Normally, GMs share amazing feats that happen to their teams with the entire league. That is also usually something good for their team. However, it is instructive to understand that if some of us wait for a moment like that, we will never share anything. The opening game of the Seals at Leopards series on May 13th had Danny MacFaydon cruising along with an 8-3 lead after 5 innings. The Seals chipped away at that lead with a run in the 6th and 2 in the 7th. After reliever Robertson held the Seals scoreless in the 8th, Ernie Nevers was called upon to close it out (LOL!) Three hits, 2 walks and THREE infield errors later, the Seals had a 12-8 win, scoring 6 unearned runs. So, big deal – the Leopards’ Arson Squad makes it a habit of losing games. That’s not the “amazin’” part. The Seals committed 3 errors, and the Leopards chipped in with SEVEN errors. Both of the Waner brothers played, and both made errors. The 3 errors the Seals committed led to no unearned runs. The Seals’ errors led to 8 unearned runs, bringing their season total to 40 unearned runs in 31 games. 5/13/1927, SFS27-EKL27, Comiskey Park 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 1927 Seals 2 0 1 0 0 1 2 0 6 12 12 3 7 2 1927 Leopards 0 4 2 1 1 0 0 0 0 8 14 7 8 1 Seals AB R H BI AVG Leopards AB R H BI AVG Combs cf 6 3 2 0 .368 Blue 1b 4 0 1 0 .304 Sewell,J ss 3 3 2 1 .268 Kamm 3b 3 1 1 0 .266 Waner,P rf 4 1 1 2 .327 Reeves ph 2 0 0 0 .351 Fothergill lf 4 1 1 2 .363 Waner,L cf 3 0 1 1 .350 Hendrick 1b 4 1 1 0 .254 Rice ph 2 0 1 0 .239 Elliott p 0 0 0 0 .000 French rf 5 1 1 0 .286 Scott ph 1 0 1 2 .391 Gehringer 2b 4 2 3 1 .260 Decatur p 0 0 0 0 .000 Thomas,H ph 0 0 0 0 .000 McCurdy c 4 1 0 2 .243 Christensn lf 5 1 1 0 .263 Adams 2b 4 0 1 0 .319 Boley ss 3 1 2 2 .310 Lutzke 3b 5 0 1 0 .319 Zitzmann ss 1 0 0 0 .286 Pennock p 1 0 0 0 .063 DeBerry c 3 1 2 1 .267 Keen p 1 0 0 0 .000 Jamieson ph 1 0 0 0 .273 Orsatti ph 1 1 1 0 .444 Robertson p 0 0 0 0 .000 Burrus 1b 2 1 1 1 .308 Nevers p 0 0 0 0 .000 40 12 12 10 MacFayden p 3 1 1 3 .222 Burns ph 1 0 0 0 .205 Gonzalez c 0 0 0 0 .444 40 8 14 8 Seals INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Pennock 3.2 9 7 7 1 1 59 38 3.09 Keen 2.1 4 1 1 0 1 50 32 7.56 Elliott W 3-1 2.0 1 0 0 0 3 28 16 2.17 Decatur 1.0 0 0 0 1 0 18 7 0.00 9.0 14 8 8 2 5 155 93 Leopards INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA MacFayden 7.0 9 6 4 1 1 104 67 7.09 Robertson H 1 1.0 0 0 0 0 1 12 9 5.14 Nevers BS 1, L 0-2 1.0 3 6 0 2 0 34 19 4.05 9.0 12 12 4 3 2 150 95 SFS: Orsatti batted for Keen in the 7th Burrus inserted at 1b in the 7th Scott batted for Elliott in the 9th EKL: Reeves batted for Kamm in the 6th Rice batted for Waner,L in the 6th Reeves moved to 3b in the 7th Rice moved to rf in the 7th French moved to cf in the 7th Zitzmann inserted at ss in the 7th Jamieson batted for DeBerry in the 7th Burns batted for MacFayden in the 7th Gonzalez inserted at c in the 8th Thomas,H batted for Gehringer in the 9th E-Sewell,J, Waner,P, Burrus, Blue, Waner,L, Gehringer, Christensn, MacFayden, Reeves, Zitzmann. 2B-Combs(10), Orsatti(1), Blue(3), Waner,L(3), Gehringer 2(4). 3B-Hendrick(4).
