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

9/9, 110 today. I only used 6 points on the Orioles line but the Rockies line cost me 71.   Any time I can get 9/9 on a teams-only grid is a good day.  

I hate the team only.  Was 6/6.  Couldn’t think of Rockie/Royal, Indian/National, or National/Royal.  Finally guessed Bob Hamelin as Rockie/Royal and washed out.

8/9/. Royals/Nats got me, then I saw that the most popular player was Michael A. Taylor and I'm pretty sure I've used him before for the same grid.  That was annoying.

Orioles line was 4.3%

184

Spoiler

Jeremy Guthrie, Alan Wiggins, Hanser Alberto

Jason Giambi, Vinny Castilla, Bret Saberhagen

Dennis Martinez, Juan Soto, miss

9/9, 109 today.  I’m on a roll!

Cost myself serious points by picking a safe answer for Toronto 200 game winner.  I had a much better answer that I wasn’t 100% sure of.   

There are only 6 answers there. I could only think of two. That one and the Reds 200 game winner is where I got all of my points. 15.8 for the other seven.

Got under 1% for my Reds 200 game winner, a former Oriole.

8/9 on that one.   Stumped by Rockies/Padres for some reason.   I had already used Jordan Lyles to get Orioles/Padres 0.1% so I couldn't use him for SD/Col.

Of the 8, 7 were Orioles:

Bal/Cle -- Dempsey
Bal/SD -- Lyles
Bal/KC -- Jorge Lopez

Colo/Cle -- Ubaldo
Colo/SD -- missed.  (In addition to Lyles I could have used Jay Payton here for an Oriole, looked up after the fact)
Colo/KC -- Gregg Zaun (wasn't 100% sure but I took a guess and got lucky)

Wash[Mon]/Cle -- Dennis Martinez
Wash/SD -- Nelson Cruz
Wash/KC -- I went with a non-Oriole, Alcides Escobar.   After the fact I found I could have used Maikel Franco.

That was a gettable all Oriole grid.   I couldn't quite pull it off.

Steve Finley was my choice.  

I don't know why but for some reason I never think of him for those teams he bounced around with that the very end of his career.   I think if him for Baltimore, Houston, Arizona and San Diego.    I never think of him for Dodgers, Giants and Rockies.   Can't picture him in those uni's at all.

Now that I've put that into writing maybe next time I will remember.   Pretty easy to remember, after leaving Baltimore he played for Houston and the entire NL West.   So he can be an answer for any NL West pairing, just like Steve Pearce can be an answer for any AL East pairing.

Another thing I really need to do is bone up on which of the great players from 1900 - 1940 played for teams like the Phillies, Athletics, etc.  There’s a lot of Hall of Famers from that era where I don’t remember who they played for.  Al Simmons cracked 40 doubles four times for the Philadelphia A’s.  

I bet @DrungoHazewoodcould put up some incredibly low scores in this game.  
 

Eh, I don't know, maybe. I think I'm incredibly deep on some things, not so much on others. I'm probably decent on stuff like the 1930s A's, but anybody who can pull three names from some of those endless 47-107 Phillies teams managed by Doc Prothro has to be born and raised in Philly in unfortunate family circumstances that resulted in a deeply twisted personality. It's like knowing the June 11th, 1988 starting lineup of the O's, in 2055.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
