Dolfan in NYC Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Pete Alonso smashed another one today for #49. He's got about 10 days to get 4 more for the rookie HR record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grilledcheese Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Fuck yeah, there aren't nearly enough lifetime .240 hitters in Cooperstown. I kid, obviously. But that is one of the things I think is so cool about baseball is that a guy that plays only a handful of years in the Bigs and at a rather pedestrian level can be such an integral part of the game in a different facet and work his way into the HOF. No goddamn different that Lasorda in that manner, only Bochy made the Bigs and stuck, whereas Tommy had only a brief MLB career, but was a king at AAA. Fuck him because he's a Giant, but he's a hell of a manager. Edited September 19, 2019 by grilledcheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyWhioux Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Bochy is also Hall Of Fame worthy for his Rick Rude-level mustache in 1984, which you can see show up at the very end of this footage of Baseball's most infamous brawl (keep an eye out for #15 in brown) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) It's weird seeing footage from that era look so pristine. Beautiful. You can really see how 1984 Joe Torre looks exactly like 2019 Joe Torre. Neat to see the best manager of two different stretches in the same brawl like that. edit: holy shit, Ed Whitson in that clip shirtless and wild-eyed. Hilarious.

grilledcheese Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Sweet fucking christ. The first punch that Bevaqua throws is so half-hearted and shitty, but it landed. On the back of Padres bench coach Harry Dunlop!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Gerrit Cole becomes the 18th different pitcher (modern era) to throw 300 strikeouts in a season Depending on how many more starts he gets this season - Justin Verlander could become the 19th (He is at 283 right now. His career high is 290 from last year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grilledcheese Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Career-high is 15, done this year against MIL. He's sitting on a 12.0 K/9 currently, so if he gets two more, it's a pretty good shot that he'll do it. HOU has 11 left on the schedule and he goes on Sunday, so I figure he's going to get real fucking close even if he doesn't make 300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Kimbrel has sucked this year and what does Maddon do? In Kimbrel's first game back Maddon puts him in about as high leverage of a situation as possible. And he gave up a dong. I wasn't surprised.

hammerva Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Well apparently we found that one thing that the Cubs and Cardinals fan can agree in outrage and disgust.

Guest The Magnificent 7 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 What was the outrage about? The presence of the guy or the titles thing? If the first, they do this thing all the time with Hollywood actors. The Indy 500 had Christian Bale and Matt Damon on in the pre race flogging their new Ford GT movie and then waving the checkered flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
