This one isn't too difficult but since we were on home run hitters earlier, here goes. Only player to hit at least one home run for four different teams all in the same season? Modern era of course.Comment -

I got a good one for you jabronis.
I never would have known this if I wasn't working on upgrading my databases earlier.
I stumbled on this fact I never would have guessed it.
Last season, 2019, what left handed starter led the majors in innings pitched.
Not a trick question as it pertains only to left handed starters.
Which southpaw pitched the most innings last year.
*hint*
Toss out all the brand names, lefties like Kershaw, Mad-Bum, etc.
He's not a household name left handed starter but he did pitch the most innings.Comment -
Rodriguez from Red Sox?Comment -
OK
Let's clean this up.
50 hr mid season is Big Mac 1997
5 straight KOs is Fernando in 86
The lefty is the kid from Texas, Minor with all the innings.Comment -
Who is the only 2 time Number 1 overall pick?Comment -

Mike Minor.
So I was analyzing all the left handed pitchers today and all the hitters that excelled against left handed pitching.
Even though Minor threw the most southpaw innings last season of all the fourteen (that's all, just 14) qualified lefty starters (minimum 162 innings pitched Ryu easily was the best left handed starter last seaon.
After sorting all the data, Patrick Corbin was the second best left handed starter last season.
Mind you once again, you can't qualify for pitching titles if you don't reach the required 162 innings pitched.
Chris Sale did not qualify, Rich Hill neither.
Oh, not for nothing, the hitter that mashed left handed pitching last season the hardest and most was JD Martinez, his numbers last season vs. LHP were criminal.

I used to go to the Atlantic League Indie games in Bridgeport Ct.
The Atlantic League was just that, independent, no major league affiliations.
The level of play was better than AA ball, not quite AAA.
Many players trying to get a look-see from scouts play there and many players who have recently been cut from the their pro 40 man roster ex-team play there too just to keep their skills sharp.
They can rake in the Indie Leagues too.
And the summer Cape Cod League......Comment -
has to be the legend Danny fukin Goodwin man he lit it up in the 70'sComment -
Had under on atl braves for 500. They were going to win until Helton hit game winning hr on last day. Shame he went to tenn.Originally posted by asiagamblerComment -
On this date, May 3, 2015 exactly five years ago Brewers manager Ron Roenicke was fired.
The Brews were sucking ass at 7 and 18 and a change had to be made, too bad it wasn't Roenicke's fault that his team couldn't pitch.
Did you know the only 100 win team in 2015 were the Cardinals.
Not New York, LA, the champs KC, but the Cards.
