Podcasts about Davey Johnson

Please excuse Mike this week, as he is dealing with some laryngitis and was on restricted duty during this episode. But Bill certainly stepped up as the pair celebrate the life and career of the great Davey Johnson to mark his passing at the age of 82. Johnson was a star as a player and a superstar as a manager, leading the Mets to their second championship in 1986 and adding significant value to basically every team he helmed. But he also had a pugnacious and self-destructive streak that seemed to undermine him everywhere he went even as he succeeded beyond all expectations. Plus, happy birthday to Mike Hampton! And farewell to Billy Hunter.

Hosts Mike Guidone and Chris Caputo welcome professional tennis player Jamie Loeb, who discussed the US Open and the changes for the tournament. Later, author Erik Sherman remembered former Mets manager Davey Johnson, who passed away this week. Sherman co-wrote Johnson's memoir My Wild Ride in Baseball and Beyond.

Welcome to Episode 103 of Tablesetters. Devin and Steve return with another in-depth journey through the world of baseball, tackling both the headlines that shake the game and the performances that define it. We begin in Detroit, where the Tigers and Ilitch Sports and Entertainment find themselves in the middle of a storm. A series of troubling misconduct allegations have emerged, involving multiple executives and former player Cameron Maybin. It is a story that extends far beyond the diamond and raises difficult questions about accountability, workplace culture, and the responsibility that professional sports organizations bear toward their employees and their communities. From there, we turn to a pair of emotional and historic chapters. Anthony Rizzo, the face of the Cubs' modern era, has officially retired from Major League Baseball and steps into a new role as a team ambassador. His legacy in Chicago is written not only in numbers but in leadership, resilience, and the unforgettable moment when he caught the final out of the 2016 World Series. We also reflect on the life of Davey Johnson, who has passed away at the age of eighty-two. Johnson was a visionary manager whose analytical approach was ahead of its time and who came closer than most to building a true dynasty with the unforgettable Mets of the nineteen eighties. On the field, the race for National League Most Valuable Player has taken center stage. Kyle Schwarber has joined the select company of sluggers with fifty home runs, while Juan Soto has etched his name into history with a rare thirty home run, thirty stolen base season. This debate captures the essence of value in today's game: is it the thunder of historic power and iconic moments, or is it the balance of all-around excellence? We will also revisit our rankings of the one-two-three MLB Jam pitching trios. From the dominance of the Dodgers with Yamamoto, Snell, and Glasnow, to Tarik Skubal's Cy Young campaign that elevates the Tigers' staff into elite territory, to the balance and depth of the Phillies and Mariners, these rotations represent the backbone of October dreams and postseason survival. The discussion continues with the Mets' recent struggles as their wild card lead shrinks and the Giants close the gap, the unsettling controversy surrounding Framber Valdez and his so-called cross-up moment, and the injuries that could shift the balance of pennant races, including the devastating absence of Bo Bichette for the Blue Jays and the double blow of Trea Turner and Alec Bohm for the Phillies. As always, we round out the episode with our signature segments. We ask “What's the Word?” to define the week's most memorable moments and we look ahead to the Arizona Fall League, where thirteen Top 100 prospects will take the stage, providing one more chance to watch the future of the game under the desert sun. All of this and much more is waiting for you in Episode 103 of Tablesetters. Follow us on Instagram and X @TablesettersPod, and join us as we set the table for another unforgettable week in the game we love.

We return to 2018 and a conversation with the late great manager Davey Johnson, with a cameo from his very excited dogs. This week's new remarks expand on Johnson's Hall of Fame case, though it's now beside the point. We also have a brief story in which Babe Ruth gets hurt, but someone else suffers a worse injury.The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. Baseball, America's brighter mirror, often reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman discusses the game's present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large. Expect history, politics, stats, and frequent Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

The Mets family lost Davey Johnson, the last manager to bring them to a World Championship, 39 years ago. We remember Davey on this episode. Newsday's Mets Beat Writer Laura Albanese discusses the Mets troubles over the past week, and if their playoff hopes could be jeopardized unless they begin winning consistently during the final 2 weeks of the regular season.

