I believe it was illegal to pinch hit for Eloy the first time through the order. The Earl Weaver Rule. Around 1980-82 time frame, Earl often had a platoon at DH.   Crowley or Dwyer from the

It's nice to hear Jim Palmer again!

I know I'm late to this... but I was at the game Tuesday night.   Wednesday night I worked late and the game was quick and by the time I got home and put on the TV it was the 6th or 7th inning.   Last night I was playing a 3 game series in my Strat-o-matic dice baseball league.   We had the TV on with no sound, so I saw most of the game but didn't get to hear Jim.

Jim and Ben both are good at what they do but it's kind of nice to switch back and forth after one has been there for a while, to get the other's voice and perspective.

Plus I think Jim keeps Kevin on better behavior than Ben does.   Sort of like a dog who knows he's not supposed to get up ont he couch but there's one family member he knows let's him get away with it, and then when the other family member is around he knows not to even try.

This is why anyone making October proclamations needs to be patient. Who knows what else happens the next 6 weeks.  

I love Manny's Padres and Christian Walker's Diamondbacks going crazy in the NL West.

With the Dodgers it is hard to know if they are lollygagging and load managing the top talents or if they have real problems.

Was surprised to see ARZ/SDP within just a couple games of #1 seed as Phillies have lagged badly too.

      Of course I’ll be watching. Filled with dread in all likelihood. As will most of us.  LOL.

      Very interesting to read through this. Full of optimism…those were good times. Turns out I voted 91-94. Such pessimism…grrr…and even that was too little. Several of the posters should run out and buy lottery tickets because they are definitely prescient.

      With Urias and Westburg back in the lineup...

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      During all the hullabaloo about the team floundering, way too little was said about fundamental baseball judgement and defense. In a game a couple days ago, a guy came up to bat with runners on. This guy is all speed and defense, with no power, and bunted for a single. The radio guys pointed out that with a bunt threat at the plate, the defense moves in to anticipate the bunt, but this wasn’t done. He barely beat out the throw. Even two steps in from the defense would have been the difference. Little flubs like that happen CONSTANTLY, and don’t count as errors, but good teams avoid them without even thinking. The OF collision two days ago. Why did that happen? It shouldn’t have, and wouldn’t have with a good team, yet we’ve had at least three, two of which resulted in serious injury. Westburg and Urias are both solid players with solid fundamentals. Even if they don’t blaze away at the plate, they haven’t forgotten their defense, and we can hope that will be enough to get us to 90 wins.

      I was just reading my unread posts in the thread, and didn’t notice that your post was a week old.   And I don’t consider that I called you out.  The post sort of read like the outcome of the playoffs was so certain that there was no point in watching, so I was ribbing you about it.  Nothing personal intended. I have a feeling you’ll be watching!

      I was expecting Boston to be last and NY to be fourth…I never expected the Jays to be as bad as they’ve been, and the Rays are always good.

      Fewer than 3% of our posters thought the O’s would win under 90 games this year.  They can still win 90, but it will take a 4-3 finish or better to do it.
