Cliffy6745 said:Yeah, I mean the tradition thing is dumb. What's he supposed to say though? The team has a chemist on staff to give me the stickiest stuff possible?
He gets to be the poster child because of his contract, status, and timing of turning into one of the best of the best....but this isn't Bonds, Giambi and the dudes who got huge. It is almost everyone.
I know it is wrong but I think this is funny the way it is rolling out.The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -
Cliffy6745 said:I mean, not sure anyone has disagreed with that
Want to make it exciting? Bring in slap hitters that move runners and aren’t worried about launch angle. Steal more bases. Suicide squeeze.
Stop w the analytics and a HR is the only thing that matters.
I can remember watching pitchers like John Tudor pull any the seams to raise them ever so slightly.
I can also remember Sparky Anderson asking the pitcher for the ball and spitting on it to do lord knows what, lol.
Licking fingers on rubber then pitching is still considered illegal too.0 -
Spider Tack reminds me of the stickum scene in The Replacements

So Cole won and spin rate is still up there.0
-
Well he threw harder which makes the ball able to spin more.

tempo_n_groove said:The way the umps check things in between innings is a joke. Why don't they look at the ball after it was pitched? Every time a ball scuffs the ground they discard it, why not check to see if it's sticky or what not?The love he receives is the love that is saved0

Gaylord Perry made a HOF career of doing it and hiding it very well.
Hell Joe Niekro used a damn nail file, lol. Mike Scott thre the nastiest pitch I ever saw but never could prove that he used something.0 -
They play their role so that they get to do what they want, as well.
The fix / the nod, whatever you want to call it.....open secret and nobody cared.The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -

Baseball has had players bending the rules since it's invention, lol. I love reading old stories of John McGraw going from first to third, across the diamond, when the umpire had his back turned. Ahhhh great stories.0 -
I laugh when I see poo-holes “run”
two tool player heading to the hall, while five tool Bonds gets frozen out by butt hurt sportswriters.If I had known then what I know now...
