What a fun collection of stats. Thanks!

 

I love the way you can search on baseball-reference, I could spend far too much time looking through random stats and situations.  

[DiscGolfer]

WOOT!!!!  WOOT!!!!  That's what I wanted to see here!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sano ties it.

 

Nicely done...

[JB_Iowa]

SANO, SANO, SANO!!!

 

All tied up!

[mikeee]

[Jerr]

As I asked for!!!!!

[twinsnorth49]

Say hello to Mr. Sano New York!!!!!

 

 

Oh..................baby!!!!

[DiscGolfer]

Love those lazy flies from Sano

[Danchat]

SANOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[SwainZag]

Damnit!  I was too busy looking up stats and missed Sano's HR.  Was it a bomb like usual?  What part of the field?

[Jerr]

Yankees panicking??????

[JB_Iowa]

Never underestimate the value of the other team's errors!  

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Plouffe applyin' the pressure with the base runnin'.

 

Nicely done.

[Riverbrian]

[Jerr]

Sano could be my new Killebrew and he was my hero growing up!

This is FUNNNNN!!!!!!!

When you got the trophy(s?), what put ya over the top? Or would that be revealing a trade secret? (Ya shouldn't have to... you can say "I did X" without explaining how...)

 

 I went for high degree of difficulty. Only 3 people in the world have ever attempted it. 

 

I sincerely came up with a plan to play Joe Mauer at 3B 

[Riverbrian]

 

I wonder what they wondering about? I often wonder about New York, who doesn't though.

 

You can't wander around NYC without wondering what that smell is. 

 

So Naturally wandering just becomes wondering around New York. 

[stringer bell]

We need a run or more this inning!

The Twins need you to post that more often.

[Riverbrian]

 

I wonder if curlers get dead arms (or in whatever way wear out) late in the curling season?

 

I'd try curling if it wasn't for all that sweeping. 

 

If my wife caught me curling... She hand me a broom when I got home and tell me to sweep something. 

[Jerr]

Just a side point....I have never had sooo many hummingbirds at my feeder, as I have this year.

Some how they are very relaxing to watch as they feed.

It went clean past the field. 

 

 

 

 

 

Into the left field bleachers

[Jerr]

YEAH ya DON'T run on Rosario!!!!!!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Thou shalt not advance on Rosario.

 

Even if you're a Yankee like Ellsbury...

What keeps ya from using a mop?

[DiscGolfer]

Rosario...   HUGE!  I can see how the ump thought it wasn't a catch, looked like the ball bounced but it was in the glove.  Wow, what a play.

[Riverbrian]

I've got great wildlife out my patio window. Looking directly into woods and it turns out that the creatures don't always stay in the woods. 

[big dog]

Well, that's a pretty good 90 seconds for Rosario.  Guns the guy down (eventually), then makes what looks like an outstanding sliding catch.

 

and the umpires say...OUT!  good call
