Doesn't Buck realize that Alvarez is three homers away from a Johnny Bench record for homers by a 21 year old catcher? He may have fallen out of the ROY race, but I think the kid deserves a shot, especially in a band box like this place. And if he gets them, the publicity could put him back into the ROY race. Later

That would be a pretty obscure record. Beyond that, two of his homeruns are as a designated hitter.

They are playing Mets batting

In this era yould would be tracking DH home runs for so many players that it would be hard to disqualify players for having a few dings at DH

Alvarez falling out of the ROY race might have a bit more to do with him hitting sub-.200 w/a grand total of 3 HRs since the end of July than would Buck failing to allow him a chance to chase some obscure 'record' by slotting him at DH in a random game with a week to go in the season.

ashie62 Sep 23 2023 02:26 PM Re: IGT 9/23 Mets vs Phillies Monsoon Alert 4:05

Makes sense I was looking up sluggers with many homers and low averages and Schwarber seems to have the lowest BA Rob Deer hit 25 HR batting .175 Gorman Thomas was in the .230s Dave Kingman should be in the Mets HOF and Cooperstown

ashie62 Sep 23 2023 02:27 PM Re: IGT 9/23 Mets vs Phillies Monsoon Alert 4:05

Mauricio should have been up months ago

ashie62 Sep 23 2023 02:29 PM Re: IGT 9/23 Mets vs Phillies Monsoon Alert 4:05

Nice to know most of these young guys will have important roles next year

ashie62 Sep 23 2023 02:29 PM Re: IGT 9/23 Mets vs Phillies Monsoon Alert 4:05

Mauricio!!!!!

ashie62 Sep 23 2023 02:31 PM Re: IGT 9/23 Mets vs Phillies Monsoon Alert 4:05

Ronny Mauricio looks kinda like Elly De La Cruz

Frayed Knot Sep 23 2023 02:33 PM Re: IGT 9/23 Mets vs Phillies Monsoon Alert 4:05

Not sure that was the smartest move with no one out ... but it worked so I can't complain too much. Besides, runner on 3rd/no one out for this year this year might be shorter odds.

Great job by Q-Tip digging out of further trouble after the triple.

Frayed Knot Sep 23 2023 03:04 PM Re: IGT 9/23 Mets vs Phillies Monsoon Alert 4:05

Bohm HRs to LF maybe because of the wind. Harper HR'd to RF despite the wind.

Frayed Knot Sep 23 2023 03:07 PM Re: IGT 9/23 Mets vs Phillies Monsoon Alert 4:05

DJS over-slides 2nd base on a SB attempt. Damn oven mitts!!

ashie62 Sep 23 2023 03:10 PM Re: IGT 9/23 Mets vs Phillies Monsoon Alert 4:05

Dylan Cease and Eloy Jimenez were once traded for Quintana

Vientos runs like me

ashie62 Sep 23 2023 03:16 PM Re: IGT 9/23 Mets vs Phillies Monsoon Alert 4:05

Ron, a hot take is a bullet of cool

Frayed Knot Sep 23 2023 03:18 PM Re: IGT 9/23 Mets vs Phillies Monsoon Alert 4:05

For an esoteric record such as 'Most HRs as a Catcher' [subject to blah blah] then, yes, only those HRs hit while in the lineup as a catcher would count towards that record.

ashie62 Sep 23 2023 03:26 PM Re: IGT 9/23 Mets vs Phillies Monsoon Alert 4:05

Lindor throws a meatball to Narvaez

Frayed Knot Sep 23 2023 03:28 PM Re: IGT 9/23 Mets vs Phillies Monsoon Alert 4:05

Even with T. Turner running, I think trying for the DP might have been the better option.

Would the record books consider all of Alvarez's homers as hit by catcher this season I'm trying to suggest that I don't think there is any "book" that officially records this record. I'm sure there's somebody who has stolen more bases than anybody else as a 36-year-old thirdbaseman, and you can probably look it up with fangraphs or baseball-reference dataquery, but I don't think any official source that has set such a record in ink and touts it as a standard other players of the future will be conscious of. But tradition has been that output-by-position records include only the output recorded by players while actually entered into the lineup as currently playing that position. Davey Johnson, for instance, hit 43 homers in 1973, but he wasn't credited with breaking Rogers Hornsby's 1922 record of homers by a secondbaseman, because one of those homers came as a pinch-hitter.

Edgy MD Sep 23 2023 04:05 PM Re: IGT 9/23 Mets vs Phillies Monsoon Alert 4:05

Nimmo probably gets in better with his feet there, but a three-run inning is a three-run inning.

Frayed Knot Sep 23 2023 04:39 PM Re: IGT 9/23 Mets vs Phillies Monsoon Alert 4:05

Schwarber not even getting pulled for defense these days it seems.

Why? It's been that way in the AL for 50 years.

"They" are getting even more ominous.
