Atlanta Braves III

[zjcvols]

Just saw that. I'm kind of pulling for the old guy.

She's 34. He's got a chance.

 

[005]

Showed up just in time for some "just because, dude" Harper bashing. It's like the bat symbol.

 

[GAVol]

Well yeah, he did win the roy that year. But he had already been in the league for a couple of years

Actually, he famously did not win ROY.

 

[zjcvols]

WTF is Cheers?

jk...sorta...

 

[zjcvols]

Hideo Nomo.

Scary part? Didn't even have to look that up.

oh he didnt? my mistake. Thought i saw somewhere that he did

edit: read it wrong lol

Nope. Nomo through a no hitter and was I believe the very first Japanese pitcher to come to the MLB. Had a good enough season and good media hype (LA market) where he famously won it over Chipper, although Chipper had a good season also.

Yeah thanks, saw it after I really looked into it. Guess I was a little biased

And ofc that's the goal, its different in winning one and saying you're going to win one

Lots of players say they want to win rings....

I didn't realize Nomo had such a great rookie year.

4.9 WAR
11.1 K/9
2.89 FIP
2.54 ERA
191.1 IP

Pretty damn good.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Whatever. Cheers was and still is awesome. I suppose you liked The Cosby Show better?

I have pretty much hated all sitcoms ever since I first figured out the basic formula back in the 70s, probably while watching the original version of Three's Company. I was aware of most of the popular shows and characters from the 80s by cultural osmosis, but I never watched more than a handful of shows' worth of any of them.

I don't necessarily disagree that Cheers was the best of them, btw. That doesn't mean it didn't still suck.

 

[005]

Oh yeah. He was rollin. That is as good as Kershaw has been this season, according to WAR.

That same year Randy Johnson went 9.5 WAR hahahaha.

Randy Johnson is one of the best five best non-dead ball era pitchers ever IMO.

 

[005]

Easy. Johnson, Pedro, Maddux, Clemens

Cheers did not suck. Moving on...

Give me your thoughts on these beer combos...Half and Half? Black and Tan? Blasphemous or no for a Guinness aficionado such as yourself?

Verc was more of a Night Court kinda guy.

 

[zjcvols]

Easy. Johnson, Pedro, Maddux, Clemens

Add Koufax and that's probably the list.

Although I'd take Seaver over Clemens.

That's small potatoes my friend. Google Dwight Gooden stats from 1985.

I did. And they are incredible, especially for what, a 20 year old? But Johnson actually had the better year statistically, even though Gooden probably had the more impressive year considering his age.

 

[005]

Exact same FIP

 

[zjcvols]

Exact same FIP

I'm not silly enough to argue how good Dwight Gooden's 1985 was.

OT, but how the hell did David Pollack get a analyst job?

 

[zjcvols]

The craziest thing about Gooden's 1985 is that he stranded 87% of baserunners...

That's ****ing unreal.

 

[005]

How did *majority of former players who randomly have analyst jobs* get said analyst job
