Randy Johnson had a couple years like that…but Clemens was on top of his game

He was really dominant. I forgot he played for them and had to look up his stats. That is probably his best two year stretch. You could argue 86 and 87 but different hitters in the 80s. Although in '87 he threw 18 complete games and 7 shut outs which would be unbelievable now.

That wasn't amazing to me. It's the Pirates. What the fuck was the 1st baseman doing? Don't run at Baez then clearly see the guy running home and do a soft toss way too late. How embarrassing.

That was awful and it happened with two outs tag the bag boom.

I miss the days of when your starter would go 7 or 8 with a complete game not being all that uncommon. Now it's 5 or 6 innings from your starter and then it's a game of bullpen roulette hoping you can just hold on.

I have always loved Jack Morris think he probably be in the HOF. To this day that game 7 1991 is the single greatest World Series pitching I have witnessed. Going way beyond starter expectations when starter expectations were high.

Rob Manfred should be fired. He’s been an embarrassment and especially terrible this year. Instead of focusing on real issues he’s doing sideshows bullshit

mooby · 06-23-2021, 08:23 AM

Idk about fired but they took a non-starter and made it a hot button issue with the substances. The old system was fine, only eject a guy if they made it so obvious. If the hitters as a majority don't have a problem with it neither do I.

MTK · 06-23-2021, 09:39 AM

Just give the balls some natural grip so pitchers don't need other substances. I just find it funny batters can load up on pine tar for grip but pitchers can't do anything to help theirs.

Chico23231 · 06-23-2021, 03:15 PM

The fact Manfred is doing this mid season and allowing this drama we saw last night…he’s a clown unfit to lead.

He can’t really address baseball big issues, he pulls this shit? GTFO…I’m bout done with MLB, I’m watching much much less

Innocent until proven guilty. Huge baseball news regardless (Trevor Bauer).

Brian Snitker is to managing baseball as Snyder is to owning a NFL team.

Such a fucking bum.

Add - We don't have a Tour de France thread, and I'm not starting one. But that girl with the sign, fucked so many riders. WTF is wrong with people? What a selfish asshole.

Just enjoying the ride with Schwarbs while we can, when he's being consistently great like this it's fun to watch.

Don't want to hijack this thread but the Trevor Bauer allegations are seriously disturbing.

Not going to jump to any conclusions but if they are true he deserves to be in jail for the considerable future. I have no respect for sexual assault or rapists.

I mean a reliever hitting a grand slam of Scherzer is pretty cool I guess but I amore impressed with the number of people watching a professional sport in San Diego!

I thought with the exception of our very own SDSkinsfan that the denizens of southern California were unaware that professional sports even existed. I always thought the beach was too close, the mountains too near, the women too beautiful to pay attention to such trivial things but clearly I am wrong
