Just Come on Down to 54 — IGT 9/29/2019

[G-Fafif]

Got one more in there, Pete? How about the rest of you fellas?

5-for-5, five home runs. Out with a bang!

[Frayed Knot]

54 is a nice baseball number as it translates into one HR for every three games on the sked.

Or we can see if he, unlike Sammy Hagar, can drive 55.

[G-Fafif]

54 would tie, among others, Ralph Kiner, Jose Bautista and the first OMG season of Babe Ruth's. 55 would be unique; nobody has ever totaled a Hagar's worth for a season.



The only other player to have belted exactly 53 is Chris Davis. Not the all-or-nothing template one wishes Pete to model himself on.

[G-Fafif]

Syndergaard will follow Matz, just as he did on the final weekend of 2018. Matz was a sidebar to history last year, too, starting David Wright's final game, which went on forever (though if that was true, it would still be going).

I don't know, unless I counted wrong I only saw 14 and I think there's no ESPN game tonight.

I don't know any of these people but I'll give the TKO to the Mets fan over the MFY fan:

Looks like Lowrie has a good chance of not seeing the field all season.



Also, no Smitty.

Wake up, Snoozario.

I'm watching in Milwaukee, glad I can get the game on MLB tv. Shadows look kinda cool on the screen.



Likely Frazier's final game. Hope he goes out with a bang and not getting nailed at the plate like that. Who else do you thing we'll say "good bye" to today. Mickey, likely.



Visited Miller Park to get photos of the statues and things. Team shop had all kinds of postseason stuff. Grrrr. They did have a sweet Pilots low-profile throwback cap. But I can't bring myself to pay $40 for a cap.

[Guest 41Forever]

Good discussion in the booth. A lot of managers will be exiting today, but Gary noting few general managers will get the boot despite having more control than ever. They're saying many managers are figureheads with the front office calling the shots.



Started by noting Maddon has been with the Cubs five years and took the team to the postseason four of those years -- and still got axed.

A pretty good turnout for Farewell, Rajai Davis Day.

Yup. Maybe Rene Rivera, too!

Let's get the lead here and get Syndergaard into the offseason in style.

[Edgy MD]

Man, Luke Jackson looks like he just wandered down from the mountains.

[Edgy MD]

Taking out the righty to send a lefty up against Nimmo. That's the recipe for an HbP.

[Edgy MD]

Get deGrom up in the pen!

[Frayed Knot]

So this would only be appropriate if we blow the game in the 9th here, right?

Yup!

[Edgy MD]

It's a 2019 in a nutty shell.



Should've sent out deGrom, but God forbid they let ME manage.

[Guest 41Forever]

Sewalded. Again. Nobody wants extra innings on the last game of the season.



Panik among those bidding farewell today? Not a bad guy to have around if we have room for him.

[Edgy MD]

Zamora in his full beard and bushy mustache looks like thinner Matt Harvey.

[Edgy MD]

Oh yeah, Sewald just wanted to get Alonso another swing.
