    MLB gameday still has no videos posted

    I think Colorado now has the record for most doubles in a teams first 3 games with 15. Previously the following 4 teams had 14 doubles in their first 3 games: 2003 NYY 1998 CLE 1954 CHC 1948 PHA

    3-1 pitch and they get the run in with the pitcher on deck.

    First lead since last August I believe.

    Joe Block just repeated the idiotic saying that the most exciting play in baseball is the triple. Clearly, the most exciting play in baseball is any play at the plate.

    Between the Brewers and Rockies, which pitcher appeared in the most all-star games? For batters there is a 4 way tie with 5 all star appearances for Todd Helton, Ryan Braun, Paul Molitor and which other player?
  7. topper09er
    Not a trivia question, but I have always loved that in both 1996 and 1997 Vinny Castilla put up 40 HR, 113 RBI and a .304 AVE

    Rockies Astros Mariners Nationals Padres Is that it? It's all I can think of. Close, but San Diego won 1 game in 1984 vs the Tigers, even though the Tigers scored 3 in the first inning and chased the SD starter after only recording 2 outs. The other 4 are correct, Rockies and Astros 0-4, Nats and Mariners are 0-0

    The Rockies aren't great for trivia, but here we go. Can you name the teams that have never won a world series game?

    Only radio tonight for me, but the baseball-reference play index is free for another week. Uek said the first was the Menards big inning, where you win if the Brewers score 7 runs or more. in 2014 they did this exactly 0 times. In 2013 it happened once in this game
  11. topper09er
    Best 1 game career: John Pasoriek 5 PA 3 H 2 BB 4 R 3 RBI Worst 1 game career: Ron Wright 3 PA 1 K 1 GIDP, 1 GITP...3 ABs 6 outs.

    I disagree, in theory there is no reason but in reality there is. The Twins and Mets tried to tell Gomez to think first and then react, well it took him too long to think and he struggled. The Brewers told him to react first and think later, and he could stop focusing on analyzing every situation and just go with his instincts...and now he is an elite player. You are basically saying you would tell him: CarGo, whenever there is a situation that you might make an aggressive mistake, stop to think if you will likely make the mistake, but in situation where you will not make an aggressive mistake, then don't think about those situations.

    Daniel Nava hit a salami on the first pitch he ever saw as well in 2010 Bill Wambsganss turned the only postseason unassisted triple play, in the 1920 world series. The Twins turned 2 triple plays in the same 9 inning game in 1990. Harvey Haddux threw 12 straight perfect innings in a game at County stadium but lost in the 13th. Tom Seaver struck out 10 straight hitters. Ron Hassey caught 2 perfect games Robby Thompson was caught stealing 4 times in one game. Despite Jean Segura's best efforts, Germany Shaefer is the only player to steal the same base twice in the same time on-base.

    They should wear some baggy all wool 1901 Milwaukee Brewer retros once, that would be so awesome http://exhibits.baseballhalloffame.org/dressed_to_the_nines/images/al_1901_milwaukee.gif The hat is especially amazing, M+B = ball and glove??? How about 2 blue lines? http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/al/mbrew/MilBrew01Cap.gif

    About half as much as they can make selling two different sets of merchandise with two different logos and color schemes? It's not like there is less ball and glove merchandise just because they don't wear that uni all the time, that logo and color scheme is everywhere, as is the new one. This is why there are two uniforms, and why there will be for a long time. Not really true. Half of the people who own the current jersey non retro will end up purchasing the retro jersey. The new fans it will attract along with winning will increase sales. More people want to purchase the retro than the current, because it's a BETTER jersey. With the Retro jersey people must also have the ball and glove logo cap. I'm going to disagree with you. Obviously you will sell more retros if it becomes the only option, but you will sell fewer overall jerseys which is what they care about. This is a basic concept in marketing/sales > shelf space. Why do you think Miller makes 700 types of beers that all taste the same? Why do they literally sell the exact same product but in a different package, regular miller lite and the retro cans? Because they have more shelf space, more things to sell means more sales. The Brewers are competing against Packer and Badger (and Bucks?) jerseys and if they have 2 sets of everything in each store that means more dads are getting a Carlos Gomez jersey they don't want for Christmas instead of a Jordy Nelson jersey they don't want.

    I heard KRod once threw a punch at his own wife in the couples boxing tournament

    I would check with Pete Rose

    I will have to disagree and say that it would be an arbitrary terrible rule that would unnecessarily complicate and prolong the game and make no impact on anything. What is the penalty, a do-over? Lefties most certainly do not face a disadvantage, they are closer to first base and have the platoon advantage 70% of the time. Plus the great sluggers can overcome the shift anyways, last time I checked Ortiz was still putting up big numbers with 2 second basement and 2 right fielders every AB. As other have pointed out the arbitrary-ness of an infield shift rule is asinine. Why can outfielders shift? Why can pitchers try to pitch on the corners? Why can you pitchout? Why can you hold runners, why can you bring in an extra IF with the winnings run on third...basically, why would this be the only defensive strategy that is somehow outlawed? The only resolution to this I can see would be to implement mandatory man-to-man defense. The ball is put on a tee, and the 9 fielders have to stand next to the 9 hitters, whether near the plate, on base or in the dugout. Then we can would get lots more of those exciting obstruction and interference calls as a bonus!

    Great idea, lets copy the NBA and introduce the illegal defense? What is the penalty going to be? Maybe the hitting team will get to hit the ball off a tee instead of the next pitch. That would be so great because it would cause more dingers, and dingers make money and the only goal for any professional sports league should be to increase the money that can be made in the only industry with a legal monopoly. Looks like MLB is really trying to compete with the NBA, NFL and NCAA for the title of biggest wh*re league. They have all already correctly realigned their priorities to: 1. Sucking every possible cent out of every single thing that happens even though we have a legal monopoly 2. Average mindless "fan" who thinks Sportscenter is interesting or is very concerned with Lebron's twitter account or really wants to know who Aaron Rodgers is dating (we may be able to extract an extra cent from these idiots) ... 999999999999999999998. Life long die hard fan who follows their team when they are below .500 (they will give us their money no matter what we do) 999999999999999999999. Integrity of the sport/things we should not change even if we could make some more money by changing it.

    Alright, after that Packer choke the Brewers choke feels 1% better, so its back to baseball. I have no idea who we might get from the Rangers, so I guess Ill hope for Juan Gonzalez.
  21. topper09er
    Smart move to IBB Segura here, he is hitting .232 but Nelson is way down at .231
  22. topper09er
    Seasons with 5 players with 75+ RBI 2010, 1996, 1982 Season with 6 players with 75+ RBI 1987
  23. topper09er
    Team record is 9 doubles which we have done 5 times in a game
  24. topper09er
    Dioner Navarro listed at 205 lbs? Maybe using some odd Canadian weight system
