dumbdumb Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 well here are the fill in's from the 2022 season per a previous CCS post with games worked per retrosheet. Maybe a guess of Riggs, Merzel, Wills if we go by seniority and all have about 350+ fill in games under their belt. So, no telling which one probably has the known Nelson spot right now, or maybe some of the guys who now have 250 or so games under their belt have the new job or jobs. who knows. But Wills did work 143 games (now that stats are in on retrosheet) in 2023 and no one working over 140 fill in games in a season, has not made full time MLBU at some point in more recent times. Nate Tomlinson also worked 148 games this year bringing his career total to 254 games and once again, no umpire working 140 games or more in a season as a fill in has failed to become a MLBU at some point in more recent times. In bold are the, new MLBU, hired full time in 2023. In more recent times since 2010 on, Dan Bellino became full time after only 144 fill in games, David Rackley 170, Malachi Moore 156 and for those who may not remember Chris Guccione worked 1255 games (2000-2008) as a fill in before getting the call, so he is basically a 22-23 year MLB veteran although the record does not fully count the fill in time which started at 106 games his first year, and Rob Drake the same with 1218 fill in games (1999-2009) so basically a 22-23 year veteran. and hoye, who started fill in during 2003 season and worked 734 fill in games is basically a 20 year veteran MLBU although fill in credit does not fully count or only counts towards a maximum of 2 years credit for fill in games worked. Nick Mahrley: 426, Shane Livensparger: 382, Edwin Moscoso: 332, Adam Beck: 253, Nestor Ceja: 253, Junior Valentine: 235, Eric Bacchus 234, Brennan Miller 195, Alex Tosi: 191, Malachi Moore: 156 Jeremy Riggs: 278 + (97 in 2023) = 375 Ryan Wills: 263 + 143 = 406 Dan Merzel: 251 + 126 = 377 John Bacon: 171 + 46 = 217 Charlie Ramos: 144 + 124 = 268 Clint Vondrak: 144 + 132 = 276 Jose Navas: 164 + 23 = 187 Nate Tomlinson: 106 + 148 = 254 Paul Clemons: 93 + 45 = 138 Alex MacKay: 51 + 82 = 133 Randy Rosenberg 59 + 12 = 71 David Arrieta: 58 + 17 = 75 Brock Ballou: 30 + 71 = 101 Lew Williams 37 + 5 = 42 all above have had 2023 games added now from retrosheet 2023 new 2023 below per retrosheet 2023: Tom Hanahan = 72 Edwin Jimenez = 79 Emil Jimenez = 114 Jacob Metz = 52 Derek Thomas = 85 Brian Walsh = 71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
