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

Second day in a row.  I’d filled out 8 of 9 squares, knew an answer for Yankees/Giants, but thought I’d remembered that I’d recently seen a Hall of Famer who’d played for both like 90 years ago, that I figured would get a good score.  Zap!   Wrong, so my grid was 8/9, 123.   Had a good score going until blowing that, though I suspect my “safe” answer to that question would have been pretty popular.  

Bobby Bonds.  Pretty easy today.

I did it!!!!

My dream of completing an all Oriole grid finally came true!

Not to mention a rarity score of 10, my all time best.

I got 8/9 pretty quickly, and the Yankee/Giant took me a LONG time and I wasn't 100% sure he played for the Giants but I thought he did, so I closed my eyes and hit enter and prayed.

Never could have done it without the gimme categories. 

Spoiler

Steve Pearce (1%), Kevin Millar (1%), Mike Torrez (0.9%)

Don Larsen (0.4%), Will Clark (4%), Kevin Gausman (2%)

David Wells (1%), Frank Robinson (0.5%, really, he won an MVP for them?), Milt Pappas (0.2%)

Could have also used Ponson for Yankees/Giants. I dunno if I could think of another one.

Wow, I had totally erased Ponson as a Yankee from my memory, somehow.

Looking it up afterwards, another one that might have been gettable was Bob Melvin, if I could have remembered his one year as Yankee backup C..

Never would have guessed Bob Melvin as a Yankee backup catcher.

I always remember Ponson being a Yankee because I thought it was hilarious they'd try to get something out of him, then realizing I'd be pissed if he actually reached his potential there.

I remember him as a Yankee (now that you mention it) because the pinstripes weren’t exactly flattering to his figure.

Which is saying something considering they were designed to make Ruth look slimmer.

Contrary to baseball legend, the Yankees did not start wearing pinstriped uniforms to make Babe Ruth look slimmer in the late 1920s and 1930s. In truth, the Yankees briefly added pinstripes to their uniforms in 1912, then re-added them on a permanent basis soon after Jacob Ruppert bought the team in 1915.

9/9, 19 points today.  I used Orioles for 7 of 9 answers.  Pretty sure the other two weren’t possible.   Those two answers sucked up 10 of my 19 points and I’m sure I could have done a bit better, but I wasn’t going to take chances after my Icarus moves the last two days.  

I think 19 is my second best score, though that’s mostly due to how easy the grid was.  (Same was true for my low score of 5.)

It was possible to do all Orioles, although I failed.   One Oriole was a first round pick who won an MVP -- Reggie Jackson.   And there was one Oriole who was a first round pick who won a Cy Young -- Rick Sutcliffe.

I'm assuming those are the two spots you couldn't fill with Orioles because they were the only two I failed on.

I didn't know either was a first round pick.   I didn't follow the draft back when either was drafted.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Warehouse · Posted

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By waroriole · Posted

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.

      I agree…just not sure the Os will feel that way.

      By waroriole · Posted

      Yeah I can see Rivera at DH. That’s probably a better choice than Kjerstad against Skubal. I’d definitely go with Mullins and Cowser over Slater. Slater has been really bad against LH this year. Only a .543 OPS. He’s actually worse than Cowser against LH and slightly better than Mullins.

      Not that it matters, but for some reason I took a lot of heat for suggesting mid season that Basallo would end up #1. It’s all good. We don’t have to agree 100% on everything.

      I don’t think he’s gonna be a part of any playoff roster, but kudos for him to rehab all the way back just to be an option for us if needed.  Also, hopefully now he’s shaken the injury and can have a normal offseason and normal fall instructs.  He’s a dude that if he could just be another Dean Kremer, would be huge for this org.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      My guess is vs Skubal or Ragans, the Os will go with an IF of Gunnar, Westy, Mounty and Urias.  Rivera will DH. Santander starts in RF. Obviously one of Cowser or Mullins starts but do both of them start?  Would they start Slater? Lefties hit Ragans much better than righties do this year. Everyone is terrible vs Skubal although lefties are worse.
