317— George Brett
240— Salvador Perez
197— Mike Sweeney
193— Amos Otis
190— Alex Gordon
169— Hal McRae

Quote of the Day
“[Eppler’s] answer was that the team is now kind of shifting vision and that they’re looking to compete now for 2025 and 2026, and that 2024, that it was not going to be a reload situation in New York, and that it was going to be more of a transition in 2024.”
Max Scherzer

Wednesday’s quiz
San Diego will be Rich Hill’s 13th team in the major leagues; he broke into the majors in 2005, with what team?

Tuesday’s quiz
Steve Spurrier coached the Tampa Bay Bandits in the 1980’s USFL.

Monday’s quiz
Red Sox ended their long World Series drought in 2004; Terry Francona was their manager that year.

***********************************************************

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings……..

Astros 2, Guardians 0
Framber Valdez threw a no-hitter for Houston, throwing 93 pitches.
Big day for the Astros, getting Justin Verlander back, and then the no-hitter.

— Verlander makes $43M a year; if he throws 140+ innings next year, his $35M option for 2025 automatically kicks in.

— August 1, 1978, Pete Rose had his 44-game hitting streak stopped by the Phillies; ironically, he signed with Philadelphia as a free agent that next winter.

That August night was a fun one for me; I was visiting my cousin in Brooklyn for the weekend, and we went out that night to Catch a Rising Star, a club that was famous for starting the careers of many popular singers/comedians. They had pictures up on the walls of all the famous people who had performed there.

I was 18 at the time; this was a whole new world to me. The MC was Richard Belzer, who later became well-known as an actor on the Law and Order shows; he was a comedian at the time. He was busting chops with couple guys in the audience, and I’m sitting there terrified that he will start busting my chops. I didn’t realize the two guys were friends of his, part of the act.

Later on, a young lady comes out to sing; she was really good. It was Pat Benatar, who went on to have a great career as a singer, but she was just breaking into the business back then— she was 25 at the time.

Anyway, was reminded of that today. Always good to remember the fun times.

Tuesday was baseball’s trade deadline. Some thoughts:
— Mets traded Verlander to Houston, Tommy Pham to Arizona.

Mets started this year with a payroll of $356,879,103; in the last week, they’ve shed a lot of payroll obligations:

Verlander $43,333,333
Max Scherzer $43,333,333
Mark Canha $11,500,000
David Robertson $10,000,000
Pham $6,000,000

All that adds up to $114,167,000 that has come off the Mets’ books, pro-rated, of course.

— Mets’ GM Billy Eppler said this:
“We won’t have the same [World Series] odds in 2024, but we’ll put together a competitive team.”

Wonder what his boss thinks of that statement.

— As of 7pm Tuesday night, White Sox had traded away pitchers who accounted for 41.2% of their innings pitched so far this season.

— San Diego Padres are having a rough year; they’re 0-10 in extra inning games, 6-18 in one-run games. Xander Bogaerts is 0-11 this year with the bases loaded.

Their loss Monday night in Denver was horrific; down by a run in the 8th inning, Padres had guys on 1st/2nd with one out. Bogaerts gets a clutch hit to centerfield, but the third base coach sends Juan Soto home, and the CF throws him out at the plate, by 20-30 feet. Not good.

Maybe the worst decision I’ve ever seen by a third base coach; they wound up losing in extra innings, another agonizing loss in a rough season.

— Despite that, Padres traded for P Rich Hill, 1B Ji-Man Choi Tuesday, so they’re still trying.

Padres 8, Rockies 5— Juan Soto hit two homers for San Diego Tuesday night.

— Cardinals traded P Jack Flaherty to Baltimore; this is interesting because Flaherty has allowed a .346 batting average on balls in play — worst in the majors among pitchers with 80+ innings pitched. His ERA is 3.45 in his last 12 starts, which is an improvement; we’ll see.

— Detroit’s Eduardo Rodriguez has a 10-team no-trade list; the Dodgers are on it. Detroit tried to trade him to the Dodgers anyway, but Rodriguez vetoed the deal, and LA acquired Ryan Yarbrough from the Royals instead.

Who doesn’t want to play for the Dodgers? Apparently Rodriguez doesn’t want to play on the west coast; too far away from his family, but jeez, you’re rich, bring the family out with you.

Phillies 3, Marlins 1— Sandy Alcantara threw 8 shutout IP, but then Miami’s bullpen screwed the game up in the 9th inning. Marlins made several moves; will be interesting to see what they look like when the dust clears this weekend.

— Movie of the Day: Any Given Sunday (1999)— A pro football team with a veteran coach and an aging QB try to hang on and make the playoffs. When the QB gets hurt, then his backup also gets hurt, the 3rd-string QB comes in and things get very interesting.

Al Pacino is the coach; Dennis Quaid/Jamie Foxx are the QB’s, Cameron Diaz is the team’s owner, James Woods is the team doctor, Charlton Heston is the commissioner of the league.

Excellent movie; Lawrence Taylor is good in his role, basically playing himself. I could write about this movie for a week, but I’ll add this— the four coaches the Miami Sharks go against in this movie are all real-life Hall of Famers:

Dick Butkus, Bob St Clair, YA Tittle, Johnny Unitas.

— College Football Trend of the Day: Favorites won/covered the last four Las Vegas Bowls.

— Phillies acquired P Michael Lorenzen from Detroit; unclear if the Phillies will go to a 6-man rotation, or use Lorenzen in relief, or use Cristopher Sanchez in relief, but someone once said that you can never have enough pitching.

— A’s actually traded two more players, not that it matters; they dealt P Sam Moll to the Reds, 3B Jace Peterson to Arizona.

— Speaking of the Reds; they have a legit chance to make the playoffs, but they desperately need pitching, and they didn’t add any starters— Moll is a mediocre lefty reliever.

Cubs 20, Reds 9— Cincinnati left starter Lively in until he gave up 13 runs; 15 of the 27 batters he faced reached base. Reds have an abundance of position players; they should’ve made some kind of move to improve their pitching.

— We’ll close today with this, my annual reminder that the Baltimore Ravens try to win their preseason games; they’ve won their last 23 exhibition games SU, are 26-5 ATS in their last 31 summer games.
