Phillips has 3 RBIs in the game now. -
We have Bonds Cepeda Mays, McCovey and Ott. The last player is part of a better question, he is one of 2 players to the league in HRs in back to back seasons for 2 different teams (meaning he led his league in HRs at least 4 times). Can you name them?
-
Nice try but no
-
He owns this list now with 17 HRs in 33 games. #2 is Walt Bond in 1962, 6 HRs in 12 games.
-
Correct
-
Bonds, Mays, McCovey The reason I asked is because Bonds is actually not an answer so this was a sneaky question. Mays and McCovey are correct. The other 2 are in the HOF

I was looking at this old game, now in the news these days. The 1916 Giant's tie that separates their 12 and 14 game winning streaks, giving them a 26* game winning streak I guess. It was the second game of a doubleheader, called in the 8th, must have been for darkness. Only 18 players played in the entire game, I wonder the last time that actually happened? Giants only run came from a Benny "the Ty Cobb of the Federal League" Kauff HR, and the Pirates only run came from Honus Wagner in his second last season. The Pirates pitcher was WI native Burleigh Grimes, the last player to throw a spit ball. The other HOFer in the game, Max Carey, had 3 hits. The Giants featured slugger DAve Robertson hitting 3rd, who would lead the NL in HRs this season and the next, with a total of 12 each year. Since Robertson in 1917 there have only been 4 other Giants (NY or SF) to lead the league in HRs in back to back season, can you name them?
-
There was nothing wrong with him trying to steal 3rd there, especially with 1 out and Glasnow totally ignoring him. If he just runs he takes 3rd standing up. The problem was him trying to take it like a hesitant timid 6th grader playing little league ball. If you can ever make the next base standing up then you should always go. In general, if you are going to steal 3rd on a close play don't go with a lefty batting. When he hesitated he should have gone back. He should have know a hesitation + lefty batter = do not go. Where is all of that veteran grit when we need it
-
Dont steal 3rd with a lefty hitting. Idiots! If you are going to do that then let Villar play
-
Now we will panic and everyone will try to hit dingers and instead have crappy ABs.
-
True, but what happens if Wilkerson gets shelled? You throw him out there against the Cubs in a game that counts double? If we are lucky enough to use Davies lightly on Friday, we should consider pulling him early and starting him on 3 days rest against the Pirates next Tuesday with Wilkerson going on Weds against Pit. That way all of our pitchers against the Cubs, including Davies, can go on regular rest
-
With the off day tomorrow, everyone can get back to 4 days rest and it looks like Wilkerson will start on Tuesday @ PIT. With the other off day the following Monday we could go the rest of the season not needing Wilkerson if we bump up Davies to pitch on 3 days rest against the Cubs on 9/24. If Wilkerson does well he might start against the Cubs.
-
Do you have a source? I haven't seen anything like that yet.
-
The Brewers already announced no more call-ups from AAA, so Jungmann is not an option.
-
If you keep going, you could consider a mop-up/bullpen day next Tues. @ PIT Then @ PIT Wed: Davies 4 days rest vs CHC Thur: Woodruff 4 days rest vs CHC Fri: Suter 4 days rest vs CHC Sat: Anderson 4 days rest vs CHC Sun: Davies 3 days rest M off vs CIN Tues: Woodruff 4 days rest vs CIN Weds: Suter 4 days rest vs CIN Thurs: Anderson 4 days rest @ STL Fri: Davies 4 days rest @ STL Sat: Woodruff 4 days rest @ STL Sun: Suter 4 days rest playoff game 1: Anderson

I don't see any way Guerra doesn't give up a HR to Bell here.
-
This is good, I assume Guerra pitching now means he will not start on Weds.
-
Basically, this team tries to hit a HR on every single AB. That leads to streakiness. Tough to keep up, MLB pitching is too good and you rarely get 8 straight games facing a pitcher who doesn't have their good stuff. The strikeouts totals are staggering, I wonder what the MLB tipping point will be after which teams finally start to care about them a little bit.
-
C'mon Arcia, stiff wrist!
-
Ok, going to Hughes so CC is forfeiting. Probably the right move since we have only had good ABs about 10% of the time tonight. Silver lining, if we lose the first 2 it might force CC's hand to not use Garza since he will view game 3 as must win, just like last week in Cincy. If we started this series 2-0 they would go with Garza which would then lead to Garza starting 3 other games
-
This is the best SP we will have this series
-
Braun with the first good AB of the game in the 4th!
-
Too bad we never count these "check to see if I want to challenge" delays in the total time. What is CC looking at there. If Aguilar thought he held the base he would not have swiped for the tag.
-
First time through the order Woodruff turns in the best AB. Great
-
6 ABs: 4 crap pop-ups, 1 K on an obvious ball and 1 routine flyball
