable record given how man games catchers get off a season.

Cal is #1at HR for Catchers all time!
Re: Will Cal be #1?
Only 50 times has a player hit 50 HR or more in a season. That 50 HR in a season has been accomplished by 32 players. The most 50 HR seasons in a career are shared by Babe and Mark with 4 each.
The next HR he hits he will join that exclusive club. With each HR he is basically climbing over somebody from here on out.
