Armitage posted:That second inning he just had seems to suggest that he's a long, long way off from being the Matt Harvey of old, if he's even capable of being that anymore. Harvey was adequate overall, but Conforto was the star if the show and if you haven't written him into your All-Star ballot, then we can't be friends.

R.D. Mangles posted:don't want to alarm anyone in this thread, but a cubs starter made it past the seventh inning for the first time this season 99-pitch complete-game 4-hitter for Lester. Too bad 3 of those hits happened in the same inning and he didn't get the shutout. 2:05 game time. Must be because of the new intentional walk rule.

patonthebach posted:I was pretty impressed with his public apology, it does seem to be pretty genuine and one of the better ones I've heard from an athlete. Hopefully he gets a chance to do some good for a gay charity or maybe join up in the pride parade or something this year. Pretty sure I saw he agreed to do some spokesmanship for the charity his pay went to N: Jays win, wheeeee V: I am liking Joey Bagels as a starter if he can get his endurance up a bit more. Only reason he didn't get the W is he got into his highest pitch count of the season and ran out of steam, he otherwise threw a pretty good start

I've never watched it but it seems if it was just about technical dance ability that show would be boring as hell.

Paul Zuvella posted:Kershaw is arguable having the best pitcher career through 10 seasons ever. Realistically he'll only get there if he remains healthy and productive into his late 30's. Steve Carlton is a good comp in this regard. He also debuted at age 20, and through his age 29 season had 133 Wins. He reached 300 in his age 38 season, but he also had 6 seasons of 20+ wins including one with 27, which Kershaw is unlikely to get. bawfuls fucked around with this message at 15:39 on May 24, 2017 |

Koufax had a hosed up early career development because he was a "bonus baby." In that era, if a guy got a large enough signing bonus he had to be on the major league roster not stashed in the minors, so Koufax was forced to develop in the majors starting at 19. It took him until age 25 before he figured out how to not walk everyone. He literally never threw a single minor league pitch. It was a real dumb rule which was abolished in 1965. bawfuls fucked around with this message at 15:56 on May 24, 2017 |