TBLS EP 591 Introduction and show info (0:00) The hosts, Brian Beckner and Ed Daily, introduce themselves and the show, noting that it's episode 591 and "seems like just yesterday we did 500." They confirm that the show is likely to end on December 31st of this year. They also provide contact information: "mailbag at the baller lifestyle.com" for emails, a phone number for voicemails, and a reminder to subscribe to their Patreon for bonus content. Michigan Football and Biff Pogge (1:05) The hosts discuss the suspension of Michigan's coach, which they assume is related to the "whole Connor Stallions thing." They are surprised to learn that Biff Pogge is the interim coach for the next two games, recalling him from a previous podcast episode and describing him as a "blast from our past." A discussion of past podcasts (3:08) The hosts lament never getting around to doing their NFL preview for the season. They reflect on the increasing shortness of their shows and joke about the pre-show routine involving Brian eating half a watermelon, which he says "is my pre-show snack ritual." People who died this week (4:23) The hosts list several people who have recently passed away: Cigar Kundu (4:23), a 22-year-old YouTuber from Bangladesh who died after slipping and falling into a waterfall. Ken Dryden (6:08), a "six-time Stanley Cup-winning goaltender" for the Montreal Canadiens. Davey Johnson (6:52), "the 86 Mets manager." George Raveling (7:48), a Hall of Fame basketball coach who famously secured the original copy of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, which is now on display in a museum. Graham Green (9:05), an actor known for his role in Dances with Wolves. Sports stories (11:25) The hosts discuss a series of bizarre sports events: A Missouri fan at the Kansas game "just kinda walks onto the field and kicks a field goal at the Kansas sideline" out of spite. A Phillies fan who loudly demanded a home run ball from a man and his son, which Brian describes as "a disgusting example of fandom." The controversy surrounding Laura Rutledge's "burner account" on X (formerly Twitter), which she allegedly used to "defend her husband." Miscellaneous topics (16:35) They talk about James Dolan, the New York Knicks owner, who allegedly "digitally edited his own face onto a munchkin in a Wizard of Oz show" for the Sphere. They also mention a story about the Clippers getting a "ridiculous tree-planting donation that's tied to their salary cap," which they joke is a "weird, weird scandal." Voicemails (20:30) They attempt to play listener voicemails but are hampered by technical difficulties. Brian notes, "The voicemails are not working, which they never do." Ed also gives an update on his injured toe, saying he had to "pop it back in" after it was dislocated. More voicemails and a Christmas mug (23:05) They successfully play voicemails from "Katie Shady" and "LSU." Brian shares a story about seeing a man "drinking from a Christmas mug in September." Conclusion (25:07) The hosts wrap up the episode. Ed brings up his "half birthday," which is coming up this week on September 11th. Brian thanks the listeners and signs off, stating, "My name is Brian Beckner. This has been episode number 591 of the Ball Lifestyle podcast. We will see you next week. Goodbye."

Hosts Joe Maddon and Tom Verducci begin with the blatant sign stealing happening in baseball. Joe explains what teams can do about it and what reactions he's had about dealing with it. Has the game become too polite? Tom points out how it's affecting the game and the lack of concern from teams stealing calls. We turn to the Mets collapse and what issues they've faced down the stretch. Tom also wonders what issues could haunt the Dodgers through September and the postseason. Plus, we note the passing of longtime player/manager Davey Johnson. Joe recalls some of his memorable moments interacting with Johnson.

