Dolfan in NYC Posted May 16, 2023 Author Share Posted May 16, 2023 Oh, Buster Olney pointed out, that the '62 Mets finished with a 40-120 record and a run differential of -331. This is widely considered the worst team ever fielded. As of Sunday, the 2023 A's are on pace to win 35 games with a run differential of -588.

Oakland, while playing in a stadium roughly twice the size of the Grand Canyon, has a team ERA of 7.21. That's half a run worse than the worst ever (6.71, 1930 Phillies). Unbelievable.

Sure thing, Aaron. Boone got ejected during that half inning, so I’ll grant him it’s plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) Made the mistake of putting Blair & Barker on in the background earlier, and they spent so much time talking about this nothingburger. And now we’re getting pre-game quotes of Schneider doubling down. His guy was tipping pitches, he should just own it and move on good grief.

RIPPA Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 This Jays/Yanks series has A LOT going on First the Jays dugout had a hissy fit over where the Yanks 3b coach was standing but that was just the appetizer because Yanks starter Domingo German got tossed after a foreign substance check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he almost got fired mid-season because.... *checks notes* had to tell the fucking owner to stop heckling the home base umpire. And got fired after that season anyway, while winning the NL MotY.

RIPPA Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 We have officially hit DFAing bad contract time (thought it really started with Aaron Hicks) The Royals have shown Hunter Dozier the door.

RIPPA Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 The Guardians Will Brennan killed a bird with a ground ball last night Quote The rookie Cleveland Guardians outfielder hit a hard grounder that accidentally killed a bird wandering on the infield grass during the second inning of Monday night's 3-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox. With none out and a runner at first base, Brennan, a left-handed hitter, went the other way with a 92.6 mph fastball from Chicago's Jesse Scholtens. The liner connected with a small bird that had wandered into a dangerous place. The ball, clocked at 100.1 mph, sent the bird flying, and when Brennan got to first, he put his hands on his helmet and grimaced. Umpires called time, allowing a member of the grounds crew to remove the dead bird with a shovel. And last week the D-backs Zac Gallen killed a bird during warmups Quote Last week, Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen unintentionally struck and killed a bird while warming up in the outfield before a game against the Oakland Athletics. Gallen threw a curveball that hit the bird in midflight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Christopher Morel will look to tie Tim Anderson's record of having 12 consecutive games with at least one hit and at least one run. He is presently the only good thing about this Cubs team. I'm enjoying it while it lasts before he starts K'ing at a historic rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remainder of a $7.25M 2023 salary, $9M for 2024, and the $1M buyout for a $10M club option for 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
