Playoff Game: 1 RP walked 6 batters in a row. 28 total pitches. That's 4 strikes thrown across 6 batters. 0 outs recorded before or after the walks.

Re: Re: TWIB: Show me something interes

oh wow, that’s insane. The playoff pressure got to him. It reminds me of a guy used to play in the Cardinals, Rick Ankiel. He was a good young pitcher until one time he got a case of the yips and he never could recover and ended up switching to the outfield full-time

5 Homeruns by Barry Bonds!! he went 6/6 with 6 runs and 10 rbi, meanwhile his teammate Ward stole 5 bases on route to the team scoring 16 run even though 2 of the opposing teams pitchers were "on fire"!! this is the kind of box score i geek out on, lol

TWIB: Show me something interesting

here's something interesting. my #1 starter scherzer is ranked 100. i picked up a free agent sp to fill in for my #5 starter and that person is eddie smith ranked #10. so far smith is 5-0 and the team has won all 8 of his starts.
go figure?!?

September 2, 1975: Johnnie LeMaster’s first MLB at-bat was an inside-the-park home run. He hit it off HOF pitcher Don Sutton. Players hitting an inside-the-park home run in their first at-bat had happened only twice before in the major leagues, by Luke Stuart (St. Louis Browns, August 8, 1921) and Walter Mueller (Pirates, May 7,

7/21 FJS Random Chatter 0 0
In a 1980’s league, game 7 of the championship, there was a pitchers duel for the ages. Dwight Gooden pitched 10.1 scoreless innings. Mike Scott pitched 11 hitless and scoreless innings. Rollie Fingers picked up the win in the bottom of the 12th when Willie Randolph hit a game winning triple off of Dennis Eckersley. Final score: 1-0.

Re: Re: TWIB: Show me something interes

This is a TWIF note as it is happening in a football league. We just finished week 18 of sims. During those 18 weeks 36 punt return TD's and 19 kick return TD's. 55 total return TD's. The NFL averages between 1.5 and 3 punt return TD's/year and between 5 and 10 kick return TD's/season league wide.

Re: TWIB: Show me something interes

I looked up Hank Aaron’s Baseball Reference page and saw something I’d never realized: Aaron, who wore No. 44, led the NL in home runs four times. In three of those four years — 1957, 1963 and 1966 — he finished with 44 home runs. (He also finished with 44 in 1969, but Willie McCovey led the league that year with 45.)

Re: Re: TWIB: Show me something interes

His Topps rookie card had a reverse negative picture and the 44 was backward. Nowdays they do things like that on purpose to create more money which is why I don't buy new cards anymore . I saw last week a new release that has 3 cards in the box for 800 $ !!!
