Around SBN: Chan Sung Jung Wins Thriller Over Dustin Poirier

Open Gameday Thread 7/7/07

Goofus_tiny by Goofus on in News

(Grant's away this weekend, so the inmates have taken over the asylum.)

In honor of the numerical oddity regarding today's date, this thread is dedicated to the two players tied for #7 on the all-time Adjusted OPS+ leaderboard; Dan Brouthers and "Shoeless" Joe Jackson.

The life and times of #7 Jackson have been well-chronicled, but #7 Brouthers is less known. I tried to find out more about his personal life, thinking having 7 brides would be pretty fascinating, but no luck. This is from the from the Hof's site:

"Playing for a variety of teams during a 19-year career which spanned four decades, Dan Brouthers won five batting titles, more than any other 19th century player. The powerful first baseman also led his league in slugging percentage during seven seasons, hits on three occasions and totaled over 100 home runs before 1900, a rare feat. His lifetime batting average of .349 ranks in the all-time top 10. He is considered to be the first great slugger in baseball and never skipped a Home Run Derby hosted in his home park."

More interesting tidbits. In 1893 he appeared in 77 games! After retiring from Philadelphia at age 38, he returned for 2 games and 5 ABS for the New York Giants . 2 + 5 = 7 !! Creepy, huh?

Oh yeah, game today. Giants vs. (insert team name). Go Giants! Beat the (insert team name). I hate those guys!

Don't forget our own little number 7. Go Pedro!

Re: Open Gameday Thread 7/7/07
Major League Baseball claims [Brouthers's] career batting average was .349. Other sources such as baseball-reference.com indicate his career mark was .342. This disparity results from a league rule in effect in 1887, which counted walks as hits. Some sources reflect the statistics as originally recorded, while others change them retroactively.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Brouthers

Imagine what Bonds's average would be under that rule.

The Fringe was right.

Re: Open Gameday Thread 7/7/07
Bonds would be batting over .500. Given that a walk isn't actually that much less valuable than a single most of the time that just emphasizes how amazingly valuable he is to the offense.

It's probably not worth noting that 7 is a magic number in western civilization. 7, 3, and 40. But since we're already passed 3/03/03, and since we'll probably never see 40/40/040, Goofus is doing the only right thing by forcing us to celebrate the sevens.

I like how they said they were going to give Freddie more PT and they've followed that up by keeping him on the bench for two straight games.

Roberts Last 14 Days: .256/.304/.326
Winn Last 14 Days: .224/.286/.296
Lewis Last 14 Days: .500/.533/.786

Now, that's only 14 AB for Freddie, but he's clearly swinging a hot bat right now and he hits well (.894 OPS) against RHP.

Anyway, I'll stop ranting but that's annoying.

Re: FREE FREDDIE LEWIS!!
Let's hope they're just "showcasing" Roberts and Winn.

Freddie ain't going nowhere and he'll get a ton of PT in Aug/Sept. I would encourage the Giants to do anything in their power to goose some quality performance out of Roberts over the next 2-3 weeks to bait the hook.

Still, can't imagine anyone wanting to be on the hook for another two years of the Dave Roberts Show, no matter what a grand clubhouse guy he appears to be.

Talk radio in NY has been hilarious today -- a big part of it has been discussion about how Bonds owes it to the S.F. fans to participate in the home run contest. Of course, not one of the callers was a Giants fan so it was another pile on Barry opportunity. The concept that some of us might like Barry to sit it out and focus everything on hitting in the second half to help preserve the psyches of our young pitchers never crossed their minds.

Don't know (or care how old you are) but Clem is 5 yrs younger than me and doing great. What is more spectacular Clem or Bonds for their age?

Re: Clem was dealing
It's hard to compare pitchers and hitters. Bonds and Clements are both pretty spectacular, both incredibly self-centered and, it's my belief, both accumulating records just a little bit better than their natural talents would have made possible without some chemical help.

At their age and still performing
Sometimes I find it hard to get off the couch. Clem gave up 1 run in 8 innings to one of the best teams in baseball. Bonds is having an AS year. Amazing.

Re: At their age and still performing
All these guys are amazing, as much as we beat up on most of them. When Michael Jordan started to play baseball for the White Sox, one sportswriter in Chicago wrote "All this is going to prove is what a great ballplayer Mike Huff is." Huff was the 25th guy on the major league roster that year.

The Benevolent Society of Aardvarks have trademarked the use of the term "nibble", to be used only within the context of aardvark feeding and mating. It's kinda their thing.

Hate to get all legal and stuff, but that's the only way my friends can protect their trademark.

He's going to choose Dave Roberts because EVERYONE knew he was going to steal and he still stole the base.

I have never been happier to miss a Giants game in my life.
Strikeouts are boring. Besides that, they're fascist. Not boring: Emmanuel Burriss. Not fascist: SF Dugout

I signed on late, so I just have to say who is Skip Schumaker and how did he get such an old-fashioned baseball name.

I nominate Messenger to bean Duncan tomorrow. No way Duncan tries to charge Randall. And if he does, it's something I'd pay to see.

We were gifted a ton of runs via 7 errors tonite and last nite, yet could only squeak out two, one-run victories. LOL.

Better than losing by one, I guess.
