how will the trivia question go?

4. TomH Posted: July 23, 2019 at 04:31 PM (#5864293)

who am I?

I hold the ignominious pitching record of allowing the most earned runs in a season since 1920; 162!
(hints to follow if you want them)
----------------------------- but I had a winning record that year
---------------------------------------- and after that season, I didn't play MLB the next year, or the next....
------------------------------------------------- my career W-L record was 53 and 34
----------------------------------------------------------- as a coach, I guided some young pitcher named Musial to try a career as a hitter

Can’t he just lay his one hand on the other hand?

15. the Hugh Jorgan returns Posted: July 23, 2019 at 08:51 PM (#5864355)

Sale pitching for the Red Sox. Be prepared for the whopping 3 runs of support the offense gives him every game....

16. Fred Lynn Nolan Ryan Sweeney Agonistes Posted: July 23, 2019 at 08:53 PM (#5864356)

Ramon ("Laser") Laureano will be a Gold Glove center fielder if he ever learns to play the position.
Meanwhile, we get stuff like tonight, when he misplayed Yuli Gurriel's line single (unwisely went for the diving catch) into an inside-the-park home run. Astros lead, 2-0 in the second inning.

17. Howie Menckel Posted: July 23, 2019 at 09:03 PM (#5864357)

Robinson Cano has 3 HR at Citi Field this season:
- April 6
- tonight
- tonight, again

both came off Chris Paddack, the Padres phenom who trails 2-0 against 2017 AL Wins leader (!) Jason Vargas. JV allowed 1 hit in 6 IP in what could be his Mets swan song

#NOWhowmuchwouldyoupay

Paddack screamed \"####!" into his glove as he reached the dugout, then yelled "I ###### IT UP!" on camera

in comes another phenom, 6-foot-8 Michel Baez. the Padres have tons of these

18. Bote Man Posted: July 23, 2019 at 09:10 PM (#5864358)

What is this mystical place of Washington DC, where Ian Desmond gets a big ovation coming to bat for the first time?

Eh, long-time player with the Nationals. So long, in fact, that he is the last active player from the Expos era; drafted in 2004, debut in 2007 with the Nats.

Trea Turner has a HR, 3B, 1B. If I see Lance FÜCKING Cormier within a mile of that stadium when Trea comes to bat next, there's gonna be big trouble in the Districk!

19. What did Billy Ripken have against ElRoy Face? Posted: July 23, 2019 at 09:11 PM (#5864360)

Paddack screamed \"####!" into his glove as he reached the dugout, then yelled "I ###### IT UP!" on camera

He seems to have some anger management issues. Not a big fan of the ‘super ultra mega intense guy’ schtick.

20. base ball chick Posted: July 23, 2019 at 09:19 PM (#5864363)

that is the first time i have seen ramon laureano seriously misjudge a simple fly ball AND not make a great throw - or maybe it was the cutoff man who didn't. it's not like yuli gurriel is myles straw

21. rconn23 Posted: July 23, 2019 at 09:24 PM (#5864367)

I wish anyone but Gary Sanchez were up with the bases loaded at this point. Maybe Boone will eventually decide to move Gleyber up in the lineup. Nah, who am I kidding.

22. rconn23 Posted: July 23, 2019 at 09:30 PM (#5864369)

Gary Sanchez is lost as a player.

23. the Hugh Jorgan returns Posted: July 23, 2019 at 09:32 PM (#5864371)

Vazquez with the PH dinger, Sox up 3-2. Pen needs to hold, no way the Sox are getting more than 3 this game. Maybe they can call SF and trade for one of their relievers....

24. Howie Menckel Posted: July 23, 2019 at 09:37 PM (#5864372)

Robinson Cano has 4 HR at Citi Field this season:
- April 6
- tonight
- tonight, again
- tonight, AGAIN

first 3-HR game of his career. has 5 RBI in a 5-0 game

Mets announcer Gary Cohen says after first pitch, "Cano now has 319 HR, and he shares that number with an interesting duo." pause for pitch - and..... he has 320 HR.

anyway, the two guys with 319 are Cecil Fielder and Prince Fielder.

25. rconn23 Posted: July 23, 2019 at 09:38 PM (#5864373)

Good thing the Yankees have a lead in the division, because they have a fraudulent pitching staff. Being thoroughly outplayed by the Twins.

26. Howie Menckel Posted: July 23, 2019 at 09:40 PM (#5864374)

17 up, 17 down for Caleb Smith of Marlins at White Sox.

guh, walk

27. What did Billy Ripken have against ElRoy Face? Posted: July 23, 2019 at 09:41 PM (#5864375)

the two guys with 319 are Cecil Fielder and Prince Fielder.

I think Frank Howard and Ryan Howard are also tied. Slightly different though.

