…one great game by no means indicates that “he’s figured it out”.

I always liked Pie and his enthusiasm for the game. I hope he figures it out and goes on to have a good career.

I’m sure most on BCB will bring it down bc he never lived up to his potential.

I seem to remember him having some sort of testicular injury, and I can’t imagine how painful that must’ve been to play through. My favorite Pie memory was his 3 run home run at Wrigley against the Mets and his fist pump as he rounded the bases. I think it was after returning from the afforementioned injury.

I attended the game tonight in Baltimore, expecting to see the Angels rip the O’s, and my family and I get to see Pie get the cycle and O’s put up 16 on the Angels.
 We had seats four rows from the field, leftfield. First inning Pie air mailed a throw back into the infield to let a run score, then in the third made a nice diving grab close to the line.
All his hits were ropes except for the single which was a ground ball in the hole between third and short. Getting the triple last was nice, rightcenter, slid into third and the crowd ( 27,000, fireworks afterwards) gave him a standing O. Good night, a lot of fun. Great ballpark if you get to the East coast.
 I just wish he would get 500 AB’s for a season and see how he does. I think he made the dog house at Lou’s place. He has a great hitting coach in Baltimore in Terry Crowley, who knows, maybe he becomes a player.
 As much as this board has tired of Brian Roberts, the guy would be a wonderful fit in Chicago, he is a solid player. Oh, my bad we have Miles, damn almost forgot.

It’s still possible he might have a decent major league career.

Which, as far as I can tell, is a record. Pie’s accomplishment isn’t even on ESPN’s front page right now – either cycles are no longer that newsworthy, or they only are when its a star player doing it (Melky Cabrera, Tulowitzki, etc).

FWIW, he has an .808 OPS in 42 PAs since July 1. His overall season OPS is over .700 now. And, as Al mentioned, he’s still pretty young. I’m not saying one red-hot night proves anything, but I hope he gets more playing time for the remainder of the season. (It’s not like the O’s are going anywhere.)

Who really doesn’t care that much about hitting for the cycle?

… Felix Pie went 3 for 4 with a HR. I noted said fact in a post, and got these replies:

Bluemike, the floor is yours. - willie mays hayes’ gloves

Oh, come on…Any player can have a good game. You do know what Pie’s OPS was heading into today’s game right? - DTJchris

You’re looking for someone to jump down ur throat…by posting that, aren’t you??? - calicubfan

“And he’s turned the corner as far as being a professional and being accepted in the clubhouse.”

That makes you wonder how much of his trouble in Chicago was purely mental. I still think it was the right move to unload him, because I hate stupid or clueless baseball players. (Corey “I am not changing my approach to hitting” Patterson being at the top of my list…) But I hope Pie has a respectable Henry Cotto type of major league career.

the start of big things for him.

I wish him the best, and it was sad to see someone with his talent look so lost attimes.

Tuffy Rhodes hit three home runs off Doc Gooden on opening day, 1994.

I was starting to feel guilty
