    J4L19 back from the dead.

    Yeah I wasn't as surprised at the low K/9 values, but more that he also walked so many. If you can't strike people out and give up over a hit per inning - you simply can't walk over 4 per 9 innings.

    haha - that's hilarious. I never put that together. I know Stieb didn't strikeout a lot (I was going to poise the question as to why, but I self concluded it's a combination of the hitters approach, the 'pitch to contact' approach and reduced velocity), but Stieb was VERY hard to hit and his WHIP was consistently in the 1.10 to 1.20 range. That range for good to great hitter hasn't changed much in the past 40 years (perhaps longer, I couldn't be bothered to look back).

    I'm sure he 'played the game the right way' and had all kinds of other attributes that voters thought actually mattered back in the day. It's just difficult to fathom a time when a WHIP of 1.5 and a BB/K ratio of 1:1 kept you in the rotation....or even in the major leagues - let alone won you the Cy Young award. Yesterday I was watching the 1981 Edmonton Oilers game where Wayne scores 5 goals to get 50 goals in 39 games. After watching about 10 minutes of it, I couldn't help but come away thinking that hockey in 1981 was f***ING AWFUL and that I no longer consider Wayne Gretzky to be the best player ever to play the game. I fully imagine I'd come away with the same opinion if I watched Pete Vuckovich pitch in 1981.

    How the f*** did Pete Vuckovich win the Cy Young with a WHIP of 1.5 and a BB/K ratio of 1:1???

    BlueRocky - your posts are a ray of sunshine during the current shitnado. That's a cool story. Veen seems like a true gamer. I LOVE this side of baseball.

    That's a beautiful swing.

    MLB commissioner Rob Manfred told ESPN's Scott Van Pelt that the investigation involving the Red Sox is complete. In a televised interview with Van Pelt, Manfred went over a plethora of issues, and the conversation finished with the allegations of sign-stealing by the Red Sox. Manfred told the ESPN anchor that the investigation is finished, and that there just hasn't been time for the commissioner to file a written report. He did, however, say that there will be something from the MLB office before the start of the regular season. As to when he expects the 2020 season to begin, Manfred mentioned that he was "optimistic" that things could get ramped up again by the middle of May but was non-committal on any firm date. He also said that they will "probably not" be able to play a full 162-game campaign and noted that they will need to be "creative" with the scheduling in both the regular season and postseason while not dismissing the possibility of playing seven-inning doubleheaders.

    Yeah I'd definitely prefer to add another positional player than another arm.

    According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Major League Baseball has agreed with the MLBPA to grant a full year of service time to players in 2020 regardless of how many games the schedule includes. Rosenthal adds, however, that the two sides "have agreed to table discussions on how much service time the players would receive" if the worst-case scenario plays out and the 2020 season has to be canceled entirely.

    f*** those guys.

    I'm pretty sure he continues to confuse 'case mortality rate' and 'global mortality rate'...

    C'mon Boxy - even a broken clock is right twice a day.
  14. Brownie19
    This list is also missing Fever Pitch.
  15. Brownie19
    I really agree with that list - except For Love of the Game is wayyyy too low for my liking.
  16. Brownie19
    Simulate a video baseball game to replicate the numbers. I saw people were doing this for March Madness.
  17. Brownie19
    I love Moneyball - it's on my list of movies I watch almost every time I see it on TV.

    Sorry - I'm that guy. Did you see the trade? Hopkins and a 4th for David Johnson and a 2nd Bills land Diggs and have to give up significantly more. Terrific Tom isn't returning to the Pats.
  19. Brownie19
    Here's an idea - move this to the OT Coronavirus thread.

    Holy f*** Jim - calm down

    I read the spanish flu killed about 10% of the infected people. Covid 19 isn't anywhere close to that yet. I also read the heat does kill it (26-27 degrees Celsius). But my s*** is from Facebook so who the f*** knows. Regardless - why the f*** are you insulting people?

    Apparently we took a close look at Matt Harvey... Jon Heyman reported on this week’s Big Time Baseball podcast that Matt Harvey worked out for the Blue Jays "several weeks" back. Heyman says that the Jays "seriously" considered signing Harvey but ultimately decided against it. This is the first we've heard of any interest in Harvey this offseason. He posted a 7.09 ERA for the Angels last season before being released midseason.

    and Netflix...and porn.
