One fan said that the Cubs shouldn't even be pitching to him, especially with an open base. Goldschmidt is on fire but after him in the Cardinals lineup is Nolan Arenado, who is one of the best players in all of baseball.

@MLB @Cardinals why pitch to him with an open base

Another fan said that Paul Goldschmidt is not talked about enough. Have to agree, he's one of the most underrated players in baseball.

@MLB @Cardinals Such a good player that’s not talked about enough. Any young player, particularly at the first base position should lookup to this man. Simple power hitting swing with a gold glove to compliment

Joe DiMaggio holds the all-time record for longest hitting streak with 55 games. Goldschmidt is still 32 away from his record, which is crazy to think about, given how incredible he has been.