The 30th anniversary of Cal Ripken Jr.'s 2131 record-breaking game came with a fascinating finish as the Orioles hosted the Dodgers. This among so many other takeaway and Quirkjians. We have to say goodbye to one of the game's greats, Davey Johnson. Tim Kurkjian's stories about the (should be) Hall of Fame manager will make you smile and laugh through the difficult loss for the game of baseball. Just how good has Aroldis Chapman been these last couple months? Good enough for a Cy Young, we weigh in there. Walker vs Walker created a great moment for our show. And in honor of our guest for tomorrow's show, Jim Abbott, Tim created a team consisting only of big leaguers that never played a minor league game! Thanks for laughing with us and loving this game the way we do!  Visit GreatGameOrWhat.com to contact the show with your questions, quips and insights. Joy Pop Productions LLC

The crew dives headfirst into NFL Week One, where they call out everyone from Ravens' coach John Harbaugh for conservative play-calling to Giants' owner John Mara for the team's abysmal start. Week one overreactions were in full swing, with Rooster delivering an all-time tirade against the Giants, demanding (again) for the coach be fired and Wilson benched for Jackson Dart. The guys broke down the Eagles-Cowboys game in detail, with House talking about Dak Prescott's lack of mobility, CeeDee Lamb's drops, and the pre-game "Spitgate" incident that saw Jalen Carter ejected. Other notable discussions included surprising performances from the Packers and Chargers, disappointment in the Lions and Dolphins, and an early look at Aaron Rodgers' successful return.Sadly for Milk, the conversation shifted to college football, where Milk unleashes his own epic rant about the Florida Gators after their embarrassing loss to in-state rival South Florida. He calls for coach Billy Napier to be fired, lamenting that the program is stuck with him due to an $18 million buyout and faces a brutal upcoming schedule. Following football talk, the crew makes their weekly "Plaxico" (NFL) and "Menteer Matters" (NCAAF) betting picks for the upcoming weekend's slate of games.The episode wraps up with punches and lassos featuring the viral story of "Philly Karen," a fan who took a home run ball from a child, and the subsequent lasso for player Harrison Bader, who made it right by giving the kid an autographed bat. We talk about a couple "Buzzer Beaters," touching on major injuries plaguing the Phillies, the fallout of the WNBA season following Caitlin Clark's injury, and a recap of the US Open.Finally, they poured one out for two sports legends who recently passed away: longtime MLB player and manager Davey Johnson and iconic NHL goalie Ken Dryden.

RUNDOWN   Plenty of sports heartbreak — from the Dolphins' ongoing struggles to the Seahawks' gut-punch opener. But there is relief in the Mariners' explosive bats and the Huskies' video-game offense, before shifting gears to launch the annual Beat the Boys contest, presented by Fireside Home Solutions. Listeners get the scoop on how to re-register, this year's lineup of “the boys” (including a new addition, Jason Puckett), and the all-important first password. Along the way, the guys swap birthday trivia, share a Pink backstory you won't forget, and set the stage for a packed show of Seahawks, Mariners, and college football talk. Mitch and Hotshot dive into the Seahawks' frustrating Week 1 loss to the 49ers, where Sam Darnold's quiet debut and Riq Woolen's costly miscues overshadowed a defense that couldn't quite finish the job. They debate Mike Macdonald's decision to kick on a crucial 4th-and-1, the missing downfield threat without DK Metcalf, and whether Seattle's “smashmouth” identity is more talk than reality. Shifting gears, the guys celebrate the Mariners' offensive eruption — 28 runs over two games — that keeps them two games up in the Wild Card race with 19 left, 13 at home. Hope rises in Seattle, but fans have learned to brace for heartbreak. Mitch welcomes Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens to dissect Seattle's 17–13 Week 1 loss to the 49ers. The defense largely held its ground, limiting San Francisco to 17 points, but the offense sputtered behind Sam Darnold and a conservative game plan. The panel debates Mike Macdonald's critical fourth-down decision, the ongoing frustrations with cornerback Riq Woolen, and the lack of offensive balance despite Jackson Smith-Njigba's breakout. Mitch sits down with Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas to break down a much-needed rebound weekend for the Mariners. With Julio Rodríguez heating up, a rotation trying to steady itself, and 13 of the final 19 games at home, the M's are still firmly in the postseason race. The crew debates Seattle's playoff odds, the outlook for Jorge Polanco's contract, and the development of young catcher Harry Ford. Plus, they preview crucial upcoming series against the Cardinals and Angels as the AL West chase tightens. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to recap an eventful Week 2 in college football, from South Florida's upset of Florida to Oregon's early dominance behind quarterback Dante Moore. The two dive into Florida's coaching hot seat, Jedd Fisch's future at Washington, and why Arch Manning's mechanics and rhythm remain under scrutiny as Texas gears up for the SEC gauntlet. Neuheisel also hands out “Chicken Caesar soft tacos” to standout players and duos across the country before making his Week 3 pick: Texas Tech to roll big over Oregon State.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over-Slot Substack Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch & Hotshot Return: Seahawks Frustrations, Dolphins Woes, and Beat the Boys is Back 6:18 | BEAT THE BOYS, Presented by Fireside Home Solutions.

