Bill Madlock sounds right. Not sure about the second one so I'll punt and say Mark Grace.

I agree, it's most likely Madlock - the time is roughly correct and no way did he come from their minor league system (especially during the 70's).

Definitely Madlock. Is the second one Banks? He didn't take a ton of walks each year but he did play a long time.

And as far as the Madlock answer goes- I hate to be old enough to know the answer for sure but I still remember driving around in my friend's car when we heard the news.

Sosa?

trivia carpet bombing, I like your style. One of those is correct, the other is #3 on the list

I'm gonna go with Hack, mainly b/c 'hack' is the antithesis of taking a pitch!

The Rockies' World Series Ticket sale today suffered a total and complete meltdown. Heads should roll in the IT Dept. Whatamess! Five hundred tickets sold. That's all. Even mannytrillo could have sold more.

cwtp: The Rockies’ World Series Ticket sale today suffered a total and complete meltdown. Heads should roll in the IT Dept. Whatamess! Five hundred tickets sold. That’s all. Even mannytrillo could have sold more. Let's just say the server was not "sized" for this volume of ticket sales... lol.

"This morning, after more than 8.5 million hits on the Colorado Rockies website, Paciolan (Pack-ee-o-lan), Major League Baseball's ticket vendor, experienced a system wide outage that impacted all of its North American customers. As a result, the Colorado Rockies have suspended the sale of 2007 World Series tickets scheduled to be played at Coors Field." 8.5 million? okay...seriously...the ticket resale/scalping industry is WAY out of control if 8.5 million distinct IPs are hitting their servers. theyre already using a series of jamming tactics and hiring people for an hour or 2 on sale mornings... 8.5 million...geez... Paciolan dropped the ball there, but even taking in account "e-scalpers" i wonder who would produce numbers expecting 8.5m hits as a load estimate for the launch? damn...

CWTP: "Whatamess! Five hundred tickets sold. That’s all. Even mannytrillo could have sold more." HA HA Maybe I should put my resume in over there in Denver...:)

as of now the incident is supposedly an "external malicious attack"...aka lol internet.

You know what would end ticket scalping? Raising the prices of face value tickets.

Chad - it's hard enough to afford to go to a playoff game. Are you saying they should cost more?

Yes. It's called supply and demand I'll be damned if I'm not a BIG supporter of supply side economics.

Ticket scalping to some degree is like commodities speculation. If you Wrigley bought box seat tickets for September for $100 at that start of the season, by the end of the season you would be sitting pretty...unless the year was 2006. But I agree with Chad that if there are tickets that are always scalped for higher than their face value, then raising their prices would curb scalping. You can't apply that to all the Cubs tickets for a given season, though.

    STL traded away a lot of minor league talent that went on to do nothing in the arenado + goldschmidt trades.  neither guy blocked any of their minor league talent in the pipeline, too.  that's ideal places to add talent.

    Natural cycle of baseball. Pitching makes adjustments in approach to counter a hot young rookie. Now it’s time for Busch and his coaches to counter those adjustments. Busch is very good and will figure it out, I think sooner than later.

    In 2020, the pandemic year and the year before they acquired Arenado, the Cardinals finished second and were a playoff team. Of the 12 batters with 100 plate appearances, 8 of them were home grown. Every member of the starting rotation (if you include Wainwright) and all but one of the significant relievers were home grown. While there have been a relative handful of very good trades interspersed which have been mentioned, player development had been their predominant pattern for decades - ever since I became an aware fan in the ‘70’s

    The Arenado deal was not a deal made out of dire need or desperation. It was a splashy, headline making deal for a perennial playoff team intended to be the one piece that brought the Cardinals from a very good team to a World Series contender. They have continued to wheel and deal and have been in a slide ever since. I stand by my supposition that that deal marked a notable turning point within the organization. They broke what had been a very successful formula for a very long time.

    busch is having a really intense k-filled mini slump.  he deserves better after coming back to wrigley after that hot road trip.

    i know alzolay isn't having a great time right now, but i trust hector "ball 4" neris even less than alzolay based on what i've seen coming out of their arms.

    Neris reminds me of Don “Full Pack” Stanhouse.

  • Eric S (view)

    Happ, Busch, Dansby and Madrigal have a combined 25 runners left on base through 7 innings, with Busch accounting for 9 of those.  Seems like a lot.

    PCA finally gets a hit!  2r HR!!!

    They certainly could be coupled. It could also be the case that a team needs good players at the heart of the team and if they are not coming from one source (development) they have to be sought out elsewhere. I don't see the evidence needed to infer the cause.

    bases loaded for the cubs, 0 out...and no runs score.
