9/9, 36 today.   That's my lowest score in the last two months.

Spoiler

Doyle Alexander, Davey Johnson, Nick Marakis

Pedro Martinez, Larry Walker, Max Scherzer

David Wells, Devon White, Marcus Semien

I wasn't too sure about Wells, pretty confident on the others.

8/9, failed on Nats Gold Glove thinking that Robles had maybe won one. I should have gone Expos there, as I see the Nats only have 2 Gold Gloves in their 20 year history and I didn't think either of those guys had won one. The O's have 14 GG in that same span.

9/9, 58 today.

Spoiler

Cool Papa Bell, Roy Campanella, Don Newcombe

Lloyd Waner, Adam Frazier, Kent Tekulve

Gary Carter, Howard Johnson, John Franco

I enjoyed including Frazier as my answer for Pirates' all-star, which only drew 0.9%.   

There are 34 Negro Leaguers in the Hall of Fame.  I looked at the list, and can recognize 13 of them.  I really should read up on the others.

I blew not one, not two, but three guesses on the Boston 30 SB question today.  

For SB with teams with long histories, I go way back as SBs were more prevalent then. 
 

I got 9/9, but only 150. Had a lot of popular answers that I didn’t think would be.

Very easy grid today, but I blew the 300 HR career/200 hits in a season question on a Hall of Famer/three time batting champ who, it turns out, never had 200 hits in a season.   Honestly, I was shocked.   8/9, 114.  Very disappointing.

19 today. Not sure if it is my lowest score or not, but it’s up there. Used two Orioles pitchers as non-US answers. Didn’t try to use others, but can think of a former O whip would have been better than the non-U.S. Cub that I used.

I got 9/9 all Orioles with a score of 37, 30 of it coming from one player. It's not my lowest score, but probably the one I'm most proud of. Had 2 players under .01%. 

Spoiler

Jim Thome - Brady Anderson - Jose Mesa

Ryan O'Hearn - David Lough - Bruce Chen

Scott Moore - Felix Pie - Lou Montanez

9/9, 51 today.   My imagination wasn't working too well on the CF questions.  However, my Cleveland 1B answer was a doozy.

Spoiler

Sam McDowell, Grady Sizemore, Carlos Baerga

Ryan O'Hearn, Willie Wilson, Alcides Escobar

Frank Chance, Jason Heyward, Fergie Jenkins

    • Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.
    • This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.
    • These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.  
    • There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.
    • I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.  
    • It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.
    • The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
