I just posted this in another thread, but I will repeat it here. I haven't heard anyone mention this idea yet...

There is one way to actually watch Wednesday's game live and in person. Get a ballpark view room at the Hilton. I just checked the website and it appears that there are ballpark view rooms available.

I'm not going to do it myself, but I'm curious if anyone else will give it a try. It's your chance to say that you were at the one game in MLB history with no paid attendance. Maybe something you can brag about later.

If anyone tries it, I'd also be curious to see pics. It should be interesting to say the least. Of course, stay safe.

Talked about it with a group on Facebook and a different group on twitter. I wouldn't be able to. I wish I could though. I'd get a group together and do it in a hurry.

I also saw people talking about going outside the stadium and listening on radios. Then cheering and chanting with megaphones, etc. so that the boys can hear them.

I strongly suspect that OPACY is going to be surrounded by police and/or National Guard troops.

That's an awesome idea. It'd be great to see a large group show up. I wish I could go.

      Should MLB Extend the Season?

      By forphase1 · Posted

      Don't reduce the number of games.   Add a few more roster spots to help with late season fatigue.

      Feeling Nostalgic about the 70's

      By spiritof66 · Posted

      I have my own, personal, somewhat parallel nostalgia. I started following baseball, and especially the Phillies, in 1957, when I was 5. While I was sleeping, my father left me a note with the final score of night games, sometimes a line score, and brief game highlights. Those notes kept me abreast of the Phillies' progress -- led by remnants from the 1950 pennant-winning Whiz Kids and ROY runner-up Ed Bouchee (convicted of indecent exposure in the '57-58 off-season), they finished at .500. The notes also were a big inducement to my learning to read and to do simple arithmetic. (I dimly recall memorizing the spelling of "Musial.")

      I think they usually did, yes. While I do fondly remember reading the paper and the Sporting News and the Baseball Weekly, if you told the 12-year-old version of myself that in 2023 I'd have access to every single MLB box score from 1901 to today, along with a much more comprehensive version of the Baseball Encyclopedia, on my computer, to be pulled up in an instant whenever I wanted I'd have thought that was some kind of miracle from the Gods.

      Makes sense, I hadn’t heard particularly negative things about his defense so I was just confused why he wasn’t being used. It’s good to hear

      John Means - Playoff Starter

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      Right. If Means were to have a 3.1 K/9 going forward that would be unfortunate because that would also mean his ERA would be well north of 5.00. In the last 10 years there have been two pitchers with 100+ innings and a K/9 under 4.0. Both in 2013, Jake Westbrook and Scott Diamond.  Westbrook had an ERA of 4.63 in his last Major League season. Diamond a 5.43 and would pitch just one MLB inning after that season.  Means going forward is going to have to approximate his career strikeout rate or he's going to have a hard time. The further from league average the harder.

      Mounty coming back Wednesday seems unlikely if he still can’t swing a bat

      They might refer to that as being "effectively wild." I saw him pitch one game this year, and he was his own worst enemy  by walking guys.  I think it was the 3rd inning, he walked the first two batters (the #8 and #9 batters in the lineup), then got an out, gave up a single to load the bases, and then a grand slam.  He does need to get a lot more consistent in the strike zone and reduce the walks to make it in the bigs.
