Looks like Murtaugh took over for Bobby Bragan around August 1, 1957.
The team had 3 managers in 1917: Jimmy Callahan for 60 games, Honus Wagner for 5 (I think he then begged off), and then Hugo Bezdek.

Re: Pittsburgh Pirates, Penguins launch streaming service for local games
Well, this is good news. Not available on Roku yet, though it seems they're working on it. I would have to move stuff around to use my monitor as a TV, which maybe I'll do if the team shows signs of life

Re: The Departed
Ott was a rarity - a minor league outfielder who just didn't hit enough and fully converted to catcher in one season at Triple A. I think the Pirates kept him in the outfield for several years because they liked his arm.

Re: The Departed
Larry Demery who pitched in the 70s for the Bucs has passed. The well-named "Bullfrog" He pitched only four seasons in the majors, never had a losing record. Demery joined the team in June, 1974, and made 15 starts, including a two-month run beginning in mid-July when he went 6-2 in the m...

Re: The Departed
Am I remembering correctly that he took no hitters deep into several games that year? He sure did. Pitching for the Cards against the Reds in 1989, DeLeon pitched eleven shutout innings while facing the minimum 33 batters, yielding only a single. DeLeon was called up to cover an injury or some such...

Re: 2024 Official Spring Training Thread
I'm sure everyone realizes this, but WAR isn't the full measure. Quintana started Game 1 in the Cards playoff series that year - that's pretty serious leverage that has to be considered in some way.

Jason Bay-Cliff Lee:.I have read there was a trade Neal Huntington wanted to make at the Winter Meetings in 2011 or 2012 with pitcher the Indians had, but Coonley stopped it.

Re: The Departed
McBean went the distance while giving up 13 hits. That would never happen today. I wonder how many pitches he threw? Maybe not so many for that era, around 138. Someone came up with a formula to estimate pitches: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_pitch_count_estimator I'd love to have an accura...
