I hate every MLB team that isn’t the Pittsburgh Pirates but the team I hate the most is the Pittsburgh Pirates.
I’m an idiot I spent a good two minutes thinking that said no reverse and was trying to figure out how that would work lol.

Griffin’s season is better but Mason Martin’s .254/.351/.558 line across A and A+ as a 20 year old in 2019 is what came to my mind.

My issue with it is I don’t understand how it’s not already illegal. Players aren’t supposed to be allowed to lower their heads and initiate contact and like that’s the whole point of a sneak play.

He obviously doesn’t count because well 2020 but Hayes had a legitimate case with just 95 PA.

353 saves and last year he passed BIlly Wagner for most career strike outs by a lefty reliever. If not him or Cutch I think the answer right now is probably Lofton (I think the veteran committee puts him in eventually).

Chapman is certainly going to have a case

I believe all the NL guys are wearing 44 for Aaron and the AL guys all have 3 for Ruth.

Had to look this up but yeah the only other position player I can find left who even played in 2009 is Justin Turner.

Is this an inclusive or exclusive between? Sonny Gray has 120 on the dot.

For the majority of the year no American actually uses EST so this would be incredibly weird but hey I’m down for something outside the box.

Interesting I always assumed you were just a bot that for some reason kept tabs on where Andy Van Slyke was physically located.

I don’t think giving Bart a 1B glove would have worked out that well. He’s never played there so it would have been very weird if Shelton was just like sure why not.
March 27, 2025 at 11:40 PM
So Pham is lumped with Frazier and we’re calling Bart a DH? Both seem reasonable-ish.

Finally to finish this off I'm going to build a 26 man roster using one player per letter. Since no player's last name ends with X I'm going to select one who's first name does. Going to try to build it as if it's a real roster so real relief pitchers (for the most part).

This is what I call team QUIZY. It's made up of the letters that can't field their own team.
