In fairness, I'm not sure all the defenders on the field at the time he was pitching remember Donnie Hart.


Let's see if *we* remember. One point per post, no back-to-back posting.

Well, I don't have to be a Donnie Hart expert to guess that Pete Alonso was probably playing first base.

And if his one appearance was on a day ending in Y, then Amed Rosario was probably his shortstop.

Points for both of you! BUT -- Alonso actually didn't start the game. Todd Frazier started at first, and Alonso replaced him in the 7th. Rosario started and batted 6th.

I'll say Buffalo Boy was catching

Nope. This was a day that he wouldn't have normally been catching.

I seem to remember the game was a blowout (victory? loss?) and that would suggest that some regulars might have gotten pulled by the time he entered, but that's harder to do now that we have to have 18-man pitching staves.

Correct. We were up 13-1 when he entered the game. Faced three batters, retired them all via groundout. (One was to Rosario.)

There was also a Met injury in this game.

Early August, right? That could be Dom Smith's or Robinson CanĂ³'s injury.



Or maybe it was DOWN GOES FRAZIER!!!!, since we know that he left the game.

Didn't Donnie Hart have some R&B hits back in the 70s?

Jeff McNeil was probably playing and raking if we were winning by a bunch.

Point for Fman! McNeil started the game in right but moved to second when Cano got hurt. Hit one of three Met home runs in the game, too.

We don't have to specify the position? Put me down for Michael Conforto.

Davis is correct. Conforto started in right, but left when we went up by 11.

At the third base slot: down goes Frazier?

Re: Who Remembers Donnie Hart?

Okay, so apparently NOBODY remembers poor Donnie Hart, so Edgy was mostly right. The defense behind Mr. Hart in the eighth:



1B: Alonso

2B: McNeil

3B: Hechavarria

SS: Rosario

LF: JD Davis

CF: Lagares

RF: Altherr

C: Nido



Hart got Jacob Stallings to ground to short, Pablo Reyes to ground to second, and then pitcher Parker Markel, in his first major league AB, to ground to third.

Re: Who Remembers Donnie Hart?

I was ready to go with Lagares in center after you answered the 3b guess.



it may be true that nobody remembers Donnie Hart pitching, but I think it's almost as true to say nobody remembers Adeiny Hechavarria playing third.
