I looked for seasons with >20 HR, >60 BB, >60 K since 1950.
Of those 49 seasons, Dan Uggla has five.
Others with multiple such seasons: Chase Utley, Craig Biggio, Jeff Kent, Roberto Alomar. Biggio is the only other one with 5 such seasons. However, all the others have much better batting averages.
Of the 6 such seasons with a batting average under .250, Dan Uggla has three.

I just saw this. I don't know that I could bear to leave my wife at a time like that, but I hope being with his team mates gives him a measure of comfort.
Edited for spelling
Agree. Why not make them set their LDS roster and have to play the wild card game with that roster?
Thanks. If I'm reading that right, all five of Uggla's qualifying seasons were actually >30 HRs, which gives him more than half of all the 30 HR, 60K, 60BB seasons by a second baseman in history.
Probably.

Mark Bellhorn was a TTO second baseman, but somehow he only played two full seasons.
Dick McAuliffe did it twice, and had a third season batting .274, but two of those were as a SS.
And Grich with 0 just misses having 4 TTO seasons. Two of which he had 19 HR (with over 80 walks and K's both seasons), another with 59 walks, and 1981 when he had 40 walks in 100 games.
I believe the Braves went to a record number of BCS MLB Championship Games.
Bunt by non-pitcher [x]
I searched for 2B and/or SS, >15 HR, >60 BB, >60 K, <.280 BA.
5 seasons: Uggla
4 seasons: McAuliffe, Eddie Joost
3 seasons: Cal Ripken Jr, Ian Kinsler, Joe Gordon, Kelly Johnson, Lou Whitaker, Rickie Weeks, Roy Smalley, Woodie Held
2 seasons: Grich, Daryl Spencer, Davey Lopes, Jay Bell, Jim Fregosi, Jose Valentin, Mark Bellhorn*, Ray Durham, Ron Hansen
*Mark Bellhorn's only two fykk seasons
And that's the right call, even.
They don't award MVPs in the next round, so I'm guessing no.
He brings shame to all of Honkbal.
It was a rocket shot that hit about 18 inches in front of Chipper's glove---it was a short hop that he made a great stop on.
Are you actually contesting the validity of that interference call?
Are you serious? That was absolutely the correct call.
He was very underappreciated. Also, he was only actually good in two seasons, but since he was my favorite player on the 2004 Red Sox I choose to ignore that.
The Turner Field mikes aren't used to crowd noise.
I knew I was a baseball fan when I recognized Mark Bellhorn by his home run trot.
Moffat is really starting to wear on me.
You mean making the correct call is somehow a give back. Mind you nobody is really complaining about the timeout call, just mentioning it in passing.
Says the one guy who dislikes Matt Smith as the Doctor. I mean, yeah, some of the recent episodes have more holes than swiss cheese, but Smith is great.
Yeah, I heard that too.
Nobody here, perhaps.
This whole season has sucked balls. Only the first episode was any good, and that had the Daleks and a great new character to lean on. I do like Matt Smith, and the Ponds but this season has been the worse since the reboot, by a fairly large margin.
If Dan Uggla had a vertical leap of more than 2 inches or normal length arms it would have been two. You can always find a way to blame Uggla.
Haven't seen it yet. I tend to watch my TV on Netflix, but I'll say the second half of last season (Let's kill Hitler to The Wedding of River Song) was pretty terrible.
I'd generally agree with you on that, although I liked "Power of Three" as well. But "Mercy", "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship" and "Angels" were, the more I think about them, more like exercises where they came up with two or three good scenes and then tried to build stories around them, when it should be the other way around.
Holliday with a homerun...Yippee!!!
Amen. Baseball was meant to be a marathon, not a 50-meter dash like this game.
But I'm not bitter.
I wonder if that guy is still tired of watching Holliday?
I kind of liked "The Power of Three", but the mini-season had one very good episode, one good one, two below average, and one horrendously bad ("Dinosaurs on a Spaceship"). I loved Jenna Louise Coleman, but I'm still confused about her character. Will she be playing that character when she becomes the new companion, or will it be a different character? Her demise was pretty much implied in the episode...
Smith is fine, I think they've written him like crap. He's definitely saving Moffat from being complete garbage.
but I'm still confused about her character. Will she be playing that character when she becomes the new companion, or will it be a different character? Her demise was pretty much implied in the episode...
Might try something inventive, same consciousness, new body, actual Dalek companion or something. I'm glad the Ponds are gone. Amy bored me to tears.
It's not even that. It's the screaming and the yelling and the "excitement." Baseball is supposed to be leisurely and calming. The playoffs are the opposite of that. They harsh my zen. #### 'em.
I did like Power of Three, except the extreme easy solution. Angels had such great potential but too many plot holes that you are shaking your head. It does the Angels no good to send people back forty years, they need to let it be known that they were sending them back a week, or a month or a year and trapping them and sending them back over and over etc. Of course that ruins the ending in some respects,(although they didn't actually list a died date, just an age so it is still doable)
Mercy was such a cliche and beyond stupid plot device with the cyborg self determining he won't cross the line, that when he had the target in front of him, he should have just shot. Dinosaurs introduced Brian, who is a fantastic character, and I love the Silurians, and again a good concept, weak execution.
There's no body so she's not dead. Well. Maybe. And there's time travel, so...
I completely get this, but exciting baseball is still good baseball, especially after 162 games of calming. A little tension never hurt anyone.
The previews for the christmas episode make it look like it's a different character, one he picks up sometime in the 18th century(it looks like a scrooge episode, although that has been done twice actually)
Get me tense and give me a sharp object and ask again when the frenzy's over.
Oh jesus, I was trying to be understanding, but you sound like some emo kid on tumblr. Go watch football, that's boring ####, you'll be happier.
A team with that fourth best record in baseball has to play a team that otherwise wouldn't have made the playoffs. That is not exciting.
Ah. Maybe it's her great grandmother, many generations removed?
Spoilers: Yes. It's pretty final ending for them on a similar vein as Rose or Donna, but of course neither of those endings took.
note: when I say the season sucks, it's by Doctor Who standards and my love of the show, but I will still prefer to watch the worst episodes in the reboot than 90% of TV out there. Heck every episode this season I have seen a minimum of two times.
They took your advice.
Listen, I ####### DESPISE this new system. But I still love baseball, so I can still be happy watching an elimination game.
Yep.
Whatever. Tell me about how cool it all is again. That'll probably change my mind.
Yes, she and Rory are very very much gone. Well, until they need them to have a cameo in the 50th Anniversary Plains-Of-Trenzalore Spectacular.
Being a Braves fan since 1991 has been a unique experience. I'd never argue that it's anything but overwhelmingly positive; I'm from Kansas City, I've seen true fan misery. But in terms of sheer quantity of October frustration and pain, the Braves really are unmatched in recent history.
And the Nationals will complain that a team that didn't win the division is in the playoffs. Etc. Etc. Etc. It's the format that MLB has chosen.
Every now and then I see a comment like this and realize that the DVR we rent from the cable company has literally like 1% of the capacity of some DVRs.
But that's OK, I don't like being paralyzed by the Paradox of Choice.
