congrats to Apple TV! and to Wayne randazzo of all people who got to call it live (he’s usually the Mets radio guy, he might actually be better as a tv play by play guy)

actually never saw him smile like that

Wonderful moment. And did I see Adrian Beltre and Dave Winfield in the crowd? (I watched the highlights from MLB's YouTube channel)
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Saturday, 24 September 2022 05:14 (one year ago) link
I have spent all night trying to figure out who that was. Was it David Winfield?

beltre was the guy he went over to

Like they haven't had enough good stuff happen in L.A. this year.

500 HRs against RHP, 200 HRs against LHP

the other way around surely?
― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 24 September 2022 17:19 (one year ago) link
nope!for most of his career he was an equal-opportunity destroyer of right and left-handed pitching. but more importantly, most pitchers are right-handed so he had a lot more PAs against RHP then against LHP

He went over to Beltre after hitting the HR, but the other guy (Winfield) appeared on camera a couple of times.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Saturday, 24 September 2022 18:10 (one year ago) link
I should say -- (Winfield?)
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Saturday, 24 September 2022 18:11 (one year ago) link
beltre i recognized, but winfield was driving me nuts because I also recognized him and just could not remember his name

after a 2-run double, pujols is now one RBI behind babe ruth for second place all-time. strangely, baseball reference has babe ruth with 2214 RBIs while fangraphs shows 2217 RBIs? albert has 2213.

he hits a HR, his 702nd, in his final game in St. Louis (three more follow in Pittsburgh), and ties Ruth with 2214 RBIs as well, behind only Hank Aaron.

what a moment

I was thinking the way he’s been hitting, he must’ve been having *some* decent success against right handed pitching, but wow those platoon splits are something else. Albert on the Cards playing at Coors Field 2006 vs Albert on the Angels 2020 basically.

#703 is in pittsburgh, a 2-run HR that barely cleared the wall in the left-field corner. it puts him ahead of Babe Ruth in RBIs with 2,216, second only to Hank Aaron.

Was surprised at first he didn't join Judge as player of the month, but yeah, Escobar was the better choice.
