The Atlanta Braves - Hello darkness my old friend

[05_never_again]

My favorite stat on Gretsky is that you could take away every goal he scored in his career and he would still hold the record for most points pretty comfortably.

Yeah. I think it's the single most incredible stat in all of sports, at least the major ones.

Nobody in the universe, aliens included, will be touching Cy Young's 511 wins.

Most of his records actually

What's the most unbreakable record in sports?

I think it's Gretsky's points record personally.

Nolan Ryans strikeout record... pitchers cant go long enough or stay healthy long enough

 

[zjcvols]

DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak will never be broken.

Call me crazy, but I think it can be done. It would take a once in a generational player (like imagine if Deion had Tony Gwynn’s hitting eye) but I think you could do it.

If you had 19 separate 300 K’s season you would still be short lol

Cal Ripken going 2,632 straight may not be the most unbreakable but it deserves to be in the discussion.

Isn't that just Ichiro?

Pete Rose hits record ... probably never broken.

Ichiro would have broken it had he been allowed to sign with an MLB team at age 22

Don’t think Ichiro was that fast. We’ve seen decent hitters get to 35 in a row. Hell, Uggla got to 33. I just don’t think it’s impossible.

 

[Carp]

Nice.

It isn't as unbreakable as something like Ryan's Ks or Young's wins, but I think that one is unbreakable barring some huge change in pitching staff/bullpen philosophy that makes it easier, which I suppose is possible.

Since 2010, the longest streak is 33 games. That one by Uggla. And bullpens have just gotten deeper and thrown harder since then. Whit Merrifield had a 31-gamer that spanned the 2018 and 2019 seasons. As impressive as those streaks are neither is remotely close to breaking the record. It isn't even two-thirds of the way there.

Big development here if he can keep progressing with the bat.

Yeah pretty torn on this one. If it goes past three rounds, DDP is taking it.

Offensively, I would say Hank Aaron’s total bases record or his 25 all star selections.

It’s one of the most extreme turnarounds I’ve ever seen. Doesn’t even look like the same guy.

If he keeps this pace, he could get to an .800 OPS by mid Sept, which is insane considering where he was barely a month ago.