RIPs: Mark Volman of The Turtles (“Happy Together”), Davey Johnson the MLB player and manager best known for leading the 1986 Mets, Cowboys linebacker Lee Roy Jordan of the Doomsday Defense, beloved college basketball coach George Raveling who helped connect Michael Jordan with Nike, heavyweight boxer Joe Bugner who fought Ali and Frazier, Hall of Fame Canadiens goalie Ken Dryden with six Stanley Cups, and Tom Hostetter, a Pacific Northwest golf professional and father-in-law of listener Maddie. HEADLINES: an NHS surgeon who had his own legs removed to satisfy a fetish was jailed for insurance fraud, a foot model was run over after refusing a date's foot-smelling request, Senator John Kennedy claimed radioactive shrimp will turn you into an alien, and a man in Batman pajamas helped police stop a robbery (with Hotshot's “Boner Man” twist).

Karl Ravech and Buster hop on the Ravy Train in the absence of a Clown Car. The guys discuss the outrageous behavior of a Phillies fan in Miami, if losing Trea Turner is a fatal blow to Philadelphia's World Series chances, a wild ending in Baltimore to celebrate Cal Ripken Jr.'s 2131 game, the Yankees winning the most important series of the season so far, Aroldis Chapman's continued domination, and the passing of Davey Johnson. Then, Marquee Sports Network's Taylor McGregor talks about the Cubs heading into the postseason, the Brewers not playing bad games, what's up with Elly De La Cruz, and the AL MVP discussion that has lasted all season.

The WIP Morning Team honors two legends who passed away this weekend; Davey Johnson and Ken Dryden. They continue to talk about the NFL season and what they are looking forward to in the coming week. They listen to a Snapchat video of the baseball Phillies Karen incident and discuss if she was in the wrong. Should she have gone up to the man and tried to take the ball? They also introduce the Twitter poll question of the day, will her actions be held against the fans of Philadelphia? Joe DeCamara isn't sure. The team finally introduces the side topic question of the day: what is the best non-political and controversial decision that happened.

On this week's episode, we power rank each of the twelve current playoff teams based on the strength of their lineups, pitching rotations, bullpens, and coaching staff. From there, we pay tribute to Davey Johnson and discuss his candidacy for the Hall of Fame after a long, distinguished career in baseball. To wrap up, we discuss Ha Song Kim and Walker Buehler's new homes, and Trea Turner's hamstring injury, and whether or not we think when all is said and done he will find himself enshrined in Cooperstown.

