OldTimer’s Dugout - General Topics, Chat, Random Photos and Memes.......No Politics

If they hold onto him for at least 5 more years he will be considered the best Pirate pitcher of all time. But that’s not really saying a lot. The best pitchers they’ve had for an extended period of time post-1950 were Bob Friend, John Candelaria, and Verne Law. None of those guys are considered top-100 pitchers of all-time.
Doug Drabek was pretty solid.
 
Feel however you want about him. I don’t care for he or most media people but objectively, why would he have a need to make something up like that and tarnish a player’s reputation? We already know Boo was missing team meetings/offseason workouts to begin with so this seems par for the course with him. Add in his momma’s big mouth and you can see what kind of dynamic they bring in. It wouldn’t serve Basilio to lie other than getting views in the short term and then if it is found to be false he loses viewers. I just wish every parent could see the way Mashack’s momma represented her son and the university. That’s how to be an outspoken and supportive parent for a D-1 athlete.


Pure class. Apple didn’t fall far from the Mashack tree. Maybe the most impressive athlete on and especially off the field at TN. He will do great things in life no doubt.
