2016 MLB Regular-Season Thread

Only played 10 full seasons and his defensive war kills him. Even if you go by his offensive WAR, he would be not make the top 15.

 

A TBT.

 

I see what they did there.

 

Did Altuve hit with homers in the same inning?

 

I forgot McGwire and Edmonds fell off the ballot after this last vote so adjusted accordingly:

Today’s Game (1988-2016)
1. Lou Whitaker
2. Rafael Palmeiro
3. Alan Trammell
4. Kevin Brown
5. Kenny Lofton
6. David Cone
7. Mark McGwire
8. Jim Edmonds
9. Bret Saberhagen
10. Chuck Finley
Next 5: John Olerud, Orel Hershiser, Will Clark, Robin Ventura, Kevin Appier

 

What's the worst MLB debut ever? The fourth batter St. Louis' Mike Mayers faced, Adrian Gonzalez, hit a grand slam. The next guy got a double.

He finally got an out on the sixth batter, so he won't end his debut with an ERA of infinity.

 

And he allows six runs. Took him 45 pitches on a 100-degree day.

He might be done, which would put the ERA at 54.00.

 

Matheny should send him back out for the second.

 

Did I miss it or has no one alluded to Sale as a real cut-up? Apologies if someone has.

 

*snicker*

 

Good Lord. It's now 9-1 with one out in the second. Mayers finally gets the hook after 61 pitches and four outs.

ERA is 60.75.
