In an effort to have a little fun with the Coop Scoop blog, I am producing a (somewhat) daily trivia quiz called "Mud Hen Mindbender." No prize; this is just a way to get your day moving. Ready? Here we go ...
Danny Worth had five RBIs against Louisville on Tuesday, and Argenis Diaz had four RBIs versus the Bats on Monday. When was the last time a Mud Hen had at least five RBIs in a game this season?
The answer to Monday’s question? With Sunday’s loss to Louisville, the Mud Hens had the worst record in the International League. (As you may have noticed, the Hens promptly won twice in a row to push Louisville back into the basement). What was the last season the Hens had the IL’s worst record? It wasn’t that long ago … in 2004 the Hens finished the season 6-26 to post a 65-78 record that was one-half game worse than Indianapolis, Syracuse and Ottawa, and the worst record in the league. Click here for more info on Toledo teams with the IL's worst record.
Do you think you know the answer to today’s question? Click on the "comments" link below and give us your answer! I'll post the answer tomorrow along with another trivia question. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Brad Eldred?

Phil: Well, I asked for the "when" not the "who," but I must admit that this was the trick I was hoping for.
Here's my hint: There has been a game where a Hen got "at least" five RBIs since Brad Eldred left.
Actually, that's TWO hints, isn't it?

Wow, I certainly get an F for reading comprehension today. My guess on WHEN is some game just before the All Star break when the Hens won a game by a crooked margin. I can't remember the exact date or score, but it surprised me when I was glancing through the scores because the offense had been struggling.

Phil: Again, that's the reaction I was hoping for.
And here's another hint: That is incorrect. It's fairly recent, actually ...

And if it's easier to guess the WHO rather than the WHEN, be my guest ...

John Lindsey had 6 vs Columbus on July 25.

Bingo! Well done, Pepper.
Well, except now I have to do more work and fire up another Mud Hens Mindbender for Thursday!
