Game Thread: 4/4 Sailors @ Shimmy

[msgkings322]

I have it down to Twins, Royals, Mets, or dogs.

Seeing as how the dogs just flat out suck ass, it must be them.

Just down to those 12-13 possibilities?

Twins: Killebrew many times, Brian Dozier
Mets: Beltran, Hundley, Piazza
Dogs: tons - Green, Beltre, Sheffield, some guy called The Duke, Hodges, Campanella, Piazza...

So that leaves: the Royals as your winner. Closest was Steve Balboni (36) for a long time...until Moustakas last year with 38.

By the way can I get some love for Cueto? Dude has been awesome. Dude was sick in 2016, it's not like he's that guy from last year anymore. He's been a legit ace for years.

And last year he was dealing with a ton of shit.

His dad was sick and he had to deal with getting him to the states and then caring for him. This caused him to miss the first few weeks of ST to boot.

Then he was dealing with blisters all year due to the smoothed balls.

Felix hasn't been in his prime for at least two years. Its too bad because he is only 31. All those innings are probably catching up to him.

Same thing happened to Cain, Felix lasted a bit longer though.

And Phlap...

Re: your signature...

I still remember that play. That was good Pence. Back when just his presence changed the lineup.

Wasn't that the beginning of the end for him though? Not that play in particular, but IIRC he was like just coming back from his first injury. It ended up being far from his last.

Great play though. Against the Mets right?

We absolutely need him to keep it up. Love watching him pitch though

Cueto brings to mind a pop song from way back when: Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop.

How the fuck can you remember who they were playing? I had to zoom in and it was still fuzzy but it looks like NY.

Here ya go:

That was his first game back after a prolonged DL stint, IIRC.

I don't know

Useless trivia tends to stick in my head, shoving more important information out of the way. That's definitely Curtis Granderson trying to score, when he was on the Mets.
