9/9 today, 171 rarity score.

Quote

Dale Berra, Darryl Strawberry, Derek Jeter

Bert Blyleven, Dan Gladden, Chuck Knoblauch

Roberto Clemente, Barry Bonds, Ichiro 

Dale Berra because I read his book a few years ago.  Decent read, talks about being a highly touted prospect and how he got started with cocaine.

9/9, 18 score today. I thought this one was fairly easy if you can remember some random all star players for column three and it's always easier when there's an Orioles category.

I just learned about a new daily gsme called the Immaculste Grid, www.immaculategrid.com. Basically it’s a 3x3 grid that you need to fill in with baseball players who meet the criteria of both th

I was going for rarity today, and trying to think of someone random for the upper left, turns out 

Spoiler

I somehow confused Aroldis Chapman's tenure (this year!) on the Royals with the Pirates

Kinda agitated me because there are plenty of other options I could think of without trying to be clever. Oh well.

Orioles row today!

9/9 70 rarity score.

Spoiler

Cliff Lee, Mike Morgan, Frank Howard

Rick Schu, Mark McLemore, Jim Gentile

Dale Murphy, Jamie Moyer, Andres Galarraga

I think Jamie Moyer could have fit the first two boxes, too.  I hate using Mike Morgan, but SEA/TEX was the hardest one for me.  And of course, I couldn't think of Alex f'ing Rodriguez.  Adrian Beltre is an obvious answer, so is Nelson Cruz...our old buddy Arthur Rhodes.  Turns out McLemore could have filled that square, too.  Goose Gossage.  But I started off so good on the row of Orioles with the rarity score that I think I was trying to get too cute and think too hard.

The grid today sucks.  All NL Teams and Marlins/D'backs in there.  No awards or number thresholds.

 

I've got 3 so far, but it's been a struggle.

I got 5.  3 I actually knew, the other 2 were educated guesses.  But yeah, that was brutal.

I actually quit after I got the first 3.  I tried to use good old Edwin Jackson but that didn't work, I tried Dotel and that didn't work.  At that point I just said **** it, I've actually got real work to do.

Yes, very easy today.  My score was 116.  There was one square where I had one answer that I was sure of that I knew would be very popular, and four other possible answers that I wasn’t 100% sure of but thought were probably right.  I went with the sure thing and got a 42% score.  Turns out three of the other four also were correct.  So, I cost myself some points but I didn’t want to risk 9/9.

Last few days have been pretty brutal.  Missed two yesterday.

But there's an Orioles column today, so this is good.

  Hide contents

Jose Canseco, Jack Voigt, Ivan Rodriguez

Rickey Henderson, Steve Pearce, Jose Bautista

Eddie Collins, Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken 

 

Score? Had a 43. Pretty sure that is a personal best.

Had 4 HOFers, a guy with 500+ HR, two guys with MVPs, and two starting pitchers. One of them had close to 50 WAR. The other was good enough to get a QO. The nine combined for over 560 WAR.

110.  My Orioles/Rangers pick is at 0.005%.  The rest of the picks aren't so hot.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.

      I don't see the O's trading Mullins without getting a replacement for him from somewhere.  It's doubtful we have anyone in the minors yet ready to step in for him.  Maybe the same for Urias since he's the perfect backup infielder.  I think Mateo and Mountcastle are more likely to be traded.

      You mean like how the Os dealt guys like Hays, Stowers and Norby?  Yea, guys who are good depth but guys we can stand to trade are guys I want to trade….and obviously Elias feels similarly. These guys carry value. The level of value depends on the player and you can debate the value of return but yes, you absolutely should trade out of depth and trade guys that perhaps that don’t match your team philosophies.  That’s what teams do.

      Who knows.  Lots of possibilities. There could be another trade like the Hays trade.  Or maybe you can get a ML ready arm that profiles as a high end reliever. I don’t think that you will get a proven lock down guy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get someone that will end up a big contributor.