28. Howie Menckel Posted: July 23, 2019 at 09:49 PM (#5864379)

I think Frank Howard and Ryan Howard are also tied. Slightly different though.

they are, but Jim Rice is a third wheel there. Cano was - for about 20 minutes

29. Joyful Calculus Instructor Posted: July 23, 2019 at 09:50 PM (#5864380)

[4] My first thought was Shawn (Sean?, I forget tbh) Estes. I remember him having a year in Colorado when he won a lot of games while giving up a lot of runs and thought he was out of baseball after that. However, I thought he won more than 53 games in his career, more like 100 or so. Guess it's time to look him up.

Edit: Estes did indeed lead the league in earned runs allowed that year, but nowhere close to 162. And he hung around for 4 seasons after that. He finished with 101 wins, so I was close there.

30. Bote Man Posted: July 23, 2019 at 09:51 PM (#5864381)

He seems to have some anger management issues. Not a big fan of the ‘super ultra mega intense guy’ schtick.

Paddack seems like a crazy horse to me.

31. rconn23 Posted: July 23, 2019 at 09:55 PM (#5864383)

The Yankees are in full self destruct mode.

32. Howie Menckel Posted: July 23, 2019 at 09:59 PM (#5864384)

Damien Easley - an ex-Met, no less - had the record for being the oldest second baseman to hit 3 HR in a game.

he's now a Padres coach, so he got to watch Robinson Cano obliterate his record from a front-railing spot in the dugout.

33. Hot Wheeling American Posted: July 23, 2019 at 10:01 PM (#5864386)

The Yankees are in full self destruct mode.

6-4 in their last ten games, won five games in a row before two losses. Only up on second place by nine games. Can you say free fall, baby!!!

34. Bote Man Posted: July 23, 2019 at 10:04 PM (#5864388)

Trea Turner just completed his second cycle, with an RBI no less. This one comes against the Rockies in D.C., the other came against the Rockies in Denver.

35. Meatwad Posted: July 23, 2019 at 10:16 PM (#5864392)

How the hell does darvish only have 16 pitches in 2 innings?

36. Fred Lynn Nolan Ryan Sweeney Agonistes Posted: July 23, 2019 at 10:18 PM (#5864393)

that is the first time i have seen ramon laureano seriously misjudge a simple fly ball AND not make a great throw - or maybe it was the cutoff man who didn't. it's not like yuli gurriel is myles straw

Neither relay throw was good.

But that's just it, Laureano's arm and speed are so good that he takes a bad route or clanks one but then his athleticism makes up for it (or almost makes up for it) and it looks like he's AMAZING. But it's a lot of bad routes, and too much clanking.

37. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 23, 2019 at 10:21 PM (#5864396)

Sir Didi!

5-8

38. Fred Lynn Nolan Ryan Sweeney Agonistes Posted: July 23, 2019 at 10:22 PM (#5864397)

Oh Matt Olson you are so dreamy: A's suddenly lead Astros, 3-2, with 2 outs in the top of the 9th.

39. Meatwad Posted: July 23, 2019 at 10:25 PM (#5864398)

I think javy was trying to steal home there.

40. base ball chick Posted: July 23, 2019 at 10:37 PM (#5864401)

osuna the woman beater sucks - poor miley, almost had a complete game SO there

i guess i don't see laureano play enough to see the bad routes or clanking and he gets all those highlights

41. the Hugh Jorgan returns Posted: July 23, 2019 at 10:38 PM (#5864403)

Red Sox try to give it away, but hang on 5-4. With NY losing, all things trending the right way!

42. puck Posted: July 23, 2019 at 10:47 PM (#5864406)

The Yonder Alonso era in Colorado has begun. Already an improvement on Mark Reynolds with a pinch hit RBI double. Though cutting the lead to 11-1 in the 9th...must have about as much WE as a K.

43. Howie Menckel Posted: July 23, 2019 at 10:47 PM (#5864407)

funny to hear the Astros announcers whistling in the graveyard as Miley goes out there in the 9th with a 2-0 lead and just over 100 pitches. lots of kumbaya of how great it is in the dugout that the manager believes in his pitcher, yada yada yada.

guys, it's Wade Miley, not 1986 Mike Scott. so he walks the leadoff batter, then allows a single.
in comes Osuna for that 3-run dinger.

it's all good, though - the dugout is happy because the manager thinks Miley is all that.

44. the Hugh Jorgan returns Posted: July 23, 2019 at 10:49 PM (#5864408)

i guess i don't see laureano play enough to see the bad routes or clanking and he gets all those highlights

I assume you saw the inside the parker from today? He had no chance ever of catching that ball, it was very poorly played.

