Jeff Bannister out as Rangers manager. I wonder if he could return to the Pirates in some capacity.

Big nite for Meadows on Friday! Entered the game in the top of the 6th as a PH for the DH and then stayed in the game as DH. Final line: 3 AB, 2 Runs, 3 Hits, 3 RBI, among the hits he had a 2B and 2 Singles. Quite a nite for the young former Bucco stud prospect. >:(

Gerrit Cole is sitting on 272 strikeouts, and is the probable Astros starter against the Orioles tonight. Four strikeouts tonight would move him into a five-way tie for the 98th most strikeouts in a season, with the tie including Bob Veale's Pirate record 1965 season. Over 40 of the people above him pitched before the mound was moved to 60'6".

The mound was lowered in 1969 from 15 to 10 inches. It was always 60'6". The interesting thing is that pitchers now pitch considerably fewer innings. Pitch counts determine innings. CGs are almost nonexistent. Cole has 272 Ks in 194.1 innings. Veale had 276 Ks in 266 innings.

I'm sorry, I was talking about the way old days of the 1890s. About 40 of the top 100 strikeout seasons occurred by about 1890, with pitchers throwing from a shorter distance than 60'6".
Cole was apparently rained out. He is listed as probable for tomorrow.

I didn't know that about the mound in the 1890s. I learned something.

There were a lot of things different about 1800's baseball. 10 bizarre baseball rules you won't believe actually existed.
My favorite?
The plight of the umpire is a difficult one: You try tracking a small white ball traveling at ridiculously high speeds, with a stadium full of people and the entire Internet ready to castigate you if you're wrong.
Being an umpire at the turn of the 20th century, though? That actually sounds pretty great: They were chosen from the crowd prior to first pitch -- they were often prominent members of the local community -- and rather than spend all that energy to squat behind the catcher, umpires were given easy chairs in the general vicinity of home plate.

Even today it often seems like the umpires were chosen from the crowd minutes before the game. Jerry Meals comes to mind.

Cole goes six, strikes out four, and presumably finishes the season with 276.
