All I know is the team used to be able to hit before they hired Don Mattingley and I’m not going to look up any stats to back that up

26 years ago today was the greatest game ever pitched....the 20 strikeout game. May 6, 1998 at Wrigley Field. I'll die on that hill. Come at me, bro.  https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN199805060.shtml

It's still the number one game score for a 9-inning game of all time. Better than any no-hitter or perfect game ever pitched. I remember coming home from school and watching the end of it.

Trucker Hat posted:It's so awful. The pitching is mostly fine, there's just no room for error. But also, there's proof in all this that trading dudes who mash dingers for controllable relievers is fuckin dumb as hell cause they all inevitably explode ala Swanson. Vogelbach sucks and guaranteeing him money was stupid, but I don't think Votto is even playing baseball yet. Atkins sucks because he is not someone shooting for the stars, his entire plan is to build a high floor that maybe gets lucky if everything breaks right and its cynical and boring and oh shockingly doesn't work cause its hard to maintain that floor when you refuse to take chances.

I was only a teenager but I still remember watching him throw those Bugs Bunny 93MPH slurves and thinking "this guy's elbow is going to explode into 50 fragments one day soon". I also remember everyone raving about Mark Prior's picture-perfect delivery and speculating on how he'd dominate for 20 years and never get hurt. Important lesson for every young baseball fan to learn: pitching is voodoo, and the pitching gods are trickster gods.

Yeah just because you have perfect pitching mechanics does not make you any less injury-prone than any other major league pitcher

LIke Mike Maddux. My running joke with my father was that any time Maddux went out to the mound, he was telling the pitcher which family member he would never see again if he didn't get the out.
