Especially a guy who’s walked back to the dugout 5 times.

I edited my earlier question; Ted never struck out 4 times either.
-
When I googled the question, the article also said that Ruth, Aaron, DiMaggio, Gehrig, Ott and Musial never struck out 4 times in a game. Given their power, that surprised me a little. Other names listed of more recent vintage were Brett and Gwynn. One additional name who I was surprised never had one was our own #8. Thought that maybe at the end of his career someone might have gotten him for sombrero.
-
Probably. A better question would be did he ever strike out 4 times in a game? Edit- I googled that question. Williams never struck out 4 times in a game.
-
They have to ride him out. They probably already have called a couple guys in Pawtucket for tomorrow.
-
Ditto.
-
All they have left is Walden. And with ERod tomorrow, he will likely be needed.
-
Too many here expect perfection, and then improvement from there.
-
Now comes the part where everyone is trying to hit a home run (even more than usual in the modern game) instead of getting on base.
-
Okay, much as we’ve groused about the pen tonight, the end result is they’ve pitched 5 innings and allowed 1 run. Anybody who says they wouldn’t have signed up for that before the game started is lying.
-
They had an interesting tidbit on the radio broadcast. Target Field is located almost exactly halfway between the Equator and the North Pole. It’s 1 1/4 miles south of the 45th parallel. You’d think it would be much further north.

A Realistic View at 2019: Part I

It could be done but would require using the two catchers in a different position at the same time. We know Vazquez has played 3rd, 2nd and 1st but I don’t think Leon could play anywhere else except maybe 1st. -

All of which means nothing with the stuff he’s got tonight. -

I wouldn’t count on a beat down of Means. He’s been extremely good at Camden Yards this season as witnessed by his 1.57 ERA, .903 WHIP and a .180 BA allowed at home. Now that doesn’t mean he won’t have a game like David Price did the other day but the odds are against it. -
Like all teams, they have a few bona fide major leaguers. Mancini is an all-star, Means could be as well. Severino and Alberto have some potential to have decent careers and Villar could help a lot of teams. These latter 3 aren’t going to lead a team but they would be nice pieces. The rest of the team not so much, and only one of them is a pitcher.
-
Cora needs to tell ERod that he’s going 6 tonight, whether he gives up 1 run or 15. His choice which. Of course, that assumes any message Cora might relay would get through that thick head of Rodriguez.
-
It was a 2 run jack. Of course, we’ve seen so few non-solo homers this year the confusion is quite understandable.
-
Brian Johnson up (may start Sunday); Travis optioned back to Pawtucket.
-
Were those the games Means pitched? He at least gives them a chance on those days.

Goalies are like pitchers; when they are on, there is not a lot the opponent can do. As I wrote on the hockey thread last night, I knew the B’s were in trouble when Marchand had a wide open net, nailed an 80 mph shot, Binnington whiffed with his arm and the puck ended up in the loose fold of his jersey. That goes in like it does 99 times out of 100 and it’s a different game.
-
Yeah, but it may have delayed it enough for someone else to get back.
-
I knew they were in big trouble when Binnington stopped that Marchand shot in the first. Wide open net, Marchand nails it, Binnington actually whiffs on it but it ends up in the loose folds of his shirt. That goes in 99 times out of 100.

Binnington is doing what Rask did in Game 6. Utterly stupid play by Marchand.
