Kemp's silly cycle and quote yesterday

[1952boyntoncollector]

Well this cycle is just so hard....since the discussion about it for a week, another incredible cycle is achieved, first one for the padres..

such a great team accomplishment...he actually almost had a second homer...

if you look at the MLB article , Kemp says Nolan Arenado asked him a 'tough' question about his last hit which was almost a homer.....'Would you rather it have been a homer run or a triple'

Kemp said ' I like home runs, but it was my first cycle...so I think the cycle would be better'


Lets continue to praise lesser accomplishments for the player and for the team.... why get a homer when you can get a triple for the cycle...sounds better for the team and the player...maybe he does stop on third if the ball goes over the wall.....lets get that triple?

anyway it only took a week for an actual sports event to back up what I have been saying...I know people disagree with me and everyone can have their own opinion but what I been saying isn't out in left field ....

I would of rather of had the 2 homers double and single...that should be more celebrated...more total bases..more rbis, possibly more runs and better for the team ..but that's just one guys opinion....than having a 1 in every category.....if the cycle meant nothing and wasn't celebrated, Kemp wouldn't ever of been asked that 'tough question'

.....and so what, he didn't hit a homer, he hit a triple. I don't see them throwing parades in the street for him. He's a trivia question, that most people will forget the answer to in a years time.

I'll be shocked if there's a single incidence in history where a player actually hurt their team by "going" for a cycle. BTW, nobody, absolutely nobody, hits a triple "on purpose".

nobody hits a double on purpose either...........easy to say you would be shocked theres a single incidence in history where a player actually hurt their team going for a cycle....we will never know either way as many cycles were never achieved.......however there have been players that said they would rather have a triple than a homerun..such as YESTERDAY......they aren't throwing parades..but its celebrated enough that a player said hed rather have a triple than a homerun..looks like means more than nothing...
