I'm not sure why I thought Bert Blyleven played for Toronto, but he didn't.

Seems that I didn't know Vogelbach was a Mariner.


I don't either and, even if I did, the odds of that fact occurring to me would be near zero.

I'd get Maybe 20% of these two team questions. And most of that would be from blindly guessing Todd Zeile, Rich Hill, and Octavio Dotel over and over again.

Once again, the dreaded TB logo. At first, I was confused and found myself trying to think of Blue Jays and A's players who had had tuberculosis. The app was a little glitchy today. I got credit for Victor Zambrano as a Ray and a Jay (but you doesn't has to call him Johnson) but instead of seeing his name and a photo, I just got a green box with a little 0.1% in the upper right corner. I had tried guessing Rico Carty for Twins/A's (which would have been wrong, by the way) but his name wasn't available in the lookup list. I thought I had awoken in an alternate universe in which there was never a Rico Carty, a world in which grapefruits taste sweet and penguins can fly.



Anyway, seven of nine for me today:



Rays/Jays: Victor Zambrano 0.1%

Rays/A's: --

Rays/All-Star: Evan Longoria 25%

Twins/Jays: Jack Morris 6%

Twins/A's: --

Twins/All-Star: Rod Carew 3%

100RBI/Jays: Carlos Delgado 11%

100RBI/A's: Reggie Jackson 8%

100RBI/All-Star: Darryl Strawberry 0.2% (one of 482 valid answers; this would be a hard one to miss)

I got an 8/9 after coming up empty on my Royal Pirate also. But I felt pretty good about pulling Dan Schatzeder out of my buttocks for my Royal Giant.



I also went conservatively for Mays/Clemente/Rose in the .300 row. sharpie deserves a lot of credit for zagging while others zigged, but he's a genius and that's all there is to it.



My Giant Met was T. Shinjo. My Pirate Met was Bob Friend. My Red Met was Gus Bell.

The quest for an immaculate grid continues, as I got my second consecutive 8.



Rocky Padre: Jason Marquis 0.4

Rocky Cardinal: Nolan Arenado 44

Rocky base stealer: Dante Bichette 14

Cleveland Padre: Mike Clevinger 24

Cleveland Cardinal: Keef 3

Cleveland base stealer: Kenny Lofton 40

Diamond Padre: Steve Finley 15

Diamond Cardinal: Paul Goldschmidt 62

Diamond base stealer:



For the Diamondback base stealer, I thought about AJ Pollock. I can't not think of him first, as he's both my birthday homeboy and one letter off from being my last name homeboy. But I decided that he never got enough plate appearances to get to 30SB (wrong!) and went with Steve Finley. Finley had several seasons of 30SB, but none in Arizona.



It did occur to me after my wrong guess that Finley would fit in the Diamondback/Padre box.



Dante Bichette, generally a big slow guy, had this weird season in the late 90s when he stole 32 bases while the rest of MLB was in the midst of a steroid fueled slugfest. I think it was the same season that Brady Anderson hit 50 HRs leading off for the O's.



Mike Clevinger famously (around here, anyway) got run out of town and sent to San Diego after he violated COVID protocols.



I didn't think Jason Marquis was that obscure.

As a native Staten Islander Jason Marquis is not obscure at all!

Love the percentages on your card



As an older person I am nailing quite a few on players that have been long forgotten

Posted


Fernando Rodney took me forever and was really a wild guess



I'm shocked at Roger Clemens being only 7%

I went with David Cone in that box.



Every time Tampa Bay comes up in this game, I kind of feel sad for all three players in that column.

Wrong answer for Phillies/Blue Jays - Pete Vuckovich


Just thought of Roy Halladay.