45. base ball chick Posted: July 23, 2019 at 11:04 PM (#5864412)

i DID see the inside the parker - got a text - you GOTTA see this so i caught the replay. i mean, yuli gets an inside the parker? yuli who gets pulled for pinch runners in late innings????!!!!

laser seriously misplayed that ball. i don't understand why on earth those obvious effups are never called errors because that was a REALLY BAD misplay

46. base ball chick Posted: July 23, 2019 at 11:07 PM (#5864413)

i see laureano has got back the 2 runs he gave up

47. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 23, 2019 at 11:07 PM (#5864414)

Sanchez is just murdering the Yankees right now.

48. Fred Lynn Nolan Ryan Sweeney Agonistes Posted: July 23, 2019 at 11:10 PM (#5864415)

i see laureano has got back the 2 runs he gave up

Laureano's shot down the LF line stopped right under the fence padding in the corner, OF didn't hesitate to grab it & throw it... but somehow it's ruled a ground-rule double, and Canha is sent back to third. A's just up one run now.

49. The Yankee Clapper Posted: July 23, 2019 at 11:32 PM (#5864418)

Aaron Judge gavels a double off the centerfield wall, missing a HR by a foot or two, to drive in 2, bringing the Yankees within 1.

50. Joyful Calculus Instructor Posted: July 23, 2019 at 11:37 PM (#5864419)

Coming into the season, it looked like the Giants would have a crappy team that wouldn't compete for a playoff spot. Then three months into the season, it looked like the Giants were a crappy team out of the playoff race. Are... the Giants good now?

51. The Yankee Clapper Posted: July 23, 2019 at 11:48 PM (#5864420)

Didi’s 2-out double drives in 2; Yankees lead 10-9! Twins Manager ejected for belatedly complaining about earlier balls & strikes.

52. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 23, 2019 at 11:49 PM (#5864422)

Sir Didi will not be denied.

Twins 8, Sir Didi 7 (+3 makes 10)

53. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 23, 2019 at 11:51 PM (#5864424)

Man, Sanchez can't buy a hit.

He might have tweaked something running through the bag.

Yeesh.

[edit] Slo-mo shows he turned his right ankle when it hit the bag.

54. Bote Man Posted: July 23, 2019 at 11:57 PM (#5864425)

Stephen Strasburg continued his hitting streak with his 4th consecutive hit, this one a single in the 2nd inning. The boy is ON FAHR!

#NoDH

55. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 23, 2019 at 11:59 PM (#5864426)

Well, this game certainly isn't boring.

10-11 Twinkies

56. Bote Man Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:02 AM (#5864427)

Castellanos is gonna be complaining about the base paths being 90 feet at Comerica Park as he was just tagged out by an inch, if that. Game remains tied 2-2 in the 14th inning.

57. Fred Lynn Nolan Ryan Sweeney Agonistes Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:02 AM (#5864428)

Coming into the season, it looked like the Giants would have a crappy team that wouldn't compete for a playoff spot. Then three months into the season, it looked like the Giants were a crappy team out of the playoff race. Are... the Giants good now?

No.
What?
No.

58. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:04 AM (#5864429)

457 ft on that Sano bomb.

59. Los Angeles El Hombre of Anaheim

Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:06 AM (#5864430)

Mike Trout goes boom. The Angels winning 2-1 over the Dodgers. They get two against the Dodgers, then seven against Baltimore and Detroit. They really need this next stretch to be great.

60. The Yankee Clapper Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:14 AM (#5864431)

Hicks 2-run HR restores the Yankees lead, 11-10, but you might need the last bats to win this game.

61. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:14 AM (#5864432)

HICKS GOES BOOM!

12-11!!!

62. the Hugh Jorgan returns Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:14 AM (#5864433)

OMG, as Red Sox fan, I just give up. Hand the AL crown to NY right now, they are the blessed team this year....

63. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:23 AM (#5864434)

Oh, joy, it's bad Chappy

64. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:26 AM (#5864435)

Chapman making things interesting.

65. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:29 AM (#5864436)

Chapman's got no ####### clue tonight.

Meanwhile the Twins PA is pumping the OONTZ at maximum decibels ...

66. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:34 AM (#5864437)

I guess they're gonna go down with Chapman.

67. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:34 AM (#5864438)

This is just a ####### joke.

68. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:35 AM (#5864439)

He's the closer, don't ya know?

The heat death of the Sun will occur before Boone-y would pull him.

69. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:36 AM (#5864440)

12-12

70. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:37 AM (#5864441)

Elsewhere, the Giants are poised to to win it in extras.

71. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:38 AM (#5864442)

Well, if Chapman can get this to extras, you have to almost consider it a win given how things started.

72. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:41 AM (#5864443)

Chappy escapes without further damage.

Free baseball!

73. Cris E Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:42 AM (#5864444)

See, THAT'S why he's the closer. Not everyone knows how to stop throwing terrible sliders and reach for the 98mph cheese.

