    With all of those gone, only longshots remain, so Imma guess really young Ed Kranepool got some licks in on really old JIM BUNNING, long about 1964.

    Nice. You shook down all the low hanging fruit. With all of those gone, only longshots remain, so Imma guess really young Ed Kranepool got some licks in on really old Warren Spahn, long about 1964.

    Anybody who can hit a homer, if the stars align, can hit two or three. But how rare is the opportunity actually steal three homers in a game? Three balls over the wall, behind you, but within leaping reach, in one game? That's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — and to be ready and firing on all cylinders and meet that opportunity? That's amazing. I'd feel so good. I'd retire.

    It is even harder to defend in that the Mets were holding him — which the Mets booth were openly questioning. It's one thing if the firstbaseman is playing 30 feet away and they're giving you the bag. Sure, if you're 100% sure you can make it running backwards, maybe take the gift and take the double-play off the table. But if they're actually defending you, you're actually helping your team by staying put, giving the batter a hole on the right side and forcing the pitcher to pitch from the stretch and look over at you and think about you as he throws. I remember a teammate named Scott making this mistake when I was 15 — ending the game getting caught stealing when we were down four (I was on deck), and I couldn't explain to him that his mistake wasn't getting caught, but going in the first place, and as you might imagine, he really didn't want to hear about it. I just wanted to say, "Look, just watch Tim McCarver and he'll explain it all to you."

    I slept through innings 3-5 while crashing from staying up late the last three nights.

    Kranepool came into games late in the tail-end of the 1970s. You know who else was entering games late at that time? A young Cub with a Hall-of-Fame future named Bruce Sutter.

    The IGT streak belongs to Brock!

    I was wondering if it was Washington's team or does the pecking order automatically hand power to bench coach Jayce Tingler?

    Devin Williams pumping it past Lee ain't exactly Franco sending Bonds down, but I'll put it in the same file.

    I did not know about the thumb. Thanks for the assist, Matt Chapman.

    Wow! They don't want to use Baty in left? But they retain him as a potential pinch-hitter if needed. A defensible strategy, certainly.

    The Mets have an inexperienced firstbaseman blow a catch and the runner gets called out anyway. The Giants have an inexperienced firstbaseman blow a catch and it helps the Mets open up the game.

    Baty is gonna go to left, I imagine as Taylor replaced the DH, and the Mets have the option of leaving Torres or Alvarez in the game to catch. The bench is down to Juan Soto.
  14. Edgy MD
    Luis Torrens! The Easter upriser!!
  15. Edgy MD
    Probably the right call holding the runner, but the once-aggressive Tim Leiper seems consistently conservative since that first series.
  16. Edgy MD
    Vitello seemed tio want to get tossed there.

    One play I have hoped to see my whole life is a two-base tag-up. I'm thinking if Young didn't pull it off on that play where Bader fell down, I'm not going to see it.
  18. Edgy MD
    Y'all gotta stop shit-posting about Jared Young. He can do stuff.
  19. Edgy MD
    Crap way to get knocked out of the game for Senga.

    Opening the broadcast with Steve Gelbs interview of Clay Holmes. That's a wrinkle.
  21. Edgy MD
    I imagine out-walking the other team better aligns with winning (these days in particular) than out-hitting the other team.

    Your final is 9-0. The Giants could have forfeited and gotten the same result.
  23. Edgy MD
    Giants sending a position player to the mound in the ninth. Silly new rule says that no ball/strike challenges are allowed with position players on the mound.
  24. Edgy MD
    Tommie Agee hit 26 homers in 1969. It is likely one of those was against his division rival Bob Gibson.
  25. Edgy MD
    Benge staying in center after Taylor has entered the game is interesting. It may just be a concession of the 8-0 lead.
