    Renovations?! How many teams with dead ballplayers are using the field when MLB isn’t hosting a game?

    He was becoming a pretty consistent player until injuries eliminated what should have been his most productive years. He basically missed all of 92 and 93 and half of 94. consistently bad his two highest fWAR seasons were 1.5 and 1.8 (i doubt his bwar is much better). granted, the defensive value numbers on stuff from that long ago can be called into question. 8 walks in 511 plate appearances in 1997. there's free-swinging and then there's whatever the horsefeathers dunston was taught.

    Doug Dascenzo, and Harry horsefeathering loved that dude. I rode in an elevator with Dascenzo at Cubs Convention and remember being completely unimpressed. At that time, the idea of having a close interaction with a Cubs player was mind-blowing, but something about a scruffy 5'7" guy with a toothpick in his mouth just didn't fit the bill. today i learned doug dascenzo is a coach for the tennessee smokies.

    Don’t know, but the fact that Maddux, Walton, Dwight Smith, Grace, Mitch Williams and Dunston transitioned into one of the worst teams of the 90’s is pretty sad. Edit: and even Sandberg into the mid 90’s had he not quit for awhile. There were some pretty astoundingly bad trades in there to help make that happen. The Cubs turned Lee Smith, Dennis Eckersly, Rafael Palmeiro, and Jamie Moyer into one decent year of Mitch Williams. Add the failure to resign Greg Maddux to that and you have a recipe for a lot of years of suck. paul kilgus was the first cub as a kid who i thought "this guy sucks."

    Julio's runs were very fun, and the final was pretty good, but the format is incentivizing stuff that make it hard to follow and appreciate. The split screen plus rapid fire pitches because of the timed rounds meant that you barely could follow the flight of half the home runs. Unless it was said on the broadcast(which I muted after BCS came on) I have no idea what home runs were the furthest or who had the best average distance. Some of my best HRD memories are of guys hitting the ball impossible distances, and that's been replaced by a made for TV format that pays lip service to majestic bombs and instead makes it an impressive test of endurance through speed swinging. That's not objectively bad, but I think it's fair for some to prefer more emphasis on the extremes of how far a ball can be hit instead of a speedrun. Especially with the camera work/tracking that objectively is difficult to follow at times. i'll take a speed run over the old 10 outs home run derby format any day of the week. if anything, my biggest gripe is finding a way to watch the horsefeathering thing. i have mlb.tv, which wasn't airing it. signed up for espn+ and then found out it was on regular espn and not espn+. signed up for a 7-day trial of youtube tv in order to log into espn to watch the derby. mlb needs to get their horsefeathers together.
