I seem to recall my neighbors using "Dive Brunansky, dive!" as some sort of catch phrase but I don't know what that was all about or if it's even related.

So how many 2Bs have hit 40+ HR in a single season? If I'm play indexing right it looks like there are three, not sure if that includes Dozier already or not(no subscription). Figured two of them out.

Hornsby in '22 (holy crap)
Sandberg in '90 (what kind of name is Ryne)

Ryne as a boys' name is of Gaelic derivation, and the meaning of Ryne is "king". Ryne is an alternate form of Ryan (Gaelic): also possibly (Gaelic) "water".

Hazelbaker homers, the Cubs try to go out to the mound to talk to Hendricks and Joe West tells them to get back to their positions. Maddon goes out to be like "What the hell man, let them talk" and gets into an argument and bam gone.

(It was all mainly to give Chapman time to warm up.)

There were over 1000 Dodgers fans in the left field corner at Yankee stadium tonight, and apparently they did a roll call in the bottom of the first, so that's kinda cool. The only video I can find of it now though is a weak clip with YES commentators talking over it.

Cano just hit his 33rd. There's an outside chance he touches 40 this season.

And Davey Johnson in 1973. Johnson's year is especially insane considering his previous high was 18, that being the only time he ever slugged more than 15 in a season.

Yeah. The Rangers this year remind me a lot of the 2012 Orioles. A team with a ridiculous record in one-run games playing way over their pythag.

The O's lost in the ALDS, for what its worth

EDIT: The Orioles bullpen was also much better than that of the Rangers now, so you can argue their one-run game record is more reasonable. fivethirtyeight actually has a pretty decent article on the comparison between the two that I found after making this post http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-texas-rangers-are-making-unsustainable-history-in-one-run-games/

EDIT #2: Also in case you're curious like I was, the team with the worst single-season record in one-run games was the 1935 Boston Braves, featuring Babe Ruth who went 7-31 in one-run games.
