    The article said "players" and not specifically position players, so I feel it's a big oversight not to mention Bert Blyleven. He already had considerable experience by 1973 and his age-22 season was at a similar high level as his previous ones, earning an All-Star berth and some Cy Young Award support.

    Say, you may not be aware of this, since it's not widely known, but....

    I think it's Roy Smalley on the telecast? He explained carefully that the main job of a left-handed reliever is to get lefties out. Kind of a hot take but he does have the in-game experience.

    Let's win on those other days too.

    This Irvin guy seems like a pitcher without overpowering stuff. Here's hoping our batters have a good time at his expense.

    Rocker? If you mean Rooker he was viewed as a corner bat, if not DH, which is how it played out. Martin was not drafted by the Twins. Legitimate 5-tool OF prospects are highly prized by every team and they are snapped up in the early picks.

    I wasn't questioning your quote, but ChatGPT, which is never, never wrong, nevertheless confirms the identity. Oh, and, while I was at it... How many times has Tommy Lasorda died, in the time since he passed away in 2021? ChatGPT Tommy Lasorda passed away on January 7, 2021, and since then, there have been no reports or credible sources indicating that he has died again. Once someone has passed away, they cannot die again. It's important to verify information from credible sources to avoid spreading misinformation. / Edit - PS, Ted, my apologies for littering the first page of the comments area of your fine article. 😀

    ChatGPT 3.5, which is never, never wrong*, attributes it to Earl Weaver. He knew a little about baseball. But you're right that he weren't no poet, and he know'ed-it. *I love messing with ChatGPT. I asked it next if Earl was still alive, and it told me, "As of my last update in January 2022, Earl Weaver passed away on January 19, 2013, at the age of 82." Last update? Do we need to keep checking? I'll ask it next about Generalissimo Francisco Franco. Here is another ChatGPT dialog that I chose to save for posterity a few weeks ago: Which member of the US Senate has a birthday this year? ChatGPT Without real-time access to current data, I can't provide the birthdays of members of the US Senate for this year. However, many senators have birthdays each year, so it's likely that several senators have birthdays in the current year. You might find the information by checking the biographies or profiles of current senators online or through official Senate resources. But I digress.

    Yash indeed. Bash and Cash, the both of 'em.

    Willi Nilli. C'mon Chief, it was right there.
  11. ashbury
    Fortunately Buxton did.

    Wait, were you at the game tonight? So were my two boys!

    Do you ever ask our pitchers for a not well pitched game? If so, please stop it! 😀 Satisfying win all around.

    My psychologist diagnosed me with Narcissistic Personality Disorder but the state medical board overruled him on the grounds I wasn't good enough looking for that.

    99 times out of 100 I'd go with that. But he'll be 35 next spring, can still comb his hair using either hand without assistance, and has money in the bank. I can't imagine what would convince him to even pick up the phone, can you? Four (4!) years of leading the league in Losses* while accruing 5+ ERAs could do that to even the most competitive athlete. *I realize 2024 isn't complete yet but I have faith in him.
  16. ashbury
    He may not have yet either. But $155M in lifetime earnings might put some perspective on the effort required to come back next spring.
  17. ashbury
    That they would win 10-0, duh. 😀
  18. ashbury
    ... he'll be retired. 😀

    Oh, you starry-eyed optimist, you.
  20. ashbury
    Margot for the final out!

    "Fear the Sausage"™ fest, eh?

    With this score I keep expecting to see a parade of Pollyannas streaming through to tell us "they knew it all along."

    I wasn't looking, after the first two pitches and a quick glance back when Ruiz got called on a marginal non-check swing. You might have been right and he was sharp once he worked out his landing spot or whatever was bad at first.
  24. ashbury
    Man, Jax's first two pitches had me wondering if he would make it through the inning. Then 3 straight Ks. "Effectively wild," I guess.
  25. ashbury
    Yes.™
