    Not to be overlooked is that gun on Noah Miller.

    Some of the best baseball this weekend was being played in Oklahoma City.

    Meanwhilst, name this ballpark!

    Well done, Detective. Forbes is correct! Like the Pirates' current home, Forbes was considered the class of its generation. It foreshadowed baseball's move toward the suburbs as it was dubbed "Dreyfuss's Folly" at groundbreaking due to its being a 10-minute trolley ride from downtown, but it ultimately earned the richer nickname of "The House of Thrills." Dreyfuss hated cheap homers and that's why all that outfield space is there. The Buccos once hit a record eight triples in a game, and more hard-running triples and fewer smug jogging homers is good baseball to my thinking. After Dreyfuss died, however, left field was brought in 30 feet to accommodate Hank Greenberg, but the real beneficiaries were future Mets legends Ralph Kiner and Frank Thomas, the former of whom gave the left-field corner its name.

    Hey, the more Paul Skeneses that like your comment, the more likely it is that one of them is the real deal. It's a shame, but Facebook goes a little more toward what happened to Twitter every day.

    Not Yankee Stadium. This park has been called home by three World Series winners.

    I get the idea that Ducky hated the name Ducky. And maybe it was that focused rage that helped turn him into a Hall-of-Famer.

    Not Fenway Park. Not Sutter Health Park. But like the latter, it at one point had the challenge of being home to two baseball teams at once.

    Brandon Nimmo catches first pitch from his grandpa.

    My friend Martin's mother was a cousin of Medwick's. Martin was working as a realtor showing an older guy rentals in Boston. The guy was new in town, so Martin asked where he was from, and he said was from St. Louis. He had grown up and spent his whole life in a neighborhood near Sportsman's Park. "Oh," Martin said, "I had a relative who played for Cardinals at Sportsman's Park." "Really? Who?" "Joe Medwick." "YOU'RE RELATED TO DUCKY MEDWICK?! DUCKY MEDWICK WAS MY HERO!!" "Wow, yeah. To be honest, I never spoke to him. He died when I was young." "I spoke to him once." "Really? What did he say?" "I said, 'Hey, Ducky, can I have your autograph?' and he said, 'Fuck you, Kid.'"

    I guess we're the only team in the league that didn't scout Freddy Fermin?

    Waggy should hit for MJ.

    "He thinks I was born old." Two more guys need to reach to bet Benge to the plate for a sixth time.
  14. Edgy MD
    I thought Ewing had no chance at that ball.
  15. Edgy MD
    Had they used Raley last night ... ah, forget it.
  16. Edgy MD
    Let's rally in the ninth and get Benge a sixth trip to the plate.

    Medwick was famously cantankerous and combatitive — to the point where the commissioner took the initiative to personally kick him out of a World Series game. (We could have used you in 2000, Commissioner Landis!) I imagine his crankiness and walking style and a lifetime of days under the summer sun made him appear older to a very young Keith.
  18. Edgy MD
    Strange to see the Mets use three straight lefties out of the pen in a row.
  19. Edgy MD
    Sixty-six pitches from Manaea. I don't particularly understand the point of using openers if they don't push starters/bulk relievers deeper into the game.
  20. Edgy MD
    Hopefully in about seven or eight weeks, Ewing takes the same great leap forward that Benge is now taking.
  21. Edgy MD
    I imagine they were looking at information coming from the official scorer. I'm pretty sure MJ gets an RBI on that homer, but the rules are apparently relentlessly arcane, so I don't know.
  22. Edgy MD
    Thankfully, Tatis is using something that is not his head.
  23. Edgy MD
    Those runs they left out there are really missed about now.
  24. Edgy MD
    And a walk to Soto, and a single by Mighty Jared Young and we have one home and still the bases loaded with no out. Chance to blow this one up as the Diegos go to the pen.
  25. Edgy MD
    Two singles to open the fifth has the stage set for Soto.