74. Howie Menckel Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:43 AM (#5864445)

Twins led 8-2 thru 4 innings
Twins 9-5 thru 5
Yankees 10-9 after top of the 8th
Twins 11-10 after bottom of the 8th
Yankees 12-11 after top of the 9th
12-12 after bottom of the 9th
Yankees 14-12 after top of 10th

I mentioned 4 or 5 years ago here that Chapman is one of many hard-throwing closers who - if a batter takes every pitch - most often will get to 4 balls before 3 strikes. and given how difficult they are to hit, why swing?

yet the Twins swung at several balls against an obviously pitiful Chapman (he walked the bases loaded with 0 out). I know chicks dig the longball - but I think they also dig their team winning the game.

75. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:45 AM (#5864446)

Cubs intentionally walk Brandon Belt with a runner on third and Cishek promptly hits Posey to load the bases.

76. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:49 AM (#5864447)

EVERYBODY GLEYBER NOW!!!

77. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:49 AM (#5864448)

Yanks sure do lead a charmed existence.

78. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:52 AM (#5864449)

You were saying?

WP!!!

14-12!

79. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 12:54 AM (#5864450)

C'mon Big 0, time to put this one to bed.

80. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 01:01 AM (#5864451)

A ####### walk.

Un-#######-real.

81. the Hugh Jorgan returns Posted: July 24, 2019 at 01:02 AM (#5864452)

35 hits, 26 runs so far....MLB in 2019! Woohoo.....

82. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 01:05 AM (#5864453)

What's better than 1 walk?

TWO WALKS, AH-HAH-HAH!

Punches self in face.

83. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 01:07 AM (#5864455)

Damn, pretty play by Sir Didi and Gleyber.

C'mon, one more and we can all hit the showers and pound some Budweisers.

84. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: July 24, 2019 at 01:10 AM (#5864456)

Nothing to see here, folks...

85. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 01:11 AM (#5864457)

THREE!

THREE WALKS!!

A-HAH-HAH!!!

Drinks paint thinner, lights self on fire, punches self in face, throws self down stairs ...

86. Howie Menckel Posted: July 24, 2019 at 01:12 AM (#5864459)

self-immolation nears?

87. Cris E Posted: July 24, 2019 at 01:14 AM (#5864460)

Hicks does more in one game here than three years in a Twins uniform. Terrible/awesome game.

88. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 01:15 AM (#5864461)

I'll just pretend that was an easy pop-up that Aaron Hicks just caught.

89. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: July 24, 2019 at 01:15 AM (#5864462)

Well thank god they pulled it out, otherwise they would've *only* been 28 games over .500.

90. The Yankee Clapper Posted: July 24, 2019 at 01:16 AM (#5864463)

Hicks great game-saving catch with bases loaded preserves Yankees 14-12 victory. Never a doubt, myself.

91. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 01:16 AM (#5864464)

HOLY ####.

UN-#######-REAL.

WHAT A GAME!

92. Howie Menckel Posted: July 24, 2019 at 01:21 AM (#5864465)

Chad Green with the weird SV.

I have always seen his visage as that of a future serial killer.

is it possible that.... the dead-eye stare makes us wonder

93. the Centaur Nipple Paradox (CoB). Posted: July 24, 2019 at 01:24 AM (#5864466)

I have always seen his visage as that of a future serial killer.

is it possible that.... the dead-eye stare makes us wonder

I've always thought he reminded me of Munch's "The Scream", so ... maybe.

94. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: July 24, 2019 at 01:31 AM (#5864468)

Sigh. Pablo Sandoval of all people.

95. the Hugh Jorgan returns Posted: July 24, 2019 at 01:43 AM (#5864470)

Hicks great game-saving catch with bases loaded

Well it really wasn't a great catch. It was a good catch. Any good CF could have made that catch. There was nothing special about it...

96. Los Angeles El Hombre of Anaheim

Posted: July 24, 2019 at 02:03 AM (#5864471)

Jeez. 2 run game, tying runs on 2nd and 3rd, and the ump's suddenly stopped calling strikes. Robles has thrown two strikes to Muncy and not gotten calls.

97. Los Angeles El Hombre of Anaheim

Posted: July 24, 2019 at 02:17 AM (#5864472)

Kole Calhoun guns down the tying run at home to win the game! Angels now a season-high 4 games over .500!

98. JAHV Posted: July 24, 2019 at 02:24 AM (#5864474)

Can’t he just lay his one hand on the other hand?

Nice try, but the left hand can't know what the right hand is doing.

99. TomH Posted: July 24, 2019 at 07:33 AM (#5864483)

TRIVIA; no guesses at all at the guy who allowed 162 ER in one season, while posting a 19-17 record?
Further hints:
The year was 1921.
The man in question was a World Series hero of sorts just a couple of years before.
