Reminds me of that phenomenal Big Red Machine stretch in the 70s.

Not sure if it was '75, but they won 108 games that year. [:-]



Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (8/15/2013 4:11:59 PM)

Or the Tigs starting out 35-5 in'84

Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (8/15/2013 4:14:28 PM)

40-10 Reds of 75

Still some of that grey matter up there disremebering things like that.



Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (8/15/2013 4:16:50 PM)

1977

George Foster hits 52 dingers/149 RBI, SLG of .631 "Only" struck out 107 times, walked 61 times.

Serious numbers in that era.

3 year stretch 121/149/120 RBI's



SoMnFan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (8/15/2013 4:17:45 PM)

Woulda been benched for free swinging here.



Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (8/15/2013 4:19:22 PM)

Fonzie 4 more hits, only drove in 1 as NYY loses
Phil Hughes needs a scenery change.

Would be a decent add to the MN rotation.



Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (8/15/2013 4:20:12 PM)

Russell Martin was sure a key loss for NYY, and a HUGE pickup for the Pirates this year.



SoMnFan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (8/15/2013 4:20:25 PM)

Hughes is lost there
You are correct
Will be eaten alive soon
Needs OUT of NY



Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (8/15/2013 4:21:49 PM)

Oakland can sure pull guys out of the woodwork to contribute.

Some Dookie 6'8" first baseman has 4 RBI's for them today.

Span bailed on the Gatorade shower last night
What a wuss
You're not going to have too many opps, dude.



SoMnFan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (8/15/2013 4:36:56 PM)

Bob Ryan nails it on replay .... No challenges.
Someone overlooks play in a booth. Changes obvious screw-ups.
Yep, that'd be my choice too.
NHL does that with off-ice officials in Toronto.
It works most times.
Biggest reason is to avoid OBVIOUS blown calls.



Jim Frenette -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (8/15/2013 4:42:32 PM)

In late June when everyone was praising the Pirates, I said they did the same the previous 2 years and faded fast after all star break and I would expect the same. Boy was I wrong, they are still playing good baseball and in 1st place. We might see them as buyers yet before this month is over



SoMnFan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (8/15/2013 4:44:46 PM)

I like people who admit when they're wrong
Atta boy Fargo. [:D]

That's why it's hard to get very excited about his hot start.

And then on one hit 50 home runs in a seaon again until 1991.  A Few years later everyone was amazed when it seemed everyone was doing it. (except the Twins)



Stacey King -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (8/16/2013 8:15:56 AM)

"60 Minutes" has learned that members of New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez's inner circle in February obtained and leaked documents that implicated Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun as well as his own Yankees teammate, catcher Francisco Cervelli, in the doping scandal that has enveloped Major League Baseball.

In a statement to "60 Minutes," Rodriguez lawyer David Cornwell said, "The allegations are untrue and are another attempt to harm Alex -- this time by driving a wedge between Alex and other players in the game. While Alex focuses on baseball and repeatedly states that he is going to respect the appeal process, the drumbeat of false allegations continues."

Red Sox are 0-14 on Aug 15 since '98
As good as they've been, that's just plain weird.

They're obviously still bummed about President Nixon completing the break from the gold standard by ending converability of the US dollar into gol by foreign investors on this date in 1971.
