Another immaculate! And like Inty and AmazingB I was surprised by bottom left's low percentage

Especially since the team was named after him at one point.

I mean, hello, Cleveland's Own, Big Ed! Considering I biffed it and selected the highest 200+ hits guys, staying under 100 is what I was hoping for!

bah should have had an immaculate but got cute instead of going for obvious answers and ended up with 7/9.

learned that shawn green never had a 200 hit season for the blue jays and richie ashburn never had 100 rbi for the phillies.

Yeah I remember looking at Ashburn for the draft and being surprised that he only had over 60 once

Thanks to @LMTShawn I got my first immaculate today but it was the NFL one. Randomly throwing out journeyman QBs got it for me.

i was reading this interview with george brett about the pine tar incident (gulp) 40 years later:

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/38059396/george-brett-pine-tar-game-40th-anniversary-hall-fame

and it turns out jack clements is in good fodeuss company. who knew?

Nineteen-eighty was the summer that I almost hit .400 and obviously a lot of stress, and we finally beat the Yankees in the '80 playoffs. All of a sudden, after beating the Yankees, I didn't feel good. I felt a really bad pain inside me, basically, and it turned out I had internal and external hemorrhoids.

Okay, since the real trade deadline is just a few days away and with Shohei Ohtani being maybe the biggest piece ever available at the deadline, let's have some fun and predict a landing spot for him and if you want to get even nerdier, what's the package you think LA gets in return? (note: I think Arte Moreno is a moron and won't trade him. But let's have fun anyways!)

Baltimore gets: Shohei Ohtani and Matt Moore
Los Angeles gets: Jackson Holliday (BAL #1, MLB #1), Connor Norby (BAL #6, MLB #65), Coby Mayo (BAL #7, MLB #74), Dylan Beavers (BAL #10) Cade Povich (BAL #11), and Seth Johnson (BAL #14)

LA Dodgers get: SP/DH Shohei Ohtani, 2B/3B Eduardo Escobar, LHP Tyler Anderson
LA Angels get: OF James Outman, RHP Bobby Miller, RHP Brusdar Graterol, 2B/OF Michael Busch (LAD #2, MLB #34), and RHP Gavin Stone (LAD #4, MLB #49)

I don't see how the Angels trade him. To be the team that traded Ohtani they'd have to get such a haul, but how do you trade that many prospects for a two month rental? I just don't see it coming together.

The only team that I think would offer enough would be the Dodgers and I can't see the Angels sending him to L.A.

Amazing.

8/9. Rarity score of 140 but couldn't close the deal. Cleaned up on the percentages with the Mets and All Star ones though. (With an assist from FODEUSS for middle right)

Pointy gonna hate himself when he sees my middle square, which has higher percentage than I would have expected. 98 rarity score because of that damned upper left.

Amazing.

What sucks is that I had considered him for the bottom middle square but I completely blanked on his A's career

Toad Ramsey and JR Richard just combined to throw 23 innings in a game, and both got no decisions.

I love baseball. I love FODEUSS.

to be fair, heels, current Oakland A's Ownership also has poor Oakland A's ball knowledge

I feel like a lot of superstars spend that last year in Oakland. Or at least one of their last few years.
