Huff hits for the cycle

[HollywoodLeo]

Just hit the single to complete it

Awesome! This has to be one of the hardest things to do in baseball for an offensive player. Huff got a triple, that surprises me.

Nice!

Personally, I think the cycle is a bit overrated but I'll gladly congratulate someone when they accomplish it.

It's still an impressive feat.

[BronxBomberz]

Congrats Huff!

Overrated? Perhaps in the hype of it all. But you have to admit that it is hard to do. Otherwise it wouldn't be so rare. In that sense, I see why it is as hyped as it is too.

The hype is what makes it overrated.

If someone hits for the cycle it's all over the front pages of sports sites.

If someone hits 2 triples and a home run it's mentioned as the headline of the game recap and maybe highlighted on Sports Center when they recap that game.

Would you not agree that 2 triples and a home run is better than a single, a double, a triple, and a home run?

[redsrbetter]

Yeah, very true. Especially when a player hits a HR, triple, then a double in his first three ABs and all he needs is a single. The team is down by one run with two outs in the ninth. He gets his single then the next player makes an out.

I would much rather a HR there than a single for the cycle. I see what you are saying and it is why I think it may be overhyped as well. It can go both ways I guess.

Agreed completely with HWood, but congrats to Huff who is really showing signs of hitting the ball well lately.

Congrats to Aubrey. He has really been hitting the cover off the ball lately. I hope he can keep this up.

The Orioles blew the game as Chris ray lets up another of his many homeruns.

Only Brooks Robinson in 1965, and Cal Ripken in 1984 have ever accomplished the feat, and both ont he road, Huff is the first Oriole to ever do it in Charm City
