Beat the Streak Report: Tuesday, August 9
A whopping 21.7 percent of all selectors rolled with Jacoby Ellsbury yesterday, and the Red Sox outfielder came through with a 2-for-5 evening.
Current leader Fatcat3415 went against the grain with Michael Young, but the Rangers infielder made good with one hit in five trips to the plate. The Big Kitty’s 33-game run puts him within a week of tying jonroy73 for the season’s longest Streak.

There are 4 possible games that could be rained out tonight so be aware. The 4 are Yankees game, Mets game, Indians and Orioles game.
Wind is said to be blowing out at Wrigley, so might be a good game for HRBTS. I’m going with Pena.
Yep. I’m going with him myself Dave. Wind should carry the ball that way tonight.
35 of the top 95 all took Pedroia
Freeman from atlanta was getting alot of picks too
Freeman is going to be a good pick tonight you watch. Pedroia may get a hit and I think he will.
Miguel Cabrera first inning single, gets me to 8
That game is in delay.
The info for Lav’s report will be posted when I get back. Going to go to my gf’s house for dinner but should be back by 9. There more than likely won’t be anything for yesterday since I don’t have the info but I will make do.
Here is a little info. i looked at everyone above 20…
Pedroia 34 including leader
Freeman 6, Braun 6, Votto 5, Wright 5, Ellsbury 4
Gonzalez 3 including 2nd place
Morgan (Mil) 2 including 2nd place, Utley 2, Cabrera 2, Castro 2, Longoria 2, Hamilton 2, Trout 2
Reyes, Pujols picked by the two tied for 5th
Tulo and Fielder picked by the two tied for 7th
Uggla was picked by one, and he is going for hit streak 30 tonite
I’m getting nervous David Wright is 0 for 2 and they are already in the 7th inning. If I go O fer my season is over.
8th inning hit, still alive onto 8 🙂
Pedroia wipes out dreams tonite for those 34 who were over 20
Freeman, Braun, Votto, Ellsbury have all gone hitless tonite.
Anyone with streaks above 20 did not have alot of luck this evening
