I like knowing that Whitaker and Trammell are only separated in career hits by 4. They’ll always be linked together. 

Early 90's Tigers were my favorite squad for video games when I was a kid.  Trammell, Whitaker, Gibson, Tettelton, Fryman, Deer, Gladden, E Davis, etc.  Man, if they had some pitching!

Beating Frobby on a Saturday grid is a start to a good day.

9/9 16

  Hide contents

Yogi Berra, Thurman Munson, Sparky Lyle

Joe Carter, Lou Boudreau, Gaylord Perry

Mel Ott, Eddie Murray, Jim Palmer

 

I’m way past the point of trying to beat anyone at this game.  I’m just happy if I get 9/9 and don’t do anything stupid.  

My biggest point getter today was Eddie Murray for Cleveland 300 homer guy, worth 6 points.  I knew I probably could get a lower score if I’d spent a little time thinking of someone more obscure, but I enjoy putting Eddie into my answers.

8/9 224. Couldn't get Brewers/Giants.

I learned today that Pete Vuckovich won a Cy Young Award while striking out only 105 batters in 223 innings.  So, I blew my first guess at a Brewer with 200 strikeouts in a season.  I was able to fill that slot on a second guess and left the Brewers/Giants slot empty.

    • That's an incredibly harsh response to a remarkably thoughtful poster who was quoting a rather reputable pod cast that was asserting an extremely controversial subject. You have definitely lived up to your moniker. You could have just disagreed without taking a personal shot. 
    • In continuance of the discussion in the Bradisch thread re: Cowser as an "elite" OF: I think as the game slows for him he will be an plus defender in LF, hopefully with the Orioles.  However I argued his arm is not yet reliable and while there are little or no stats available that measure accuracy (as opposed to velocity) Savant places him around ~90th among OF's for the most important stat-advance attempts-far behind Hays whose arm is much more respected at #10, Tony and even Mullins "noodle arm" rate much higher.  https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/baserunning?type=Fld&sortColumn=rate_safe&sortDirection=asc  In each of the measurable arm metrics (other than velocity) he is far from "elite".  For advances/attempts to advance above average/succesful advances he is around ~90 in MLB and last among Orioles OF. When you juxtapose Hays's numbers onto CC one thing is evident-Hays has a well earned rep and guys generally don't run on him-guys at this point don't respect CC's arm.
    • I suspect it's because Urias has been hitting much better. I think Westburg/Mateo is better defensively, but it's not a big gap. Good chance this will be a close, low-scoring game. I like having Mateo on the bench in a close game so he can create a run, and some havoc, as a pinch-runner (especially when Mullins is in the starting lineup). Though it doesn't show in the boxscore, his feints from first base were a big factor yesterday.
    • Without doing any research this has been a feeling I have had too.    It is almost like the bats are trained for world class competition but when .475 clubs throw today's Joe Saunderses it can mess up the calibration. Throwing Cody Bradford and Andrew Heaney against the Orioles lineup probably isn't a sustainable October strategy. The hitting pitching balance Elias has kept so far, I agree it is more on Gunnar and Adley to lead the group beating the world's best pitchers. I hope Gunnar gets a Strahm rematch today after yesterday's first ball hack.    If the World Series is 7 close games, Gunnar probably sees Strahm 4-5 times.
    • “Preferred catcher” then. Would have been insanity to start McCann today.
    • Can Cook be a serviceable utility guy at the ML level?  His offensive numbers are better at Triple-A than in previous minor league seasons.