On a jam-packed episode, Greg Prince remembers Davey Johnson (3:20). We find solace in the last two losses while looking ahead to the next series with Rich Glass, a Phillies fan (no, he won't try to take the ball from you) (20:10). Join us! #Mets #LGM

On deck: (6:32) It's time to overreact to what took place over the course of NFL Week 1. Are the Bills the class of the AFC? Is Aaron Rodgers turning back the clock? Have the Chiefs plight begun? How bad was the Ravens collapse in Buffalo last night? I'll answer all of that and then some as I'll recap the opening weekend. CORRECTION: I stated that the Falcons got out to a 10-0 lead in their game vs. Tampa Bay. That was not the case. I was wrong on that. My apologies for the blatant error. (31:08) Was there baseball played over the weekend? Of course there was, but you couldn't tell by the AL Wild Card race as it's literally status quo from the last time we saw it late last week. I'll also touch on the death of former Mets manager Davey Johnson who passed away at the age of 82. (42:22) College football had a couple of surprising upsets on Saturday, but it was Oklahoma QB John Mateer stealing the show from the Michigan as they topped the Wolverines in Norman, OK. (45:01) Carlos Alcaraz captures the rubber match of Grand Slam finals from rival, Jannik Sinner in 2025, and claiming the #1 men's player in the world after a convincing four set win. Aryna Sabalenka wins the women's side after coming close at the French Open and Wimbledon. (51:21) Sadly, another passing took place in sports as former Montreal Canadien and all time great goaltender, Ken Dryden dies at 78. And MUCH MORE in between.

In a somber moment, BT and Sal pay tribute to the passing of former Mets manager Davey Johnson. While acknowledging the sadness of the news, the conversation turns into a lively and authentic celebration of Johnson's legacy. Sal, who once interviewed Johnson, shares a personal and hilarious anecdote about the legendary manager, highlighting his no-nonsense, old-school personality. They discuss Johnson's unique ability to handle the "three-ring circus" of the 1986 Mets, his pioneering use of analytics, and his status as the last manager to bring a championship to Queens. The segment is a fiery and heartfelt farewell to a true New York baseball icon.

Sal and BT opened the show by eviscerating the Giants for their abysmal Week 1 performance against the Commanders, calling it a predictable and unwatchable display of offensive ineptitude that puts Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen squarely on the hot seat. The hosts contrasted this with the Jets' "tough but great" loss, highlighting the team's improved discipline and a promising showing from Justin Fields. The conversation also touched on other NFL games, a tribute to the late Davey Johnson, and a fiery rant about Brian Daboll's post-game press conference where he confirmed Russell Wilson as the Week 2 starter, which Sal and BT viewed as another sign of the team's stubborn and delusional leadership.

BT and Sal tear into the New York football scene, lamenting the Giants' continued offensive struggles under Brian Daboll, which are so predictable they're compared to "eating the same meal." Sal argues the Giants' problems are a culmination of years of issues, while BT points out that Daboll's success with Saquon Barkley didn't transfer, and the team's offense is historically bad. They shift to the Jets, who despite a loss, showed significant progress, playing a "clean" game with a surprisingly effective Justin Fields. They also address the Giants' bizarre decision to prevent their own quarterback, Jaxson Dart, from speaking to the media, calling it a desperate move to control the narrative. The show ends on a somber note, paying tribute to legendary Mets manager Davey Johnson, who passed away at 82, and reflecting on his legacy.

It was quite a Saturday in Birdland. The day began with news of the death of Orioles player and manager Davey Johnson and ended with a near no-hitter and an old-school "Magic" win over the Dodgers in the aftermath of a massive 30th Anniversary celebration of Cal Ripken and 2131. Our Allen McCallum was at Camden Yards on Saturday night and was the WNST clubhouse reporter in 1996 and 1997 when Davey led rare winning teams during the Angelos era. This is a deep dive on Orioles lore and history. The post Allen McCallum and Nestor discuss the legend of Cal Ripken, 2131, Davey Johnson and Orioles Magic on Saturday night at Camden Yards first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

In this episode of Amazin' Conversations with Jay Horwitz, we revisit one of the greatest hoaxes in sports history: the curious case of Sidd Finch. Jay is joined by Joe Berton — the man who became Sidd Finch — to reflect on the unforgettable 1985 Sports Illustrated April Fools' story that convinced the baseball world a barefoot, French horn-playing pitcher could throw 168 mph. Joe shares never-before-heard stories from spring training, behind-the-scenes shenanigans, and what it was like to live the legend. Whether you were there in '85 or just hearing about Sidd for the first time, this is a Mets moment you won't want to miss.

