Was looking at random stats. The A's leader in wins is still Shintaro Fujinami, who was dealt six weeks ago to Baltimore. Fujinami had 5 wins in Oakland. 20 different pitchers wins, 9 have 1 win. Somehow, only JP Sears has more than 8 losses All of it strikes me as a bit wild.

It's not like Atlanta didn't give everybody a chance this year with its pitching.

A hip hop song - but not too hip hop as this is 1993 MLB - generically about baseball. The chorus featured the line: baseball, catch the fever now/baseball, let me show you how. This was about a year after MLB was using EMF's Unbelievable, though I can't remember if that had fresh lyrics or not.

Schilling's already hated for everything else, but I hope this cuts him off from society. I hope no one Atlanta had no idea how to hit Wakefield in 1992. They brought Phil Niekro in during the playoffs, so they could have BP off another knuckler. Niekro was in his 50s. The Braves couldn't hit him either. My other outstanding memory of that era with Wakefield is him getting mad at Tim McCarver for calling him Bill.

Atlanta tied the MLB mark with 307 homers in a year. They likely would have broken it had the rest of the NL East not collapsed upon itself. Usual lineup homer, RBI totals Ronald Acuna Jr: 41, 106 Ozzie Albies: 33, 109 Austin Riley: 37, 97 Matt Olson: 54, 139 Marcell Ozuna: 40, 100 (homered twice and drove in four today) Sean Murphy: 21, 68 Eddie Rosario: 21, 74 Orlando Arcia: 17, 65 Michael Harris II: 18, 57 Acuna and Mookie Betts tied with 8.4 WAR.
