First entry for next year… -

Wade Davis, who struck out Wilmer Flores to end the 2015 World Series on a tears of joylessness note, has announced his retirement. Last pitched in 2020, for the Rockies.

Fresh galaxy-brain anxiety, from when a couple of close ex-teammates who are both country boys at heart chat: “Yeah, Jake, it's really nice and supportive here, and we're always in contention. With Waino retiring, you should totally opt out and join me here.”

Next opportunity for Matz memories: 4/25-4/27 at STL, 5/15-5/19 when the Redbirds visit. At least we still have England Dan and Sean Reid-Foley from the first time we didn't have Steven.

Virdon was Steinbrenner's backup when he couldn't have Dick Williams in 1974 and nearly managed MFYs to a division title. Was cast aside for Billy Martin 1.0 the next year. Only MFY manager to not manage at any of the MFYSes since 1923, but the privilege of calling Shea his home park no doubt was the real prize. Seems to halve a Buddy Harrelson type relationship to the Pirates: beloved player, let go as manager, back to being beloved alum before long. https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/pirates/2021/11/23/Pirates-mourn-passing-Bill-Virdon-center-fielder-World-Series-1960-manager/stories/202111230104https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/pirates/2021/11/23/Pirates-mourn-passing-Bill-Virdon-center-fielder-World-Series-1960-manager/stories/202111230104

I believe I shall remain fond of the lefty's most efficient outing, from July 31: coming in to face Tyler Stephenson of the Reds, with Joey Votto on first and Kyle Farmer on third and the Mets down by one with two out in the eighth, Loup worked the count on Stephenson to 2-2 before picking Votto off first and instigating a 1-3-5-2 erasure of Farmer at the plate. Inning over. Loup, who didn't come back out for the ninth, was credited for a third-of-an-inning pitched in the eventual 5-4 Mets win. Aaron's 6-0 record marked the fourth season of a Met pitcher winning at least that many games with no losses, joining Pat Mahomes (8-0 in 1999), Tom Gorman (6-0 in 1984) and Jerry Blevins (6-0 in 2017) in the ranks of the ostentatiously undefeated. Loup was the one to start a game or two. Liked beer (Busch Light). Didn't care for giving up earned runs (0.95).

Pour one out.
