WHAT IS A NOBLETIGER?

Why, I'm glad you asked! A NOBLETIGER, as said in the original post (https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcitykitties/comments/93jyt2/proposal_calling_a_situation_in_which_a_team/), is a No-Outs Bases-Loaded Ending with Team Incapable of Getting Easy Run. In the top of the 6th, after Ballesteros went to first after a walk, Suzuki went to second, and Happ went to third, the bases were loaded, score 8-4 Dodgers. Then, Swanson struck out, Crow-Armstrong struck out, and after a quick pitching change from Dreyer to Klein, Amaya grounded out to end the inning. Score, still 8-4 Dodgers. Reminder that this term was made due to a Tigers fan noticing how procifient their team was doing it. Add this term to your baseball lexicon!

Mookie Betts Number 300!

Mookie Betts hits his 300th home run against the Minnesota Twins on June 24, 2026. Mookie has been struggling this year but looks to bounce back and get back to the form we all know he can play at. Mookie is the 167th MLB player to have 300 or more home runs in his career.

A Once in a Lifetime Game

The Phillies are the second team in MLB history to have a player hit for the cycle and a player hit 3 homers in the same game. The other was the Yankees on June 3, 1932. Tony Lazzeri hit for the cycle, and Lou Gehrig knocked 4 home runs. The Yankees outpaced the Philadelphia Athletics to win 20-13. Lazzeri’s cycle was achieved in the top of the 9th inning, and nearly came in order. He struck out in the top of the 2nd, but then singled, doubled, and tripled in his next three plate appearances. He singled again in the top of the 8th before homering to complete the cycle in the top of the 9th. The Yankees went on to win the 1932 World Series, so teams who achieve a game of this statistical anomaly currently have a 100% success rate in securing a title in the fall.

Harper Cycles Into Rare Air

Bryce Harper hit his first career cycle in just five innings earlier tonight, becoming the ninth player in MLB history to accomplish a cycle that fast into a game. Eight other players have reached a cycle within the first five innings of a game. They are as follows: Harry Craft (CIN, 1940) Joe Gordon (NYY, 1940) Jim Ray Hart (SFG, 1970) Ivan De Jesus (CHC, 1980) Gregg Jefferies (PHI, 1995) Mike Lansing (COL, 2000)* Melvin Upton Jr. (TBR, 2009) Adrian Beltre (TEX, 2015) *Lansing is believed to have the fastest cycle in MLB history, accomplishing his in just four innings.
