Resurrecting the Trivia Thread!!

Recommended Posts

Without looking, try to guess the last season each team in MLB made the World Series:

My guesses, although I'm pretty well-versed in WS history so I'm sure a good bunch of these are correct:

Yankees: 2003

Red Sox: 2007

Orioles: 1983

Blue Jays: 1993

Rays: 2008

White Sox: 2005

Twins: 1991

Tigers: 2006

Indians: 1997

Royals: 1985

Athletics: 1990

Mariners: N/A

Rangers: N/A

Angels: 2002

Braves: 1999

Mets: 2000

Phillies: 2008

Nats: N/A

Marlins: 2003

Cardinals: 2006

Brewers: 1982

Astros: 2005

Pirates: 1979

Reds: 1990

Cubs: 1947

Diamondbacks: 2001

Rockies: 2007

Dodgers: 1988

Padres: 1998

Giants: 2002

Ok, so this was maybe a tad easier than I thought. Still, I liked the trivia thread, hope this jump-starts a revival.

Cubs were last in the WS in 45. It was a Yanks and Dodgers Series in 47. I think that's the one where Al Gionfrido robbed DiMaggio of a home run. It as also Jackie Robinson's first WS. Other than that I think you got them all right.

Looks good, but I believe the Cardinals were the Red Sox's opponent in 2013.

    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
    • I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.
    • This is exactly what EDC said tonight     
    • My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
