1. yo la tengo (the poor man's Ron Darling) Posted: June 21, 2022 at 07:40 PM (#6083157)EDIT: He turns every batter he faces into Matt Carpenter
Anyway, in 1980, Nardi Contreras was the first. He didn't make it to 1981.
Jose Contreras arrived in 2003 and represented through 2013.
Carlos Contrera arrived in 2014 and bravely held the line in 2015, gracefully stepping aside with Willson's arrival.
Willson was joined by brother William in 2020, then today's Pirate starter Roansy in 2021 and now Mark Contreras has grabbed 7 PAs (0-6 with a sac fly) for the Twins in 2022.
Cruz Morels an RBI single through the shift, 4-0 Pirates. Juggernaut there in Pitt.
EDIT: Cruz then steals second, throw gets away far enough (roughly 2 miles) that Vogelbach scores from third.
Notwithstanding Heyward's 2 hits tonight, of course.
I'm here, watching the Red Sox take on the "only 5 players with an OPS below .600 Tigers(though one is at .607, so could be 6!)" in a nail biting 4-3 game. Story with a 3 run homer and in the top 0f the 7th he just snared at ball for the 3rd out that he had no business catching. He really is a much better fielder than Xander.
Rolando Arrojo is another fun one from the Cuban blockade era. He was the best pitcher in Cuba from 1992-1995, defected in 1996, sat out 1997, and surfaced in 1998 (his age-32 season) as an All-Star for the expansion Devil Rays.
Weird to see these single games (Yankees visit Houston for one game on June 30) due to making up games lost at beginning of season.
