Talk:Buck Martinez

Pitching in relief

In the midst of an 18-8 loss to Kansas City on Wednesday, August 29, 1979, the Milwaukee Brewers made several position changes, willingly losing their DH in the process. Amongst other moves, 3B Sal Bando was moved to pitcher in the 4th inning -- he hurled three innings, going to bat in the fifth as a pitcher and popping up. In the 7th, Bando and 2B Jim Gantner switched positions, though while a pitcher Gantner never made it to the plate as a batter. The next inning, Buck Martinez (normally a catcher) entered the game as the Brewers sixth pitcher of the day. As a pitcher, Martinez batted in the 9th, stroking an RBI single. For each of Bando, Gantner and Martinez, all of whom played in over 1,000 ML games, this game was their lone appearance in the majors as a pitcher.[10] [1] --Daysleeper47 (talk) 01:48, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Introduction

Does the introduction need to be so long and detailed? Everything there is already included in the body, where it belongs. It seems kind of repetitious. How about shortening the introduction and keeping only the most important?--rkehler3 (talk) 02:48, 05 January 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.4.69.90 (talk)

Why no mention or category for Mexican American? No mention of his heritage at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.207.116.55 (talk) 21:04, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

The article's categories include Americans of Spanish Descent and Americans of Basque Descent, but with no references for either in the article. He's also not listed in the List Of page for either Mexican Americans or Spanish Americans. If his ancestry can't be sourced, those category references should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.194.171.118 (talk) 03:50, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
