Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 So excited were we by the (technical) re-acquisition of Chris Flexen that we never took the time to honor Zach Muckenhirn on the way out the figurative door. Unfortunate!Zach had the peculiar record of appearing in three games on behalf of the Mets cause — one each in Detroit, Washington, and Pittsburgh. So while he was once (and may yet again be, I pray) a New York Met, he was never a New York New York Met — never appearing in a game while rockin' the pinstripes, or even the Friday Night Black. That is lamentable.Post your Muckenmemories here![FIMG=600]https://cdn.mlbtraderumors.com/files/2023/07/zach-muckenhirn-new-york-mets-1024x683.jpg[/FIMG]
metsmarathon Old-Timey Member Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 he has a cool name that totally sounds made up. that's probably all i got.
Fman99 Old-Timey Member Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 Saw him pitch here in Syracuse, too. Still don't have any memories of the guy
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 I would have loved to have heard Ralph try to pronounce Muckenhirn.Later
G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 Slid in ahead of Justin Verlander on the all-time chronological roster.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 6, 2023 Author Posted July 6, 2023 Liked to puff his cheeks while pitching.[FIMG=500]https://cdn.forumcomm.com/dims4/default/71234a0/2147483647/strip/false/crop/3600x2400+0+0/resize/1486x991!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum-communications-production-web.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fff%2F3f%2F9a66d3804d5cb28b79ca22903102%2F2023-05-04t002309z-1381464987-mt1usatoday20589023-rtrmadp-3-mlb-game-two-new-york-mets-at-detroit-tigers.JPG[/FIMG][FIMG=500]https://kstp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/zach-muckenhirn-ap-05-03-23-scaled.jpg[/FIMG][FIMG=500]https://cdn.mlbtraderumors.com/files/2023/07/zach-muckenhirn-new-york-mets-1024x683.jpg[/FIMG]Very blowfishy in that regard.Also, his first big league inning in Detroit allowed him a part in all three outs on defense, starting a nifty double-play and hustling over to cover first for the third out.[media=youtube]O1ztF9wz49c[/media]
