Week 6: Buster Posey

Buster Posey is no stranger to this blog. He was my Week 8 MLBoyfriend last year and made several appearances in special posts in 2016. So, Posey always on my radar--and last week he pinged loudly.

Buster has been surging at the plate. Last week, he had an impressive .429 batting average and 1.568 OPS with 5 RBIs, 8 runs, only one strikeout, and 4 home runs. 

The most newsworthy of those home runs was this walk-off dinger against Cincinnati in the 17th inning. That's right, the Giants and the Reds almost played two complete baseball games Friday night/early Saturday morning.

Keep in mind, Posey is still a catcher--a position not know for its power hitters. This makes his recent performance all the more impressive.

Congratulations, Buster Posey! You had a heck of a week and fully deserve your repeat win as my MLBoyfriend.

PS: I covet the shoes Buster wore on Mother's Day.

Honored to wear these on Sunday. Happy early Mother's Day! #IWILL
