Which pretty much matches up with this tweet: https://twitter.com/RoyHalladay/status/925328575372423168 Ugh. And yeah - the video isn't remotely graphic. Just creepy - the actual crash isn't shown. There's a second video taken from the boat as it races towards and arrives at the wreckage though. Still not graphic, but equally disturbing.

So Beltran retiring leaves Beltre and Colon as the only active players that played in the 90s. And that's if Colon signs somewhere. Yay for feeling old!

Comptroll The Forums posted:So I was wondering the other day if there were any games where a fielder played all nine innings without ever touching the ball (obviously ruling out the pitcher and catcher by default). I didn't really know how to look this up so I went straight to Anibal Sanchez's 17 strikeout game since fewer balls in play means better odds. As it turns out, in that game shortstop Jhonny Peralta never touched the ball on any play. He could have laid down on the field and taken a nap and nothing would have changed. Didn't see it mentioned before this topic got jello tuna pie'd, but... Doesn't come close to the no offense side of things since he went 6-8 on the day with two HRs, but on 6/26/76 Toby Harrah played all 18 innings of a double header at SS without fielding a ball.

Going through some folders on my PC today and I came across this. I have no recollection of making this, but I assume it was for some long past SAS thread. Wish I could go back in time and warm myself that it's still not gotten better - 6+ years later.

Timby posted:Schilling is either the best or second-best playoff pitcher ever, whereas Edgar was ... Well, Edgar, and Ortiz has him eclipsed in most respects. I said it was irrational. Schilling would likely cruise in within 2-3 years on the ballot if he wasn't a world class gently caress face. What does Ortiz have to do with it even if he hit like Bonds? Also : bawfuls posted:The Official Correct Compromise Opinion(tm) on Schilling is he should be inducted after he dies, so as to deny him the personal smug satisfaction and platform he'd get, but still ultimately recognize his baseballin' achievements. Ortiz mashed dingers. That's where he's better. IcePhoenix posted:I assume this is partially because Edgar was a decent 3B at the start of his career and git moved to DH because the Mariners brought up a defensive specialist there or something. He destroyed his knee in 1993. Tony Phillips fucked around with this message at 05:15 on Dec 27, 2017 |

bawfuls posted:Dingers aren't really "most respects" but yes he did hit more I assure you I'm agreeing with you. I was quoting you in a "What Bawfuls said" kind of way. Ortiz had more power. That's about the only thing he did better as far as I can tell. His counting stats are higher, but Martinez didn't get regular playing time until he was 27. LOL Mariners even back then, I guess. (Though his pre age 27 numbers weren't that great, so who knows.) Regardless. David Ortiz has jack poo poo to do with Edgar's HOF case. He's perhaps borderline at best due to the counting stats, but for God's sake pretty much his every rate stat is amazing. Also, he made a light bat.

And of course there's no way in the world I could name a third Giamatti, but guess I'd never thought about Paul and Bart at the same time. Why in the world would anyone. And whoa. As I realized that despite knowing that I'd seen him in lots of things - I couldn't name a single Paul Giamatti role off the top of my head - I go to check his wiki page. In his filmography section, there's a movie listed as in production. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Catcher_Was_a_Spy_(film) Very very cool. I've read the book it's based on, and sight unseen - everyone should see this when it comes out. Read up on Moe Berg, then go find a copy of the book. It's a really great read.

I don't think he's ever been a free agent and unless he decides to keep playing after 2020, he will never be a free agent in his entire career.

What's baffling to me is that neither of them seem like old veterans to me. What the Hell happened? David Wright is 3rd and Felix is 4th on the list for God's sake. In my head Felix is still like 22 years old. Getting old is weird.

IcePhoenix posted:However, I also kind of hope at least one team/player is petty enough about it that they IBB someone by forcing the umpire to assign four automatic balls via the clock running out. And I hope they do it with Joe West behind the plate so they can have a petty off. There's no way he doesn't toss the pitcher the second he realizes what's happening.
