  1. Tom Seaver 3 HR 4 RBI in '72 for the low. Later
  2. Staying low: Ron Hodges 2 HR 4 RBI in 1975. Are we restricted to one per post? Later
  3. Benjamin Grimm wrote: "Broeg on Baseball". Back then, I learned the names of a lot of baseball beat writers from other cities by reading The Sporting News. (God rest its soul.) I still recall Joe Falls from Detroit and Furman Bisher from Atlanta. Same here. Jerome Holtzman, Chicago. Jim Murray, Los Angeles. Shirley Povich - Washington Senators. Later
  4. How low can I go? In those early years, I started off with low expectations and anything better made me feel good. Back to the game - For 15 points, Alex, Did Mike Jorgenson have a low of 5 HR and 11 RBI in 1971? Later
  5. I remember reading Bob Broeg's weekly Cards articles back when each team had their own writer for The Sporting News. Don't remember Hummel's writings, just his name. RIP Later
  6. Jesse Gonder 4 HR 9 RBI 1965 lowest Later
  7. Jim Marshall 3 HR 4 RBI 1962 Later
  8. Moved to member promotion forum. Later
  9. =metirish post_id=126194 time=1684710057 user_id=72] The link didn't work for me , but congratulations Ron
  10. Moved to member promotion forum. Later
  11. MiLB is in partnership with this. I'll be going there tomorrow. Probably better military uniforms, and it will be fun for the kiddies. MiLB's continued partnership with Marvel Entertainment will present “Marvel's Defenders of the Diamond” campaign, where the Yard Goats will wear special edition Marvel Super Hero-branded jerseys on-field during the game with other Marvel-themed activities and promotions taking place throughout the game. The “Marvel's Defenders of the Diamond” game will take place on May 18th and the Yard Goats will be dressed in a Marvel themed Yard Goats jersey for their game against the Boston Red Sox affiliate, the Portland Sea Dogs.

  12. Edgy MD wrote: Took until the third inning for Carrasco to show up. Part of the thing with all these first-inning holes is that Mets pitchers returning from the Injured List or suspension seem to take a few innings to settle in the first start or two. That's possibly a bunch of bullshit, but I dunno. Seems-a like it. If it is, it is well thought out and reasonable bullshit, so I tend to agree with it. Later
  13. We got 'em just where we want 'em. Now let's kick some butt. Later
  14. Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: Looks like Rosario is playing regularly but killing them with a .280 OBP. Gimenez had a much better year last year than this so far. I caught the end of a sportscast that said Rosario may not play - bereavement leave. I'm ok with caps in the colors of the branch of the service of the team's choice. But I'd stop it there. Later
  15. Cal is a righty pitcher, like his dad was. Later
  16. Not sure which thread to put this in, but Ed Hearn received a kidney transplant. Later
  17. Edgy MD wrote: Alvarez' would have gone further, as it was much more of a liner, but Alonso's landed deeper in the seats. The ol' calculated versus actual trick. LOL! Since I can't see the games, I'll go with what you saw. Later
  18. Edgy MD wrote: You really don't want to want this game too much, but it's hard not to really want this game. Well said. Later
  19. Edgy MD wrote: Also, I liked how Alonso's homer took the same trajectory as Álvarez', but went 10 feet further. Yahoo sports has the three dingers at: Vientos 436' Alvarez 442' Alonso 432' https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/tampa-bay-rays-new-york-mets-430517121/https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/tampa-bay-rays-new-york-mets-430517121/ But to paraphrase an old adage, they all look like a homer in the box score. Later
  20. Edgy MD wrote: Ten outs into the game, Senga has eight strikeouts. 71 pitches through 4 innings. Later
  21. Edgy MD wrote: C.B. Bucknor sorta seems to take pride in making bad calls just to show managers that he's the boss. Big ol' chip on that guy's shoulder. The first ump I recall doing that was Lee Weyer. He was a bully who seemed to relish getting the goats of managers. Later
  22. Frayed Knot wrote: Seeing Tommy Pfam batting fifth makes my gag reflex start to kick in. Just a bit over the top maybe for a guy with a career 832 OPS vs LHP? So unless he also ran over your dog earlier this week, relax. I was wondering where my dog went. You mean he did that, too? No, IMO he just doesn't have enough power for that slot in the Batting Order. If they're going to bring up Vientos, why not him there? (Of course, he'll probably hit a homer his first time up) Later
  23. Seeing Tommy Pfam batting fifth makes my gag reflex start to kick in. Later
  24. Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: Does he still strike out too much? That's my question. He struck out 32% (of AB) last year and 24% this year. So he's apparently made progress. So, who do we vote off the island? My vote goes to Pham. Later
  25. Frayed Knot wrote: Edgy MD wrote: Seth Elledge steps toward Detroit, who have claimed him off of waivers from the Mets. Is this true or are you just Elleging it? Into the corner, you bad boy. That was awful. (I'm still laughing) Later
