While I can understand wanting to get Miranda out before he gets plunked, commenting about it will probably only get him plunked early today. Also, I cannot find any record of a hitter having back-to-back 5 hit games. He could have been the first.
There may be some shady people in the Hall, but Rose is probably the worst. Tax evasion, large gambling debts to bookies, he even allegedly ran a child sex ring in Florida every spring. He took a 14 year old girl on road trips with him when he was 32. When he was asked about it he said he thought she was 16. Owing large amounts of money to bookies makes me think he probably threw games as well. It is all mentioned in the Dowd report.
He is a 17 year-old rhp. He pitched in the DSL last year with solid numbers. He pitched three innings today in the FCL. Completed them on 17 pitches, with four strikeouts. So, if you figure 12 pitches minimum for the 4 k’s, he got the other five outs on 5 pitches. Pretty efficient to say the least. One to watch, certainly.
Met him at Yankee stadium in 1972. I called out his name and he looked surprised that someone knew his name. That was the debut game for Dave Goltz, Twins were beaten 6-0. Ray Corbin started for the Twins, and I believe he was leading the league in ERA at the time. Got many autographs that day.
