Stuff the ballot for Ced to start the AS game. He's absolutely worthy of the honor.

No doubt.  

I think the max is 5 a day

I hope he gets to start.

Starting and batting 9th for the AL.

Well deserved.  Congrats Cedric.  Go win the AS MVP.

Hope he bunts for a single when he gets up.  I know he's raking this year, but I like when he bunts.

Good on him. Nothing better than seeing a guy break out and do great things on the team you root for.

Its like reliving Lamars 2019 in a lot of ways.

Would be much more like it if the Orioles weren't completely wasting it. But I agree. Incredibly happy for Cedric.

Then follow that up with the big fly.  Show the rest of baseball, who Cedric Mullins is.

It's incredible that with his other stats, he only has 40 RBI. That's gotta be borderline historic.

It is in part that he bats leadoff and even more because of the ineptitude of the guys who bat 7, 8,and 9

For sure, but damn, that's still crazy low.

Didn't Hoiles do something similar one year?

Good memory. He also had 20 homers and 40 RBI. That was with a .274 AVG and 157 total bases in 310 ABs compared to Cedric at .320 and 231 TBs in 419 ABs.

So on those numbers alone, you'd expect Cedric to have a lot more RBI, but as mentioned, his opportunity is low.

[Nigel Tufnel]

Yeah, looks like 1992 Hoiles actually had more PA's than 2021 Mullins with both RISP (92 vs 73) and with men on base (168 vs 138), despite fewer PA's overall.

[BobPhelan]

He's batting close to .400 in the first inning and .376 leading off an inning, situations with nobody on base.
