The Rangers declined, saying team would be on the road for the final four series of the season, and that it would be unfair to season ticket holders and others. Hence the game in St. Pete. I don't know what the Astros' objection would be to playing both series in Arlington. The Rangers stance could be taken as "a city is under water and they're worried about playing 15 straight road games"? But part of me thinks that if it were my team in that situation, and we were battling for a Wild Card that I'd be OK with my GM taking this stance.

    I checked Adam Dunn, who was the first guy I thought of who might have accomplished this. Closest he came was 2012: hit .204 while OPSing exactly .800.

    I think there was a bit of frustration from the front office ("this guy's hurt again?") and they probably pushed him to try and pitch through it. Looking back that wasn't a great idea. But I can understand that frustration. It was certainly shared by a lot of fans.

    Ronnie: "Descalso played real good baseball his years in St. Louis." Is it in the baseball broadcasters bylaws that they have to say something's like this about all ex-Cardinals?

    Not blown away by anybody on that list. I don't think with Smith on board that first base will be a priority. Of the guys you mentioned I think Moustakas and Darvish would be at the top of my wish list.

    I'm done. Maybe some pitching desperate team can be fooled into thinking he's still good. Maybe Baltimore.

    What a disaster.

    I'm done with Matz. Get Hovvey back up here

    Well we kept the Judge K streak going at least

    Good bunt by Juan. Helped by a poor effort at it by warren

    Frayed Knot wrote: That was definitely an interference (obstruction, actually) indication but no way was Cespedes going to score without it so he wasn't going to be awarded home. What I was worried about is that he was going to pull the idiot move of assuming he was going to be awarded the base and get tagged out as he loafed between 3rd & home. That came up in a (non-NYM) post-season game a few years back but I forget the specific actors. That's also at least the second time this season that G, K, & R seem confused as to how that rule works. Scrappy Eric Byrnes for the A's against the Red Sox.

    Braves lost to the Padres in '98.

    Baylor played an interesting role in one of the biggest games in Mets history. He had a big year as DH for the Sox in '86, but because there was no DH for WS games in NL parks, he found himself on the bench for Game 6. In what turned out to be one of the bigger situations of the game, Davey Johnson brought in Jesse Orosco with the bases loaded in the 8th to face Bill Buckner. The Mets trailed 3-2. John McNamara could have gone to the righty Baylor there, then subbed in Dave Stapleton to play first for the last six outs as the Sox protected their lead. Instead, Buckner lined out to center and remained in the game...

    It's amazed me in this age of information that Bartman has been able to keep such a low-profile. It's Pynchon-esque.

    Game 4 in Wrigley in 2015. The fact that he's been a Met for seven seasons and I think I've heard him utter about six sentences

    Red Sox traded for Eduardo Nunez last night, so that might eliminate one buyer for Cabby.

    Quintana trade broken on Reddit by KatyPerrysBootyHole & Wetbutt23 last night, by the way: http://deadspin.com/katyperrysbootyhole-and-wetbutt23-broke-the-jose-quinta-1796888271 I guess we figured out one of Ken Rosenthal's Reddit handles. This is amazing. A CSN Chicago story on how the trade avoided the radars of the national baseball writers was forced to issue an excellent correction: Correction: While no national media had this story, a Reddit user named “wetbutt23" had it last night. CSNChicago.com apologizes to wetbutt23 for the error.

    I'd do Futures game Monday, HR Derby Tuesday, ASG Wednesday if they insist on having Thursday off.

    At least one of my faulty guesses was a Rene Rivera. I was wrong about Ricky Bones being Rosemary's baby, but maybe he said Goodbye Columbus?
  23. HahnSolo
    Is Ricky Bones [gasp] Rosemary's Baby?

    How about we send Zach Wheeler Back to Marty McFly's time.
