October 1, 200916 yr Not trying to be pessimistic, but Hanley is in a slump right now, and if Pujols heats up in the last 3 games, Hanley could easily lose the batting title. Currently: Hanley .341 Pujols: .328 Assuming each player gets 4 at bats in the last 3 games. If Hanley has an 0-fer the last 3 games, that puts him at .334 If Pujols goes 8/12 the last 3 games, that puts him at .335 Yeah it seems far fetched, but I've seen stranger things happen. Pujols can easily go 3/4 in each game, and even if Hanley gets 1 hit in his last 12, he'll still lose the batting crown. Lets go HANLEY !!

October 2, 200916 yr Hanley's supposedly not playing the next game, so he'll at worst end up at about .336 if he completely 0-fers with no walks, not sacrifices, no HBP, and so on and so forth.
October 2, 200916 yr I'd be more worried about Pablo Sandoval catching Hanley then Pujols. Assuming Hanley goes 0-10 (since he's supposedly not starting Friday and gets about 4.5 PAs per game, plus 1 PH on Friday), Kung-Fu Panda would have to hit .667, going 8-12 (another AB estimate with no walks or such), just to catch him.
October 2, 200916 yr Also, as far as Pujols could "easily go 3/4 in each game", he's actually never ever done that. He's only gone 3 straight games with 3 hits one time, and he got 5, 5, and 6 AB collectively. Even if he did that again, he would only come up at .3339.
October 2, 200916 yr Mr Coghlan may hit 1.000 over the weekend in a final attempt to win over the ROY voters. Watch out Hanley, your team mate is charging up the leaderboard!
October 2, 200916 yr why is Hanley not playing on friday did he get hurt on wed? He's 7-38 in the last 10 games and 0-10 in his last 3 games, he needs a day off. Plus, last thing we need is him stretching this 0-fer and losing the batting title.
October 2, 200916 yr There is no way he loses the batting title even without the day off. Especially since Albert is gonna get a day off since the Cardinals are just waiting for the playoffs.
October 2, 200916 yr There is no way he loses the batting title even without the day off. Especially since Albert is gonna get a day off since the Cardinals are just waiting for the playoffs. Sandoval is at .330, as pointed out, I think he'd have to go about 8-12 if Hanley plays the worst games of his life. It's unlikely but still possible.

Plus, last thing we need is him stretching this 0-fer and losing the batting title. Same conclusion I came to. Plus his #'s this year vs Blanton are very un-Hanley-like. It could be taken as the team seems to be helping him win that title. As they should.
October 3, 200916 yr What a joke this thread is.... hanley is a LOCK! how about a ban bet? :lol I agree this thread should be a lock as well
October 3, 200916 yr Pujols has started 0-3 today, basically eliminating him. Panda basically has to go 7-8 to have a shot if Hanley goes fails to reach base with no sacs for the next 2 games.
October 4, 200916 yr Author What a joke this thread is.... hanley is a LOCK! how about a ban bet? I agree this thread should be a lock as well All I'm giving you is a possible scenario. I even said it's unlikely but why should my thread be locked or I get banned just for giving a hyptohetical scenario that is unlikely but still possible ?? You guys are jokes to this message board if you think this thread should be locked, end of story.
October 4, 200916 yr BTW, Hanley has locked it up. Also, there is no reason this thread should have been locked.