Join host Erik Sherman as he welcomes baseball legend Davey Johnson for an intimate conversation about his remarkable journey through America's pastime. You'll hear firsthand accounts of Johnson's championship years with the Orioles, his record-setting 43 home runs as a second baseman, and the unforgettable 1986 Mets World Series victory. With candid stories about playing alongside greats like Hank Aaron and Brooks Robinson, plus insights into his successful managerial philosophy, this episode offers you a delightful glimpse into baseball history through the eyes of one of its most colorful and accomplished figures.

On November 5, 1936 — The Dodgers name Burleigh Grimes as their new manager. The former Brooklyn spitballer will be replacing Casey Stengel, who was fired last month during the World Series after compiling a 208-251 (.453) record during his four-year tenure. The Dodgers for a short period will be paying 3 managers, Max Carey, Grimes and Stengel. Grimes will last two seasons and win only 131 games and lose 171.On November 5, 1997 – In an unprecedented move, Davey Johnson resigns the same day he is named American League Manager of the Year. Despite the fact that Johnson ended the Baltimore Orioles' 13-year playoff drought in 1996 and led the Orioles to the league's best record in 1997 (98-64), a dispute over $10,500 in fines to second baseman Roberto Alomar ends Johnson's reign in Baltimore. Johnson directed the fines to be paid to a charity. Orioles owner Peter Angelos is upset with the way the matter is handled and Johnson resigns.On November 5, 2010 — One of the approximately 60 rare T206 Honus Wagner baseball cards, auctioned off by the Baltimore-based School Sisters of Notre Dame, is acquired by a sporting card store owner Doug Walton, who pays $262,000 for the treasured piece of memorabilia. The School Sisters of Notre Dame plan to use the windfall from the sale of the valuable card of the Pirates' third baseman to benefit ministries for the poor in 35 countries.Born November 5, Selected by the Toronto Blue Jays as the second player overall in the 1978 free agent draft, Lloyd Moseby was rushed to the majors by the talent-hungry Blue Jays faster than the development of his potential would have ordinarily warranted. A talented center fielder, he combined with Jesse Barfield and George Bell to form what was sometimes called the best outfield in baseball in the late 1980s.In 1983 Moseby became the first Blue Jay to score 100 runs in a season, and tied teammate Damaso Garcia for a team-record (and league-leading) 21-game hitting streak. The following season, he tied with teammate Dave Collins for the AL lead in triples, and was a consistent run-producer and stolen base threat for the mid-80s Jays. By the end of the decade, the “best outfield” was being dismantled. Barfield was traded to the Yankees, and emerging prospect Junior Felix was gradually pushing Moseby out of center. When Moseby signed with the Detroit Tigers in December 1989, he left Toronto as the Blue Jays' career leader in games, at-bats, runs, hits, doubles, total bases, extra-base hits, stolen bases, strikeouts, being hit by the pitch, and sacrifice flies.

September 19, 1968 – Detroit Tigers Pitcher Denny McLain's 31st win is overshadowed by Mickey Mantle's 535th homer which was good enough for 3rd on the all time list. McLain called Catcher Jim Price to the mound to have him inform Mantle he'd be seeing nothing but fastballs and Mantle delivered. Mantle tipped his cap to Denny as he rounded third base. Joe Pepitone, the next batter, signaled where he would like the ball, and McLain dusted him. The Tigers won the game, 6 - 2, the 12th straight complete game for the Tigers staff.September 19, 1970 Boston's Billy Conigliaro connects for a 4th inning home run off the Senators Jim Hannan, and in the 7th frame, brother Tony Conigliaro wallops a solo shot. The brothers also homered in the same game on July 4. Billy will end the year with 18 home runs, while Tony will connect for 36.September 19, 1973 The Brave's' Davey Johnson hits his 43rd homer, 42nd as a second baseman tying Rogers Hornsby's record for the most home runs for a second baseman.September 19, 1983 Phillies 2B Joe Morgan celebrates his 40th birthday by going 4 for 5 with two home runs in a 7 - 6 win over the Cubs.

