  1. You also don't want Alvarez and Tucker back to back to make things easy on lefty relievers (yeah I know how they're hitting lefties right now but still). Are you playing DubΓ³n in LF there? DHing Yordan? I think best bet there is rotating DH between Yordan, Altuve, and PeΓ±a to keep them healthy.
  2. Followup question - who is the active career leader in triples and where does he rank +/- 40 spots?
  3. Just gotta remember that the Nationals are the Expos franchise and it gets a lot easier for us older guys.
  4. It's Joey Votto in 103rd place. Only one current player in the all time top 100 and it's not like doubles are as rare as sac bunts and stolen bases these days. Pretty crazy to me.
  5. Immaculate Grid 106 9/9: Rarity: 59 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩
  6. He's 3rd on the active list so excellent guess
  7. Eduardo PΓ©rez working hard to explain why Maldy plays.
  8. Tris Speaker is the all time leader in doubles with 792. Miguel Cabrera leads active players with 617 and ranks 14th on the all time list. Who is second among active players and where does he rank on the all time list +/- 20 spots?

  10. Immaculate Grid 104 9/9: Rarity: 207 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩
  11. A significant percentage of beef and pork will be grown in labs within 50 years.
  12. Yeah in that example I didn't even say anything, just chuckled. It helped that the pitcher gave a disbelieving laugh, the umpire kind of looked straight down at the ground when he realized his call had been so bad that even the guy who benefited from it was laughing.
  13. Yeah it's absolutely ridiculous. On my son's high school JV summer team an opposing parent almost got kicked out for riding the ump. A few things about that. One, their team sucks and was getting blown out anyway. Two, the ump was actually good and had called more walks on our pitchers than theirs at that point. Three, when the ump turned around and told him that was enough his accent made it hilarious when he said "I've had just about enough of your lip." Finally, you'll all be shocked to learn that the dumbass's son was pitching when he went too far. On the other hand sometimes it's hard not to say something. My son got rung up on a high fastball a little while back and I have a video of it crossing the plate even with his mouth. Not an exaggeration.
  14. That one is Kiner, missed the question. The latest question I have no clue. Logically trying to think of someone who was injured during the first half of the season to hit both requirements but can't come up with anyone. Seems like Kirk Gibson was always gimpy so I'll guess him.
  15. Majors state tournaments over the next few days. Texas East: Bellaire vs. Groves National, Washington County vs. Needville Texas West: Northside Suburban (SA) vs. Corpus Christi National, Midland Northern vs. Westside (FW)

  17. Just to clarify, Murcer did hit 33 bombs with no sac bunts and 4 sac flies for the Yankees in the very slightly strike shortened 1972 season. But he didn't hit .300 so doesn't count. But yeah I knew it was a joke, but it's the trivia thread.
  18. Bobby Murcer. Definitely didn't cheat. For sure. Oops, still messed up. No Yankee has ever hit .300 with 30 HRs in a strike shortened season. Murcer hit .292 in '72.
  19. Immaculate Grid 102 8/9: Rarity: 180 ⬜️🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩
  20. Smart move. Guaranteeing future OR revenue by spreading brain worms.
  21. You are a master of results versus process. It is known.
  22. Yeah that's interesting and also very inconsistent.
  23. Immaculate Grid 101 8/9: Rarity: 325 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 ⬜️🟩🟩
