Yeah, he does.  I always think of him for Reds/Rockies.

I use him when I can when there's a Nats box with another team he played for.   Most people forget his partial season with the Nats near the end of his career, but I don't because I went to a Nats game at RFK Stadium where he hit a walkoff game winning hit.   He only had 32 ABs as a Nat but that was one of them and I still remember it.

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

That's a good memory!  I remember him finishing with the Nats as kind of a "homecoming" for finishing his career.

9/9, 131.   66 of that came on the 300 saves / Minnesota square.

Used former O's for all 3 team/team categories, for Reds 300 saves and Reds 6+ WAR.

Could have had a max of 6 former O's.   If I hadn't used Lee Smith for Reds 300 saves, I could have used him for Cardinals 300 saves.   And then there are a bunch of guys I could have used for Reds 300 saves:  Randy Myers, Norm Charlton, Jose Mesa.

Don't think it was possible to get an Oriole for Cardinals 6+ WAR, Twins 6+ WAR, or Twins 300 saves.

9/9, 133 today.  I didn’t want to think too hard or take any risks for LA/Philly or LA/Atlanta, and my choice was the most popular for each of those.   

When I first read “10+ Win Pitching” I read it as “10+ WAR Pitching.”   That would have been tough!

Oh my gosh. That’s exactly how I read it. And I totally cheated on the A’s. Then I saw they had 140+ possible answers and couldn’t figure out why my reading comprehension is so bad. Zito, Hudson, Mulder, Stewart, Welch, non of those guys had 10 WAR seasons. Had to go back to Philadelphia to get an answer. Philadelphia and Atlanta wasn’t too difficult to get a 10 WAR season for a pitcher.

I was breezing along but I wanted a low score.  Went with Kent Mercker for Brave with 10 wins with a high degree of confidence that he had one good year with them.   Ugggh!

I totally screwed up today’s grid but I was really proud that I got someone who played both C and SS.   Then I saw that 427 players have done it!   That was deflating.  

Did you use a former Oriole? 
I started playing at 9 and all the squares said 100. Currently I have a 59.

      This is a mix of hitting two really hot teams, our pitching attrition, and just some bad luck. Everything is not going their way right now.  Sure, I think the rotation needs some help after losing Bradish, Means, Wells and Kremer and yes, Elias should have done more this offseason to sure up this pen (I was saying that all offseason and through spring), but when the team pitches good it doesn't hit and when they score a bunch, their pitching stinks.  This team was not going to continue on a 105-win pace with their pitching injuries, but luckily, the Yankees have not been playing great either after being lights out for awhile (while the Orioles were red-hot).  No this team is not going to go into a giant tailspin where they end up under .500 and yes, they will eventually break out of this. We saw in the schedule this was a tough stretch of opponents and lack of off days and it's just kind of caught up just as they hot two teams getting hot.  They're going to be fine when it comes to making the playoffs. Now, do they have a deep playoff caliber rotation and bullpen? No, I think they need to make moves, move that are going cost some players people don't want to see go, but when you have never drafted and developed a major league pitcher in 5 years of drafting, this is what your strategy was devised for.  Develop the bats, trade/acquire for the arms. Now it's time to see if Elias is able to fulfill his strategy.

      Not addressing the bullpen other than a stopgap closer in the offseason is kinda coming home to roost now. Doesn't help that Cano and Perez haven't been very good either. The rotation has just been pure bad luck. When your 2/4/5 plus Wells are gone, sooner or later you are going to feel it. Irvin and Suarez have pitched above expectations but you gotta assume they are going to settle into mid-4 ERAs sooner or later. No idea what the front office is going to do by the deadline. It's a sellers market it seems. I will say I hope major moves are made between now and the start of the 25 season, because it is pee or get off the pot with a lot of these guys on the farm.  And if Burnes isn't back, there is a TON of pitching that needs to be added.

      It sure does feel that way.

      They'd probably trade Witt for Gunnar. Then they could just offer Gunnar Witt's contract and we've been told a dozen times he would never turn it down. Win win!

      It's weird, I think some people have been spoiled, in a weird way.   People on here were making fun of the streak...glad it's over, tired of hearing about it...well, this is the flip side of the coin.   It's like people here think this team is above any kind of struggle, any kind of adversity...injuries shouldn't happen to us, can't happen to us, won't happen to us.  We've had it really good since Adley's call up and we've been one of the best teams in the game. 5 game losing streak has some people here on tilt.

      Maybe Witt, he's signed for 11 years.

      All those Yankees fans running their mouths about Volpe being better than Gunnar last year are awfully quiet this season.
