OldTimer’s Dugout - Off Topic Thread

[@1RBFjr]

Probably a good thing. What amazed me was the fact that a few posters were getting nasty back to the supposed mom. Is this how far we’ve come in such a short time? 2 years ago we would’ve been kissing major booty for a 4 star, in state player, now that we are “back”, we just tell mom exactly what we think, regardless if it hurts us in the recruitment of the kid!

I’m not condoning what happened, but she’ll find out Tennessee football fans haven’t cornered the market in, ahem, exuberance if she goes on the message boards of others programs. OTOH, the baseball forum got more interesting when the team was doing very well, causing the ban hammer to come out.

What did Cobb do, he shows up to the RF and posters are being removed, threads are being cleansed of content.

Good point.

Thanks for the chemistry cliff notes

All of my training has culminated in this shining moment, being able to summarize the back and forth between VN posters with Boo Carter’s mom…

Would this have been more up your alley in describing what happened over there?:
‘it was like a rapid oxidation reaction that produced large quantities of gases’

Yes indeed, that and a vigorous increase in kinetic energy driving collisions between fingers and keyboards

At least sign & use him as a relief pitcher.

He did pitch more innings than Edwin Dìaz so there’s that.

Guilty by association.

On November 10 in Baseball History...​

• 1950 - After nine years at the helm, the Indians fire manager Lou Boudreau amid howls of fan protest. Although Boudreau's overall winning percentage is a moderate .529, he won 92 games in a fourth-place finish. Al Lopez, who has piloted Double-A Minneapolis since l948, takes over with a two-year contract.
  
  
• 1953 - The Giants end their tour of Japan. It is reported that each player received just $331 of the $3,000 they were promised.
  
  
• 1964 - The Braves sign a 25-year lease to play in the new Atlanta stadium.
  
  
• 1965 - Willie Mays, with 52 home runs and 112 RBI, is named National League Most Valuable Player. Mays receives 224 votes to 177 for Sandy Koufax, who had a 2.04 ERA, won 26 games, allowed just 5.79 hits per game, and struck out 382.
  
  
• 1987 - In the closest vote in the award's history, Steve Bedrosian edges Rick Sutcliffe 57-55 to win the National League Cy Young Award. Bedrosian is the third reliever ever to win the award in the National League.
  
  
• 1988 - Dodgers ace Orel Hershiser (23-8) is a unanimous choice as National League Cy Young Award winner.
  
  
• 1997 - Roger Clemens becomes the first American League pitcher to win the Cy Young Award four times. Clemens, the first pitcher since Hal Newhouser in 1945 to win the pitching Triple Crown in the American League, led the league in wins (21), strikeouts (292), and ERA (2.05) in his first year with Toronto. Clemens won his first three Cy Young Awards with the Red Sox in 1986, 1987, and 1991.
  
  
• 1998 - Oakland outfielder Ben Grieve is named the American League Rookie of the Year.

No, that’s what happens to OB after he partakes in taco Tuesday.

Just my opinion, I’m not a fan of relief pitchers winning the Cy Young. They just don’t pitch enough innings to deserve it. What ever happened to the Rolaids Relief Award? Now it’s the Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman Awards.

Agreed.

Odorizzi is a good pick up for the Rangers.
He’ll be a good 4 arm for them.

And a good departure for the Braves

The Rangers are about to drop some serious change.
Teams will overpay for mediocre pitching this offseason, there’s not a lot of stars on the market.

Don’t know if you saw but Bruce Bochy is the manager for the Rangers. Expect them to be a playoff contender real soon.
