The Red Sox scored in every inning of their June 4 game against Texas -- except for the inning that Rangers outfielder David Murphy pitched. ...
In the third inning of his May 10 start against the Padres, Alex Cobb faced four hitters, struck out all four and still gave up a run (thanks to: WP, SB, SB, balk). Last known instance of an inning like that? Never. ...
Both defending Cy Youngs (R.A. Dickey and David Price) somehow lost 13-0 games on the same day (April 7). No kidding. ...
A's outfielder Michael Taylor, um, chewed up his chances of making the team this spring when he missed 11 days after gashing a finger on his throwing hand -- trying to throw away a piece of gum. (He smashed it on the dugout ceiling light.)
Best wishes to everyone for 2014!
January 2: 44 Days Until P&C!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Allan!
ReplyDeleteI remember that June 4th game well, Murphy allowed a lead-off double to Nava then set down Carp, Ciriaco, and Ortiz to give Boston its only scoreless frame of the night.
So will you be posting any predictions for the HoF vote? My guess would be that Maddux, Glavine, and Biggio are chosen and Morris will fall short in his last ballot.
My ten votes would be for the following players: Bonds, Clemens, Maddux, Schilling, Mussina, Bagwell, Glavine, Thomas, Edgar Martinez, and Piazza.
My HOF prediction is Maddux and Thomas. I'd like to see others list their pics too. I would have voted Maddux, Glavine, Schilling, and Thomas.
