Brian Tallet Retires (He deserves his own thread)

[wilko]

I remember it fondly. Road game in Baltimore just after the Rasmus trade. Wakamatsu filling in for Farrell. Save situation in extras with like 4 better arms available. Obviously Wak goes to Tallet to shut it down. Tallet proceeds to gas-can the game in epic fashion. After the game, he makes the "balls to the wall" comment, gets DFA'd after his glorious 1-game return, and would never throw another major league pitch.

 

Poor Bryant.

[G-Snarls]

Good thing he never pitched for Mr.Burns or he'd be told to shave his damn sideburns.

 

Hahahaha

 

Dammit Mattingly!

Bernadette Tallet's obituary on MLBTR ends with the line "He was known for sporting quality facial hair."

 

Well put, MLBTR.

You were an original, Balthazar.

 

That last game was classic. Thanks for the memories, BTS.

Hah, you remember it fondly? I was there lol. There was a sense of "TALLET? WE GOT THIS IN THE BAG" from Orioles fans. Jays fans were like "uh... s***." I think Kevin f***ing Gregg pitched in that game for the O's, too. Tallet gave up a walk off double to Ryan Flaherty, I think.

If that was Tallet, he would have said "Still like him better than Cito." at the end.
