Crawford pulls off triple ploy

[BronxBomberz]

"Three Dog" is baseball's triple king. Carl Crawford might not lead the American League in triples right now -- Detroit's Curtis Granderson has 13 and Crawford has eight -- but rest assured, Crawford will be right up there at the end of the season. He is the man when it comes to rounding second and heading to third to claim a three-bagger.
"As far as I've ever seen, he is [the best at hitting triples]," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Most of the balls he hits, for the normal guy, is a double. But he's thinking triple from the moment he leaves the batter's box. And he has the speed to do it. ... It's a speed thing as much as anything. He just knows if he hits a ball in the right spot, it's a triple, not a double. His first thought is triple, whereas most guys' first thought is double."

He sure can fly. From what I have seen of him he is one of the faster baserunners in the game. The only guy I can compare him to is someone I see alot and that is Corey Patterson of the Orioles. Crawford does seem to put on the after burners after he rounds 2nd.

Granderson has 16 now and Crawford still has only 8. Crawford hasn't had a triple for over a month now.

Granderson > Crawford

Crawford>Granderson.

Granderson actually plays in a mammoth park, triples haven.

Anyone want to get the splits on his Home vs. Away Triples?
