But,but run prevention. How that can be the Stearns directive how these guys are positioned where they are makes zero sense. They are worse than last year

Jays still laying waste to the league

Big bad bill

In his second chance in as many at bats Tony Perez forced a tie game this time with a HR to make it 3 all heading to the 9th. There, Stan Musial tripled home Terry Moore with his 3rd hit of the day in the 46 Cardinals 4-3 win over the 75 Reds. Max Lanier went the final 2 with no hits for the win.

Semifinals in Group B of the Strat Decades tourney will be in Cincinnati. 75 Reds host the 46 Cardinals.
Battle of southpaws here, Don Gullett 15-4, 2.42 ERA goes against St.Louis and

@alexcthw.bsky.social cant help but harp on the lack of urgency from ownership after the 9-0 loss. Devils were scuffling and something was off. They were 3 points out of the race. Since that time Jan 6, 5 teams on the outside of the bubble are now in. Devils should have been one of those

Will ownership step up and admit they dropped the ball for waiting so long to react after 9-0? Things would be so much different

I hope the couch shaved its legs

Took about an hour before tiexiera came to me

Teixiera,trout,Frank Thomas, thome

This guy is hurt and has surgery every year

Great human being

Chuck Schumer is a gutless cuck.

That has to be a mistake. One, Romo met the criteria for a save. Secondly, the boxscore has him down for a hold, a statistic which didn’t exist in 1974

Should have happened after 9-0. Season could have been salvaged

That was outstanding

After allowing a Bill Freehan single in the second, Howie Camnitz turned it on retiring 22 of the next 23 in a 4-0 shutout of the 68 Tigers.
09 Pirates busted out for three in the 3rd with a solo HR from Bobby Byrne & a two run double from Dots Miller to move on in the Strat Decades tourney

All decades are still represented in second round play of the Strat Decades tourney.

Pirates hand the ball to Howie Camnitz 25-6, 1.62 ERA
Detroit goes with southpaw
Mickey Lolich 17-9, 3.19 ERA

Monte Pearson was a one man wrecking crew. He shutout the 09 Tigers on 4 hits fanning 9 while delivering 3 RBI’s on a pair of singles.
Battery mate Bill Dickey went 5 for 5 with a HR scoring 4 times in the 36 Yankees 9-0 elimination of Detroit in the Strat decades tournament

Group C will have the 36 Yankees host the 1909 Detroit Tigers.
Monte Pearson 19-7, 3.71 ERA goes for NY
Tigers turn to Ed Willett
21-10, 2.34 ERA

That’s crazy

Whos decision was it to become a defense at all costs team? That started the spiral. Once the 9-0 blowout happened GM and coach should have been gone when there was time to salvage the season.

Always loved Van Slyke against RHP. Great speed, defense, arm

Father of this guy

Feller was definitely up and down in 1948. That 3 run hr was a fluke. Bressler hit two all year. Rolled 3-2 and out it went. Stunner

33 Giants rallied from 3 down to make it a 1 run game heading into the 7th. That’s when the 61 Yankees bats detonated. Mickey Mantle & Roger Maris hit back to back HR’s with Bill Skowron & Yogi Berra following with blasts of their own in a 7-3 victory.
Yankees move on in the Strat decades tourney

Final game in the first round of the Strat Decades tourney will take place at Yankee Stadium as the 1933 Giants take the one mile trip from the Polo Grounds to take on the 1961 Yanks.

Rube Bressler surprised Bob Feller with a 2 out 3 run HR in the second & the 1919 Reds didnt look back in a 9-2 beating of the 48 Indians.
Heinie Groh also HR’d driving in 3 supporting Slim Sallee who scattered 11 hits for the complete game victory in the Strat Decades tourney
