Tony Gwynn

[Natas]

In 323 AB vs. Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, Pedro Martinez and Greg Maddux, Tony Gwynn struck out a total of three times. Two vs. Glavine

[Spooky Apparition]

https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big- ... 43389.html this has a lot of crazy Gwynn facts (maybe that's where you got that stat?). I especially liked these:

- In 2,440 career games, Gwynn had only 34 multi-strikeout games. So, the odds were better that Gwynn would get four hits than striking out twice.

- In two-strike counts, Gwynn hit .302. That's a statistic that's only been measured since 1988, and since then, Gwynn's mark is easily the best. Wade Boggs, next on the list, hit .260 in two-strike counts.

kind of weird:
- Only once in his career did Gwynn have a three-stikeout game. Eerily, it came against Bob Welch on April 14, 1986. Welch died last week at age 57.

I heard he was in the issue... but That's the fucking COVER????

no one wants to see nekkid dudes ESPN....

[Zap Rowsdower]

If the Yankees were smart they'd put everyone but Gardner and Betances on waivers.

[Spooky Apparition]

checked out the I-Cubs this weekend... middle of the lineup stacked with Baez, Bryant and Soler. the rest of MLB will soon weep

[elephants gerald]

looking forward to ten straight years of met/cub NLCSs

...

who am I kidding

[Spooky Apparition]

^ my response to both your comment and the next few years of being a Cubs fan

[Honky Kong 64]

Vin Scully is coming back for another season. Good thing I have Time Warner Cable or I would've missed some quality broadcasting this year.

[Natas]

Are they fucking a lot of other cable service users still with Dodgers games? That's what I hear.

[Natas]

Cespedes for Lester is seemly done.

[elephants gerald]

lester AND gomes

fuld for milone was the follow-up trade, so I think gomes and fuld will probably be splitting time out there

crazy rotation in oakland right now. lester, samardzija, gray, kazmir, and hammel? or chavez?

[elephants gerald]

one of the funniest things to ever happen in professional sports reporting

Jim Bowden Caught Stealing From Fake Twitter Account, Deletes Everything

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

Jim Bowden, former MLB executive, has fashioned himself a second career as a baseball pundit for ESPN and SiriusXM radio. Today, baseball's biggest day for movement, trade deadline day, Bowden appears to have gotten caught stealing a scoop without attribution. We know because he unwittingly stole it from a fake account.

At 1:48, someone impersonating the New York Post's Joel Sherman tweeted that the Yankees have acquired Marlon Byrd from the Phillies. It is a fake account—the "L" is actually an "I."



Two minutes later Bowden tweeted Byrd-to-Yankees. He did not credit who he thought was Sherman. (This was, no question, Bowden's Twitter account. It had 92,000 followers and is the one linked and endorsed on his ESPN.com page.)



It spread quickly. Except the real Joel Sherman shot everything down.



Jim Bowden panicked.

He first deleted his twitter photo so @JimBowdenESPNxm had an egg avatar and looked fake.
He then transferred his account to @JimBowdiv, perhaps thinking no one would find him? (His Marlon Byrd tweet is was still there.)
His original, @JimBowdenESPNxm account was nuked, but it is now back—with 25 followers at press time. Someone is cybersquatting the account, is using Bowden's old avatar, and is following fake Joel Sherman and no one else.
And just now, since I've been typing, @JimBowdiv has disappeared. We don't know where Jim Bowden went, and he's probably not going to receive the DMs we sent him. (Update: @JimBowdiv is back. For now. Here's a screengrab of his page, because he's a slippery Bowdiv. There's an updating thread in the comments below.)

We are convinced that Jim Bowden freaked out and physically flung his computer out the window. I don't care where David Price goes. This is the best part of trade deadline day.

Final update: Ralph.

[Zap Rowsdower]

David Price was an awesome pick up. Too bad the bullpen fucking the pooch in the 8th and 9th will be what stops the Tigers in the postseason.
