Kinda awesome that Erik Bedard took the loss in a one hitter twice in a calendar year.

I *think* I got the best 50 at bat stretch from Tulo's September 2010. Side note - does Chris Shelton still lay in bed at night wondering what the Hell happened? Edit - Nevermind. Forgot BAbip subtracts out HRs. Tony Phillips fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Jun 6, 2014 |

Storm posted:Still, batting .388 with a .212 BABIP is kind of nuts Yeah - My edit was originally questioning if that was right, but had forgotten how BAbip was calculated. 12 HRs in 19 hits will throw that off pretty bad.

JackssWastedLife posted:I'd like to think that even if he knew what happened afterwards, Johan might have wanted to throw that no hitter. Goodnight Sweet Prince I seem to remember JeffersonLives posting a fairly informative post about how the pitch count during the (*cough* Beltran *cough*) no hitter pretty clearly had nothing to do with his injury. On that note - anyone know where he's been? Don't remember seeing him post in months.

Don't remember seeing this mentioned at the time, but my periodic morbid curiosity kicked in, and I checked the list of oldest living MLB players. Art Kenney died March 12th, leaving Hall of Famer Bobby Doerr as the sole living player that played in the 1930's. He's the depression era Highlander. Congrats to Mr. Doerr.

The Hell did that pitcher get tossed for? Throwing inside with a 10 run lead two pitches earlier? Edit - well, second pitch was in pretty far as well. Tony Phillips fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Jun 9, 2014 |

IcePhoenix posted:I watched the Cespedes throw again and started thinking of other awesome throws and then I remembered this one and actually found it The hidden beauty of that is that it took place in Ichiro's 8th game. Everyone knew that he was supposed to have a crazy arm - it was just the first time people got to see it. Edit - Still what I think of as the most ridiculous throw though. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/7417714/v13114361/guillen-throws-out-perez-on-the-fly

Quick little math. Gwynn averaged a strike out every 23.576 plate appearances. Mark Reynolds would have to avoid striking out in his next 27,626 plate appearances to match that.

ALFbrot posted:it's cool because I have no idea who these posters are now I used to root for a team you laugh at. Now I'm in first in the AL West. The thread delivers. ALFbrot posted:A team I laugh at, huh? Which Pirate fan are you "You" as in SAS. I'm a Mariner fan, and still am. (Jesus Montero is back, baby!) But poo poo. Tony Phillips was kinda cool, and if you gotta be a member of a team that plays in a sewer, it might as well be the A's. A+ would recommend the thread again. Edit : wikipedia posted:Phillips currently plays third base for the Yuma Scorpions of the independent North American League along with former Athletics teammate Jose Canseco. In August 2011, 52-year-old Phillips was involved in an altercation with former Scorpions manager Mike Marshall, then with the Chico Outlaws. Phillips punched Marshall in the face during the incident, causing the latter to press battery charges against the infielder. Suck on that, innings eating relief pitcher.

We interrupt this 1986 Topps fest to remind you all that noted svelte Mariner catcher/DH/1st Baseman/Whatthefuck Jesus Montero hit a home run today and that Jack Z is a genius.

Does any site keep track of how high a home run goes? Cause Stanton on Monday hit a damned line drive that has to be the lowest. http://m.mlb.com/video/v33771229/chcmia-stanton-lines-a-tworun-home-run-to-right/?query=Giancarlo%2BStanton

Grandma was awesome. http://www.webcitation.org/5yvmTYCkx He got his name because his grandmother liked unique and unusual things and, with a last name of Million, she wanted her grandson to stand out. She talked his parents into naming him Ten for that reason. When the daughter of Ten and Christine was born, the grandmother bribed Christine with $50 into naming her Decillian Million for the same reason. Later on, Decillian began to use the name Dixie but in her early years she was known as Decillian Million, daughter of Ten Million.

Laughing at the ump in the M's Royals game. Billy Butler K's in the 6th - swinging at an outside pitch. Seattle broadcast picks up the ump yelling at him. Something along the lines of "You swing at a pitch a foot outside and you wanna blame me!? Is that what it is? You wanna blame me?"
