Holtzman was on 4 World Series Championship teams.  A's in 72, 73, & 74.  And Yankees in 77.

He threw a lot of innings with the A's.  I think 297 of them in one season.  It would take the average starting pitcher 2 fill years to throw that many nowadays.

Yeah, complete games still meant something then.

Hate the Cardinals, but for my money he was the best manager I ever saw...

RIP Whitey

Yankees were glad to get rid of him, damaged goods.....

Yeah, the Reds decided to take a chance.  He’s 2-2 so far, but hasn’t been as strong as they’d hoped.  I’m not sold on him, but perfectly willing to give him more time.  He threw 66 pitches into the third inning and 32 were balls.  He had no command of his pitches whatsoever.

Not a good start for the Reds starter Frankie Montas after facing 4 batters

Walk

Walk

Homer

Walk

29 pitches and no outs down 3-0

Seattle has one if the worst offenses In the league and has 5 batters under .200 in the lineup 

Just now walked lead off in 3rd followed with another home run.  He’s walked five in 2 innings.  Take him out. He’s thrown over 65 pitches.  

Former Cub dead at 78.  Cause of death - heart issues.  Passed away Sunday.

One of my childhood heroes ...Along with Harry Gonso and Jade Butcher....His brother, Phil, played for RMK in the late 70s

 

IUFLA…did you see that Jade just passed away on Wednesday.

Just saw on BTB that Jade died Wednesday.  Another of the greats from the ‘67 Rose Bowl team.  Terrific receiver with great hands who was All Big 10 in ‘68 and ‘69, All American in ‘69.  Damn.  RIP Jade.

What is wrong with Spieth?  He seems lost to me.  He’s struggled for a few years now and seems unable to find an answer to his inconsistent play.  His swing drives me nuts.  Too much success too early?

My gut says it's the year for Rickie. 

That would be a nice story.  But I don’t think it’s going to happen.  At 4 over, he’s going to have to shoot a really good score today to make the cut.  I hope he does, but I doubt he has it in him.

Oats ain’t going anywhere. He’s just done the equivalent of taking IU football to a NY6 bowl. People love it, but has spring football started yet? High bankroll and low pressure. He’d be insane to make that jump. 

Drew was one of my prime picks, and he at least listened. 
 

Sampson is still the one that scares me. He’s a solid coach that plays a really fun style, smooth talker in front of parents, boosters and the media, and knows how to operate in the grey area of the rules. Giving him a high profile platform like UK….😬

I think some UK fans believe Sampson, at 68, is too old.   🤷‍♂️

Holy crap!  That kid has some amazing handle for his age.  Don’t like seeing what appears to be some type of protective gear on his leg already.  Maybe growth related?  I have no clue…or kids.

I’d pay to be in the room when a player asked him, “what about LEO?

“If you mean Durocher, he’s dead and the other one…yeah, it’s dead too.”  I could hear CCC saying something akin to that.

TKR and Jones will continue to be key players for Purdue. They are guys that will have opportunities tonight and it will come down to how they perform. UConn really doesn’t have a good matchup for TKR so I could see him doing some work against Karaban and it seems that Jones has been the guy left alone to shoot and he will get looks tonight. Those are my keys…of course outside whatever happens with the two bigs.

I don’t agree with your opinion about TKR and Karaban.

Was in the path of totality. I had my glasses on, took them off when the last sliver of sun vanished and gasped. It was literally breathtaking. Didn't take pictures, but the ones I've seen don't capture that feeling at all. It was surreal. Lived up to the hype. 

Agree 100%

I used to live in the town where those nutjobs built the ark replica. Kind of a neat idea, but I refused to even drive past it because the group that built and runs it actively promotes as fact the idea that dinosaurs and humans co-existed. 
 

I actually had quotes for a billboard across the road from it that would have said “The Flintstones is not a documentary.” 🙄

Obviously, you have no recollection of Alley Oop.  😂😂

Didn't help that they took Green out after 6 great innings. The reliever then walks 3 straight batters and gives up 1 run without giving up a hit

Well, you know the Reds.  Greene was at 99 pitches.  They are watching all the young starters because of the injury histories, I guess.  I’m not disagreeing with you, but that’s just the way they play the game.  And I’m aware that you believe it’s stupid, but it ain’t gonna change.  They’ve invested big money, for the Reds, in Greene and don’t want to take any chances.

Reds defense looks pretty bad right now.  Elly De La Cruz has made 4 errors, mostly on throws, in 7 games.  That’s beyond bad.  He’s going to have mgmt thinking about switching him to the outfield if he keeps this up.  Or he may find himself back in the minors.
