Do you have to pay extra for the play index, or do I just not know how to use it? Fascinating looking through that list.
1) Against Atlanta's big three: Smoltz (.284/.467/.701), Glavine (.329/.442/.588), Maddux (.262/.370/.485)
2) I think the first good-to-great pitcher to show up on the list (in a decent sample) who was owned by Bonds is Tim Hudson (.407/.500/1.000)
3) Couldn't hit David Cone at all (.175/.267/.275)
4) By Bonds's standards, basically a draw vs. Randy Johnson (.306/.452/.551); hardly went to bat against Clemens, Pedro, or Mussina

Name the five guys who finished ahead of Bonds in 1986's ROY voting.
Includes: one (almost?) borderline HOF'er, one future MVP, one pretty good career reliever, a good middle infielder, and one flaky guy of no consequence whatsoever.

Roger McDowell is career reliever, right?
Trying to remember who even won NL that year.... Canseco was AL.

Completely forgot that was Worrell's rookie year. For some reason I thought it was 87 (when he was so dominant).
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Saturday, 28 December 2013 15:37 (ten years ago) link
You've got Worrell. Geographically speaking, you should have an easy time with three of the other four.
― clemenza, Saturday, 28 December 2013 15:39 (ten years ago) link
Yeah I looked. Honestly I don't remember that regular season that much (the next year was when I started following A's games religiously) but I definitely remember the post-season.

I was impressed looking at Robby Thompson's career box. He was damn good until he fell off a cliff at 32.
― clemenza, Saturday, 28 December 2013 17:03 (ten years ago) link
Very solid in his day yeah. In a non-Ryne Sandberg alternative universe he would likely have gotten more attention.

Bob Costas sanctimoniously questions Barry's sudden ability to effortlessly lift such a massive cup of coffee, and how Barry ruined the grand old tradition of drinking from a mug.

He's sorry for being a dick all those years. But when he tried not being a dick, he didn't hit as well, so his teammates asked him to be more of a dick again.

Joking aside, I'll happily take Bonds' side in this. If he wants to be a loner, let him, it's nobody's business.

what should i ask Barry at the SABR panel in 3 weeks? Ozuna's swing, or how he turned down his assholishness?
