Yes that was definitely the best guess for the 500/O's square.   I didn't think of him, I went with Raffy figuring he was less associated with the O's than Eddie or Frank.

My O’s 500 guy was Thome, and I figured few would remember he ever played for the O’s.  

 

I tried Sosa.

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

Today I learned Expos can count as Nationals.

I took my first miss on the Nationals HOF square half giving up with a Frank Robinson guess in case managers got to count.    The answer key had a lot of Montreal it hadn't occurred to me would have been okay.

Now I want to do George Sisler some Orioles day.

I had to cheat a little. The only National I could think of who might have made it is Ryan Zimmerman, who doesn't seem like a Hall of Famer, but looked up the HOF criteria and then when I typed Zimmerman's name in the box I could see when he popped up that he hasn't been retired long enough. That meant it has to be all Expos. 

Now my question is do Expos still count as Nationals for the purposes of players overlapping franchises, or just for the HOF question?

My understanding is the Expos count for any Nats related box. I’ve used several Expos the few times the curly W has shown up.

Today I got 9/9, except for the fact that when I typed in the name of my Blue Jays all star, some other player popped up and I clicked it before I realized it.  So, I checked my real answer on my wife’s device and it scored a 2%.   136 rarity score nothing to write home about, but l’ll take it.

9/9 with an 81 rarity score this morning.  For some reason it was really easy, didn't have to think too much about these guys.  I maintain that the more you play this game and the more names you remember over time, the easier it gets.  Also maybe since it's a Sunday morning and I'm not preoccupied with my day job, it's a little easier to think about this.

Spoiler

Steve Carlton, Bill Swift, Juan Marichal

George Foster, Kevin Mitchell (Immaculate Grid All-Star), David Cone

Jose Canseco, Tino Martinez, Whitey Ford

For me it's Colorado. I swear the Rockies are such a weird organization, nobody who played for that team ever played for any other team.

      Another possibility: If you win game 1, maybe you don't ptich Eflin in Game 2 and try to win Game 2 without using him.   I mean, worst that can happen is you lose and have Eflin for game 3 anyway.   So you won't lose the wild card series without pitching your two best. But you COULD win the wild card series without your two best, and then you would have Eflin and Burnes lined up for games 1 and 2 in Cleveland

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      I like Law a lot, but that is a beyond asinine comment about not playing every day on a playoff team. You know how many playoff teams would slot him in the lineup immediately every game? Answer: the large majority. The Yankees would take Cowser over Verdugo The Tigers might not put him in over Greene/Meadows/Carpenter, but they’d DH him over their options. Cowser would start over every outfielder for the Royals, IMHO. He’d start over Meyers and Dubon for the Astros. The Guardians would probably start him over anybody not named Kwan in the OF, tbh.  I can keep going.

      Even more of a reason to like FG over BBref,  tbh. Thanks, didn’t realize they switched this year. My point re: FIP is that I rather prefer it over RA/9, not to say it’s perfect. RA/9 treats all runs allowed by a pitcher the same regardless of them being earned or unearned. So, a pitcher on a team with a terrible defense is going to be judged much more harshly than somebody that pitches on a top tier defense. Not to mention the bullpen taking over mid inning dilemma. The funny thing is in your example re: FIP, RA/9 would have the first pitcher but love the second. Either way, these stats, like nearly all single solitary stats, aren’t best taken alone.  For your example, let’s say Pitcher A allowed weak contact and the defenders just had poor range, poor arms, whatever, but in the second example the defenders had great range and great arms making amazing plays to prevent any damage…then what?  Anyways, give me FIP over RA/9 was my point. But if you want to truly assess a pitcher, you’re going to need a few complimentary stats to go along with it.

      Really zooming the microscope in on one game with Tarik Skubal, would you consider batting Austin Slater 3rd or 4th to basically pinch hit in the 1st inning, and then replace him in LF with Cowser in the top of the 2nd inning. A tactic that might look good to the SIGBOT but could freak out actual ballplayers.

      It would make sense. I think there are four possibilities for not announcing Eflin yet: 1. It’s going to be Eflin, we’re just waiting to announce to make it harder for Tigers/Royals to prepare. 2. Hyde and FO are discussing whether to slot Eflin for game 3 to possibly save him for ALDS game 1. 3. Hyde and FO are discussing a possible opener strategy for game 2. 4. Eflin has some minor aches/pains/soreness so we’re delaying the announcement to make sure he will be healthy enough.

      I can see the arguments for and against.  Gunnar may have had an opinion.

      9/29 Game 162 vs Twins. End of regular season

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      I know I've been a Oriole critic these last few months but many of us have and deservedly so but congrats are really in order for a team that was decimated with injuries especially the pitching staff and still found a way to 90 wins and the playoffs. The first Orioles team with back to back 90 plus wins since the 1982, 1983  teams. Wow.  That's hard to believe. Also back to back playoff teams something the Machado, Jones, Markakis and Wieters led teams couldn't even pull off.
