Bored 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2006 It would have seemed nuts coming into the season but I think the A's will need to entertain the idea of trading for a shortstop for the stretch run. Bobby "Harold Reynolds pick me for MVP" Crosby is just completely lost at the plate. He was hitting .232/.293/.343 coming into tonight and in the 8th innning with a runner in scoring position he had 3-1 count and made an absolutely embarrassing swing at a pitch in the dirt in which he nealy landed on his ass flailing at the pitch. The next pitch he took for strike three. He's 3 for his last 34 and hasn't homered since May 31st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the max 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2006 On my fantasy baseball thing it says that I got points for David Ortiz stealing a base...Under what circumstances did this occur? It was pretty funny, actually. He ran on a 3-2 count to Nixon, who struck out. Ortiz thought he fouled it off and almost stopped between first and second. He started running again and barely made it to the base when Buck's throw was about five feet over Graffanino's head. Thus, Ortiz was able to slide under the tag. He stood up with his big smile and the Red Sox dugout was laughing at him, giving him the "two-arms down = slide" hand gestures and whatnot. The Sox announcers had a lot of fun with it as well. Remy said that Ortiz could probably steal 40 a year if he didn't stop between the bases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was pretty disapointed that I had only found out yesterday, but it did allow me to see the Dodger game with the LA feed, giving me the awesomeness of Vin Scully.

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2006 Hypothetical question. Who would be the likely suitors for Alex Rodriguez, if the Yankees decided to move him in the off-season? The only team that can take that contract is Boston, LA (Both) and NYM. Also, I seriously doubt that they'll even come close to shipping him because one bad season and hostile crowd shouldn't erase the fact that A-Rod is a fantastic player.

This statistic brought to you by the department of redundancy department. Who where those two pitchers in 1969? I'm not finding anything on Baseballreference.com. I found a game where 22 year old George Stone faced 22 year old Bob Moose. Three problems though. Moose was a righty, Moose had nine wins and won his 10th that game, and Stone pitched in relief. Stone is the only 22 year old lefty in 1969 who won 10 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It won't happen, but why not the Phillies? They have Bobby Abreu who's close in salary (remember the Yankees aren't paying A-Rod's entire contract), and a big hole at third base.

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2006 Surprised this didn't get mentioned before. The Northern League All-Star game featured Buck O'Neil batting first for both sides (he was traded mid-inning), and taking two walks. At 94, he's the oldest player ever to play in a professional game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I seriously doubt it will happen, but makes for some interesting sports talk. Doug Melvin reportedly laughed at that when he was told. He said the rumor was started by someone within an organization interested in Abreu. Braves are up 10-0 in the 5th, making it the fifth straight game they've had 10 or more runs. And the Jays' pen totally crapped away this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
