Think "banging on garbage cans to indicate pitch"

Fuck the New York Yankees!





That is all.

As long as baseball is a sport and regardless of who holds what records, no one will forget a 20 something year old robin ventura charging the mound against a 45+ yo Nolan Ryan and getting a good old drum of texas whoop ass opened up on his face.

I wonder how much less chin music we’d have seen if Nolan had to bat once in a while.

He had to bat when he was with the Mets and Astros.

Was he known to throw inside then?

I was pretty young when he was with the Astros, so can't answer that.

Remember Denny McClain?

On September 19, 1968, at Tiger Stadium, Detroit right-hander Denny McLain was cruising along in the top of the eighth with a 6-1 lead over the New York Yankees. He had won his 30th game five days earlier, and the Tigers had already clinched the American League pennant. When Yankees first baseman Mickey Mantle came to bat with one out and nobody on, McLain let Mantle know that he would give him whatever pitch Mickey wanted. After a few batting-practice fastballs were skeptically ignored or fouled off, Mantle signaled for a fastball letter high, McLain delivered it, and the Mick deposited it into the right-field seats. It was Mantle’s 535th career home run, passing Jimmie Foxx for third place all-time. McLain was coy in the locker room, and later received a stern rebuke from Commissioner William Eckert, but freely admitted the circumstances of the event over the subsequent years.

Not my writing.

+30 games won. I dont see that ever happening again.

well if the players were willing to trade favors then, who knows what was possible.

[Reservoir Dog]

+30 games won. I dont see that ever happening again.

As long as teams maintain a 5 man roster it will never happen again.
Bob Welch gave it a good run back in the early 90's (forget which year exactly) but these days pitchers are winning Cy Young awards for getting 20 wins.

Wins aren't valued the same anymore.

30 wins will never happen again because when McClain pitched a starter could count on 45 starts a season. Now guys only get 34 or 35 starts.

so, i'm watching my first base ball game this year. and, i'm no baseball fan by a long shot, but i was curious what it would be like. the crowd noise and those stupid cut outs behind the plate in the seats make it sort of seem like there is a crowd. its amazing how they work the crowd noise to match with the hits or swings or whatever happens. If you were a huge fan of the sport, this wouldn't be too bad.

They got the crowd noise from the MLB video game. I read they weren't supposed to use the boo sfx. But I clearly heard the boos in the Astros game when the pitcher threw over to first to keep the runner close.

I still can't watch an entire game from beginning to end. I'll turn it on while doing stuff on the computer, or maybe cooking dinner. 5 innings is about my limit for focussed watching.

I wonder who the first person to sue them for using their image as a fan will be.

The fans have to pay for those.

If people are paying, there is no hope left for the country.

Some people are having a little fun with it, I don’t think it’s bad.

Then I'm sure I'll be excited until halfway through when the Padres are mathmatically eliminated.

Don't look now, but the Padres are 6-2 (and the 2 losses were both 1 run games)

Only because the Rockies won't give up on Wade "batting practice" Davis. Rocks had a 5-4 lead going into the top of the 9th. Davis gives up 4 on two homers.

We'll see. I will say, if you haven't seen him play yet, Fernando Tatis Jr. is the real deal.
