Eddie bartended and served me a beer at Flying Dog Brewing about a year and three weeks ago on that Orioles' Caravan weekend or whatever it was called. It is my favorite memory of 2020. I ca

When Patrick was an 11 and-a-half year-old boy in the summer of 1977, he used to love checking the A.L. stats in the NY Daily News sports section on Sunday mornings, and watch the 21 year-old kid climbing the charts every week.

After 7 PM, it was Chuck Thompson on WBAL on our old AM-radio set up here in Brewster, followed by Herb Jepko and The Nitecaps.

My all time favorite player Eddie Clarence Murray turns 58 today.

Me too. Eddie is the Man. When he was inducted into the HoF I took my son Edward up there. Whereever we went in Cooperstown Edward would perk up his ears and look around because invariably, from some direction, would be coming a chant of 'Eddie Eddie ...'. It was a great experience that we will both have forever. Eddie too I suspect.

      Feeling Nostalgic about the 70's

      That's pretty cool.  I'm sure you remember the game against the Senators when he hit grand slams in back to back innings in 1970.

      Yeah I think it is more of just the time of year, and just having him focus on what he needs to focus on. They probably learned a lesson from Cowser that there is little need for him to focus attention to defense when they just need his bat.

      John Means - Playoff Starter

      Means' 3.1 K/9 isn't going to be sustained anymore than his .135 BABIP is.

      I think that's right, except I'm not convinced that Kjerstad (I keep wanting to add a "t" at the end of his name) will be better than Santander next year, at least in home games. I think Santander is pretty good in a small RF like Camden Yards, and I haven't seen Kjerstad's arm enough to think he'll throw as well or better than Tony.

      Speaking of late games, I remember that Frank Robinson hit his 500th homer in a game that was too late for the box score to be in the paper.  So, at the end of the week, I rode my bike 6-7 miles round trip to the local drug store to buy The Sporting News so I could have that box score.

      How about some love for Baseball Weekly from the early 90's?

      John Means - Playoff Starter

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      So in the above 8 pages, I think we have established that it is harder, but possible, to succeed with a below average K rate. I think we can also agree that Means has a track record of success as an above average (but not elite) pitcher (3.75 ERA, 122 ERA+) with below average K rate (7.6). Not to belabor this further, but the real question to ask (which I think Sports Guy may be getting at) is whether Means' current 3.1 K/9 is concerning. The more important comparison is not to league average, but to Means' own career norms. Especially because he is coming off TJ, a big change in K/9 could indicate a major dropoff or change in stuff.  My feeling with his second start was that he looked pretty bad despite allowing few runs. Last night from what I saw the eye test matched the results. I doubt he will succeed if he continues with 3.1 K/9, but I think if he pitches the way he did last night he will get more K's. Overall, very comfortable with him as a playoff starter and a middle rotation guy heading into next year, but have to be concerned in view of his TJ.
