403 errors

[Tony-OH]

I'm very aware of these 403 errors. I'm doing everything I can to get it solved. 

Trust me, I'm very frustrated and hope they will get things resolved soon. I've turned off all ads to try and solve this.

My apologies.

Thank you the effort is appreciated.

Thank you @Tony-OH. It's been very frustrating not be able to instantly vent in the last week in game threads LOL

Obviously being hacked by Yankees fans.

When fixing this, will they also fix the whole issue of getting redirected to other sites through ads and stuff like that?  It is a constant thing.  (Not sure if any/all of this could be related?)

Trust me, I agree. I had no place to vent either!!!

Is this what happened to Verdugo in the ninth?

Is this a thread about the Yankees "defense"?

Position 403 is the shortstop in the ninth dimension.  It's a really tricky throw to first from there so I'm not surprised that he made an error.

@Tony-OH wanted to check in on this. Also now seems when clicking a new thread im redirected to an ad where I have to X out of to continue to the content. 

Is this a new feature?

This is a great site, no doubt. But for a few weeks I get 403 errors when I try to post. I've only been able to get a few to go through like this one. I know this is frustrating for Tony too. Fingers crossed things will start working properly soon.

Disappointed to see that this thread isn't about the 1899 NL Washingon Senators, who had exactly 403 errors.

That was an interesting team despite finishing in 11th place in the 12-team NL, at 54-98-3. For part of the season they used Billy Hulen at shortstop, which is notable because he was the last regular left-handed shortstop in Major League history. They also had Gus Weyhing lead the team in starts, innings, wins, and complete games. Weyhing was the last Major League player to not use a fielding glove, but in '99 only contributed 10 of the team's 403 miscues.

Also, their RFer was Buck Freeman, one of the better sluggers of the pre-Ruth era. In '99 he took advantage of a short RF porch at Washington's Boundary Field to hit 25 homers, but he also had 25 triples. He led the NL in homers by 13, but Pittsburg's rookie Jimmy Williams hit 27 triples. Freeman is the only MLB player to reach 25 triples and homers in the same year.

Williams would end up with the new AL Orioles in 1901-02 and hit a league-leading 21 triples in each of those seasons. He had 92 triples in his first five MLB seasons but tailed off as the deadball era really took hold in about 1904.

The 1890 Brooklyn Gladiators of the Player's League also made exactly 403 errors. I believe they and the '99 Senators are the only MLB teams to have accomplished this feat.

I don't know a whole lot about the Gladiators. They were thrown together during the labor disputes of 1890 and the league only lasted that one season. They went 26-73-1, and none of their players really stand out. I recognize their second baseman, Push-'em-Up (or Move Up depending on your sources) Joe Gerhardt (no relation to 1980s O's outfielder Ken Gerhart), but he OPS'd .539 that year. Third baseman Jumbo Davis (listed at 5'11", 195) was their best hitter, but only played 38 games and made 25 errors. 35-year-old Move Up made 47 errors in 95 games.

You, on the other hand, are never disappointing!   This line just cracked me up.
