Still thinking about this: I hope that the pitching matchup was Bob Gibson/Catfish Hunter.

You may be sorry you asked that question.... I tend to talk about it too much and make people''s eyes glaze over. Can never tell if I am doing that online. So I'll let a1975-era image and a PDF link do the talking for me.
It's how I produce #1947League results.

Josh Gibson (4 RBI) launched his league-leading 27th HR; Dan Bankhead (8-5) held the Yankees to four hits and struck out 7. The Browns regained a first-place tie with New York.

In Game 6, Newark kept the series alive, even though KC knocked starter Leon Day out of the box in the first inning. Usually, when that happens, the pitcher heads to the showers. Not this time, though. What did Leon do for the remainder of his team's 9-7 win?

St. Louis broke through early with a 3-run 2nd inning that chased knuckleballer Barney Brown. Rufus Lewis K'd 7 and picked up his 8th win; Kimbro homered. Pirates on the skids.

Let’s compare two similar opportunities, A’s load the bases in extra innings: in the 10th with Brent Rooker at bat and in the 12th with Esteury Ruiz at bat.
1/2
@YusufToropov @tabletopmania @YakyuNightOwl @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @ted_duffield @stlcolorbaseball @malinkey @cardboardkarl @scottdaniel @OhhJim @sullybaseball @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @M_U @Eilistraee
Start with their astro-numerological slash lines.
Brent Rooker (Born 11/01/1994— Scorpio, Year of the Dog, governed by the number 1).
Esteury Ruiz (Born: 2/15/1999—Aquarius, Year of the Tiger, governed by the number 6)
2/n

It seems that Rooker’s Dog stubbornness got him to swing at an 0-2, resulting in an out to short.
OTOH, the Tiger energy brought by Ruiz was what was needed to convert his bases loaded opportunity into a run.
3/n
@YusufToropov @tabletopmania @YakyuNightOwl @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @ted_duffield @stlcolorbaseball @malinkey @cardboardkarl @scottdaniel @OhhJim @sullybaseball @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @M_U @Eilistraee
The A’s batting order has Ruiz as the leadoff man and Rooker backs him up in the 2 spot.
Rooker should lead off, where he can focus his 1-energy into being the first on base. Then follow with Ruiz, whose supportive 6-energy can help advance Rooker to score.
4/4

Sears is 2.5 games up and 4 ERA down from Kaprelian. Maybe Sears was a gameday decision?
Unless it was a Counsellesque strategy of some sort.

If it’s Karpielian, my guess is that the fantasy pitching staff is a little light on water signs, so Karpelian (Pisces) nicely shores that up.

Looking closer, Karpielian might be 0-8/8.12 on the season but 0-4/5.92 in his last seven games, so it looks like he is getting it together.

No, I couldn't get it to work. It was a bit of a moment realizing how much that freaked me out; I was trying to be calm about it. Hope they figure it out soon.

Mine started working again late last night. I was able to post a game.

Going on what the Hibernians insist on calling a "Holiday" but on what all red-blooded Americans know to be a #$%^& VACATION for the next ten or twelve or fourteen days, I forget which. May be out of touch. Next few toots will share a few things I meant to mention to the ASSEMBLED SAGES.

FIVE IN A ROW FOR THE #OAKLAND #ATHLETICS!
And you know what?
We might even give the Royals a run for their money in the battle to avoid worst record in MLB. So I am pumped about that.

@swampudlian had a rough day yesterday so let's pass him a beer whenever it's after five pm in his jurisdiction... We love you man.. One foot in front of the other...

Can't go without sharing Album That Won't Leave Me Alone. I am figuring it won't leave you all alone, either.
If this isn't at least a tie for the best live rocknroll recording ever, I dunno what is... Dissenting voices welcome but I mean COME ON.

With some angst I look at the wild card standings to keep tabs on the green and gold threat. Relief to find that the Jays have not [yet?] been passed. Further solace in looking at the NL to see that the D-backs are four up on a team from Los Angeles whose name escapes me.

That was mostly a fun Twins/Jays series. They tried to give us the sweep but we let ya have one.

Seven wins in a row on #ReverseBoycott day for my beloved #Oakland #Athletics. 25000+ in the stands!
Is the team still moving? Probably.
Am I choosing to ignore that? Yes.
Is this an opportunity to share the #etymology of the verb "to #boycott"? Yes. Yes it is.

Sending over a tallboy can of German beer to Swampy.
Interesting piece of trivia: in Germany the tallboy can is not “der Tallboy”, they csll it “der Normal-size”.

I don’t know if the A’s are hot right now, but in Canada they’re converting the scores to Celsius.

Almost at many K’s as Nuke Laloosh in his opener… but without the walks.
Complete game or did a reliever come in and then everyone slaps you on the ass as you walk off the mound?
Asking for a friend. : )

No I went the distance. 110 pitches. The last time I K’d 16 I was 29. I’m now 39.

geez, Nolan, gotta tell us about a complete game!
For you youngsters out there, a “complete game” is when one player pitches and no one else does. Unless there is a rain delay, this requires the same pitcher to actually play in every inning and record a total 27 outs.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pennant races and so on.
If you ask me, that kind of news is a bit vulgar.
What's really happening in #baseball is: Esteury #Ruiz is sneaking up on the #AL Rookie record for most stolen bases in a season: 66.

This is why I also support teams in other leagues. ; )
D-backs are still atop the NL West; Hiroshima Toyo Carp (NPB) in 3rd, 4½ back; LG Twins (KBO) in 2nd, 1½ back; Mainz Athletics (Bundesliga Süd) are playing 750 but still 2½ back of 917 Heidenheim (verdammt Heidekopfe!)

From our mid-season Tournament. Also had a double.
Gnats take the 17th annual invite 7-2 over @LogatorBaseball . Lots of Gnats with big games. @PFunkMasterFlex had 3 hits &3RBI’s. Taylor Carlson had 2 hits today and caught all 21 innings!
