RIPPA Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Well Piazza's career high was 40 (twice) and he was frequently in the high 30s. (Bench's 45 come in 1970 so in today's baseball that is like 492) Perez's year is an outlier (for him) as his previous high was 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 This discussion made me google what Pudge Rodriguez's high was and Javy Lopez. Pudge was only 35. Javy hit 43 in 03, and there was always a joke about Javy, contract years, and possibly substances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I would have guessed Javy's best was roughly 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair - it is very much more the media making a big deal about it than the actual teams Of course I did enjoy the Rays being all WE ARE UPSTANDING CITIZENS!!! WE DIDN'T LOOK AT IT!!! but also refusing to give the card back 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 The Keirmayer thing was funny and I say that as a Jays fan. "I'm not giving it back" I respect the honesty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 And of course down by six in the eighth, the Jays throw at Kiermaier leading to a pretty dull bench clearly. Yawn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I wonder if there's actually anything on any one team's little card that is somehow better or different than what everyone already knows about every hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 You can literally find websites that keep analytics so detailed actual pro teams are using them, and there's video of everyone doing everything. I can't imagine what you could possibly learn from a card, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Reds have extended manager David Bell for 2 more years (through 2023) Orioles have announced that Brandon Hyde will return for next year. This year was the last year of his deal but the organization quietly extended him for another year last offseason. Meanwhile the Padres are getting rid of almost everyone in the front office.

RIPPA Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I think that what is more amazing is that a team playing since 1901 has only made the postseason 10 times prior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
