The 4-run homerun

[Schwarber Fan]

How many grandslams have been hit this year?

 

It seems like so many. Just yesterday, 3 were hit (Ibanez, Molina, Bennett)

 

Hafner has a bunch. Barrett has 2. The Mets have a lot.

 

Does anyone have a stat on how many have been hit this season?

[Balsa]

Floyd hit one too. And Beltran I think.

[Splendid_Splinter]

So far there have been 108 grand slams hit this season.

 

Here is a link to the splits of every team's stats when the bases are loaded.

The real question is - how many have been hit by backup catchers against the Cubs?

 

Gary Bennett - the 2006 winner of the Fernando Vina award. Why is it that the Cardinals worst players always kill us in big spots?

[Schwarber Fan]

Well I found the stats page for player grand slams.

 

Hafner's 6 leads the league while Richie Sexson has 4 and the Mets have 6 different players with grand slams (Beltran [3], Valentin [2], Floyd [1], Delgado [1], Reyes [1], Wright [1])

I'm not sure if it's a lifetime of being a Cubs fan or that I can see the future, but I knew that Bennet was going to hit a granny. Is it late September yet? Our bullpen needs it to get here quick.

Red's backup catchers would always kill us too.

 

I think there's just something about backup catchers.
