Jay Kirk Baseball Thread since 2017: The 2021 season, Dodgers Repeat?

[NFLfan]

Trivia question (seen on this Mets broadcast):

 

Which major league manager has the most base hits? (It is not a difficult one.)

[coltsfansince65]

Paul Molitor?

At first I thought it was Mattingly but once I started running the names of managers through my head, I said it has to be Molitor. He is among those who hit 3000 hits, right?

Yes. He has 3000 hits. That is what made me choose his name.

Wow. How many pitchers has Washington used already in that one? Is that game in Philly? My daughter went to Philly's opener. She said it was bitter cold.

 

Is your daughter a Phillies fan? The Mets play Philly next week, starting Monday.

Not really. She's a baseball fan who lives in Philly. Her spouse is a Phillies fan however.

Sorry about that.

 

I probably should turn mine off too.   Mets now down 3-0. I don't see them coming back against this pitcher.

 

What a difference between the Marlins hitters and the Mets hitters!  The Marlins can hit well and they have speed. 

 

Washington is down to the Phillies 10-0 in the 1st inning. Phils still batting.

As I've said its early things will settle down

[Jay Kirk]

And also this Marlin team is overlooked and can possibly make some noise.

I know. As you see I am still watching the game. Mets are now down 4-1. 

 

We have a former Cards draftee pitching for the Marlins now. His name is Barraclough. Mets can't hit him either.

I agree. I have been very impressed by their batters. And Giancarlo Stanton is a star. Flash Gordon's son Dee Gordon kills the Mets.  Marlins pitching is pretty good too.

Yes it will take 2 or 3 weeks to start to see who is gonna be consistent

[HOZER]

Top of the 8th, Cubs 7, Brewers 4.

Yeah this is looking good. A win puts us at 3-2. I am also glad Bryant is coming out his slump.

I didn't think they would hit Hendricks

[NFLfan]

I love the way the Marlins play. They just successfully executed a safety squeeze. I wish the Mets did more of that, but they have no speed. 

 

Marlins are now up 6-1. This will be a loss for the Mets. They have only 2 hits. The Marlins have ten hits but it seems like many more.

 

Btw, did you guys know the answer to that trivia question I asked?

Yeah it hasn't been one of his best outings. The Offense has been awesome tonight though.

I would've guessed Donald Mattingly so I would've been wrong.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs now up 9-4, fun entertaining game.

Donny baseball. Yes.

 

Yes, you had it right. It  was Paul Molitor. I "liked" your reply. He is the only one who has hit 3000 hits. 

 

(I was talking to the other folks here when I asked asked if they had an answer to the trivia question.)
