    A four pitch pitch-around to Harper leads to Alex Bohm who, after a Harper SB, fouls off multiple foul balls before the third borderline pitch of the AB finally goes Seawald's way ... and we're going to bottom 9th

    Some red hot Paul Seawald 9th inning action for the DBacks facing 1-2-3 in a tie game (Schwarber, Turner, Harper) Schwarber = FO Turner = 5-3 Harper = ?

    Turns out that the year Rico Carty hit .366 for the Braves he missed 25 games and notched only 175 hits ... so that blew my immaculateness.

    Rooting for the stRangers but nothing to do with Scherzer or Verlander

    As much as Smoltz and partner (rightfully) gushed over Leody Tavarez's robbery of a Yordan Alvarez HR last night ... that weren't nuthin' compared to Endy's

    Yet still undefeated on the road. (potentially) Four games left, 2 & 2 H/R Safe to say that Max's return following his short IL stay did not go well.

    One of the problems in trying to evaluate Eppler's tenure in Queens is that it's hard to know how many decisions were made over his head, ie: by Cohen. It's obvious that the Correa thing was a virtual Stevie solo gig. I mean, yeah, that deal never actually was made, but was Eppler even in the loop? Verlander talked about how talking to Steve is what sold him on the Mets but was Steve there to just seal the deal or was that a soup-to-nuts situation also? Ditto the Scherzer negotiations a year earlier. And when the decision was made to break the whole thing down at the deadline, was Eppler part of that decision or was it made for him and he was just then put in charge of making the best deals out of moves that were essentially dictated to him? Maybe Eppler, like Ng earlier this week, didn't like a situation where they had not just one person over him but more than occasionally two.

    Texas is 7-0 this post-season yet tonight will be only their second home game. - won two straight in Tampa - won twice in Baltimore then the final game at home - won the first two in Houston

    PHI/MIL = Jean Segura PHI/BOS = Craig Kimbrel PHI/HOF = Jim Bunning ANA/MIL = Tommy Davis ANA/BOS = Fred Lynn ANA/HOF = Rod Carew PIT/MIL = Jeromy Burnitz PIT/BOS = Rich Hill PIT/HOF = Ralph Kiner Hill & Davis were total shots in the dark. I have no idea how to transfer the grid over to here. Every attempt fails miserably.

    If this were a prize fight they'd have stopped it.

    https://nypost.com/2023/10/17/mets-have-options-if-brewers-craig-counsell-doesnt-come-to-town/Jon Hey Man! in the NY Post lists lots of non-Counsell alternatives with varying degrees of possibilities.

    The Phillies seem to be able to win while hitting nothing but solo HRs. Guess that's the difference between having good pitching vs our sub par pitching. Actually it's amazing to think that the Phils only out-HR'd us by five this season. Of course tha didn't stop them from out-scoring the Mets by 79 runs ... but that's a whole 'nother issue.

    Strongly worded memo to follow.
  15. Frayed Knot
    Wheeler's dealin' and the Phightins are sluggin' A leadoff single and nothing else for ARZ thru 4 But for Philly, HRs by Schwarber (1st pitch), Harper (1st pitch he saw), and Castellanos (the 5th in his last 9 ABs over 3 games) 4 - 0
  16. Frayed Knot
    I immaculated too, although five of my nine answers turned out to be the most popular choices in their respective box.
  17. Frayed Knot
    Game 1 in Houston Verlander and LHP Jordan Montgomery get the starts. Scherzer has declared himself to be healthy for the series after missing the earlier round.
  18. Frayed Knot
    Second year in a row.

    Me thinks the Braves are going to regret not taking that run on the WP. Probably already are.

    If I'm Atlanta, I think I'd have preferred Harris v (a suddenly wild) Alvarado rather than Td'A v Kimbrel

    Acuna has been a non-entity in this series. So have several other Brave hitters but they're not the MVP favorite.
  23. Frayed Knot
    Strider getting hit but so far scoreless thru 3 due in large part to another DP started by CF Michael Harris Braves bats still asleep as they're hitless against Ranger Suarez with a whole buncha weak contact. oe: until just now
  24. Frayed Knot
    I could have stared at that Angels column for the next six weeks without coming up with a single answer.
  25. Frayed Knot
    Yeah, if he turns out to be his brother in OBA, SB, and defense but lesser power, I could live with that.
