Oh I whiffed on the Texas gold glover

[Benjamin Grimm]

I got eight of nine. I missed on the Texas Gold Glove. I considered Oddibe McDowell, Toby Harrah, and Ivan Rodriguez. I went with McDowell, but of the three, Rodriquez was the only correct answer.

Astros/Rangers: Nolan Ryan 51%
Astros/Nationals: Rusty Staub 4%
Astros/200K: Mike Scott 5%
Dodgers/Rangers: Frank Howard 0.5%
Dodgers/Nationals: Max Scherzer 21%

Ugh - while I used all Expos for the Nationals in the grid, I forgot about the Rangers previously being the Senators.

Charlie Hough was my Dodger/Ranger. I was trying to remember Bo Belinsky's name, but as it turned out, he didn't play for either of them.

I screwed up my perfect grid by confusing my west coast Nats and putting Juan Soto in as a Dodger Nat when I meant Trea Turner.

best showing in a while, i only whiffed on the astronat.

apparently, washington is like the only team that octavio dotel didn't pitch for...

tex/hou: nolan ryan 58%
was/hou: NOT octavio dotel
200k hou mike scott 6%
tex/lad: adrian beltre 18%
was/lad: max scherzer 23%
200k lad kershaw 58%
tex gg: ivan rodriguez 27%
was gg: ryan zimmerman 70%
200k gg: greg maddux 60%

Did not realize that for Washington I think you can pick Expos but I have not tried yet

[nymr83]

I forgot all about the Expos and so couldn't come up with answers on two questions thinking of Nationals alone.

The Texas Gold Glove was an easy one for me, only because I'll always remember Rafael Palmiero's 1999 Gold Glove at First base proving forever how incredibly dumb most baseball writers are. He played 128 games at DH that year.

The thing about the GG votes (at least in that era) is that they were often the worst ones out of all the categories despite, or maybe because, they were the ones Not voted on by the writers. For many years it was the mangers and coaches who picked those.

Seems that I didn't know Vogelbach was a Mariner. Was my only empty square. Big score Phillie-Mariner Michael Jackson

I'm not sure why I thought Bert Blyleven played for Toronto, but he didn't.

Seems that I didn't know Vogelbach was a Mariner.

I don't either and, even if I did, the odds of that fact occurring to me would be near zero.
I'd get Maybe 20% of these two team questions. And most of that would be from blindly guessing Todd Zeile, Rich Hill, and Octavio Dotel over and over again.

Once again, the dreaded TB logo. At first, I was confused and found myself trying to think of Blue Jays and A's players who had had tuberculosis. The app was a little glitchy today. I got credit for Victor Zambrano as a Ray and a Jay (but you doesn't has to call him Johnson) but instead of seeing his name and a photo, I just got a green box with a little 0.1% in the upper right corner. I had tried guessing Rico Carty for Twins/A's (which would have been wrong, by the way) but his name wasn't available in the lookup list. I thought I had awoken in an alternate universe in which there was never a Rico Carty, a world in which grapefruits taste sweet and penguins can fly.

Anyway, seven of nine for me today:

Rays/Jays: Victor Zambrano 0.1%
Rays/A's: --
Rays/All-Star: Evan Longoria 25%
Twins/Jays: Jack Morris 6%
Twins/A's: --
Twins/All-Star: Rod Carew 3%
100RBI/Jays: Carlos Delgado 11%
100RBI/A's: Reggie Jackson 8%
100RBI/All-Star: Darryl Strawberry 0.2% (one of 482 valid answers; this would be a hard one to miss)

[dgwphotography]

I’m sick and tired of seeing Tampa in seemingly every other puzzle… 6 of 9 today:

Rays/Jays- -
Rays/A's: --
Rays/All-Star: Evan Longoria 25%
Twins/Jays: Paul Molitor 12%
Twins/A's: --
Twins/All-Star: Kirby Puckett 15%
100RBI/Jays: Joe Carter 14%
100RBI/A's: Reggie Jackson 8%
100RBI/All-Star: Ted Williams 0.7%