Jay and Sid discuss this as well as many other topics in an especially great conversation. Sid also talks about his memory of Sandy Koufax visiting the Dodgers at Spring Training, pitching behind Doc Gooden, playing with Darryl Strawberry, and being managed by Davey Johnson.

1977 NLCS Meeting up for the first of two consecutive NLCS battles in 1977 and 1978, the Philadelphia Phillies (101-61) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (98-64) face off with games one and two at Dodger Stadium, and the final three (if necessary) at Veterans Stadium in Philly. The Phillies captured their second of three consecutive NL East titles behind the stewardship of Danny Ozark. The Fightin's had the best lineup in the NL, and they were stacked at nearly every position. Michael Jack Schmidt was his typical outstanding self (38 HR 101 RBI .274/.393/.574 151 OPS+), but it was Greg ‘the Bull' Luzinski (39 HR 130 RBI .309/.394/.594 156 OPS+) who finished runner-up in MVP voting. The mid-season trade for former Cardinals OF Bake McBride bolstered are already strong outfield core with Garry Maddox and the Bull. Larry Bowa and Bob Boone provided excellent defense and timely hits, while platoon hitters like Jay Johnstone, Tim McCarver, and Davey Johnson crushed their opportunities. ‘Lefty' Steve Carlton picked up his second career Cy Young by leading the NL in wins, but the rest of the rotation left a lot to be desired. These Phillies were able to win over a 100 games because Danny Ozark could turn to a dominant bullpen, with 4 guys (Gene Garber, Ron Reed, Tug McGraw, and Warren Brusstar) sporting ERAs in the 2s. With a high-powered offense, a true ace, and a lights-out bullpen, this is a modern team to be reckoned with. In his first full year as manager of the Dodgers, Tommy Lasorda led this storied franchise back to the playoffs. His lineup packs a punch to rival the Phillies, with four 30+ home run hitters (Steve Garvey, Ron Cey, Dusty Baker, and Reggie Smith). The corner infielders (Garvey and Cey) both drove in 110+ runs, while the corner outfielders (Baker and Smith) provided more in on-base and slugging, with Smith leading the NL in OPS+ and finishing fourth in MVP voting. Where the Dodgers had the greatest edge over the league was with their pitching staff, who collectively had a 3.22 ERA, 20% better than league average. All 5 of their starters pitched over 200 innings with above average ERAs and double digit wins. Tommy John led the way with 20 wins and a 2.78 ERA. The bullpen was not as reliable as Philadelphia's, but that is partially because they weren't relied on as frequently. The pitching matchups will be as follows: Game 1 @ LAD - LHP Tommy John (20 - 7 2.78 ERA 220 IP) vs. LHP Steve Carlton (23 - 10 2.64 ERA 283 IP) Game 2 @ LAD - RHP Don Sutton (14 - 8 3.18 ERA 240 IP) vs. Jim Lonborg (11 - 4 4.11 ERA 157 IP) Game 3 @ PHI - RHP Larry Christenson (19 - 6 4.06 ERA 219 IP) vs. Burt Hooton (12 - 7 2.62 ERA 223 IP) Game 4 @ PHI - LHP Steve Carlton vs. LHP Tommy John Audio clips from Youtube linked below Game 1 - Vin Scully on KTTV Game 2 - Russ Porter and Jerry Doggett on KTTV Game 3 - Harry Kalas, Richie Ashburn, and Andy Musser on WPHL-TV Game 4 - Dick Enberg and Don Drysdale on NBC (plus Kalas on WPHL-TV) As always, shout out to Baseball Reference and SABR for statistics, boxscores, background information, and much, much more.
