:themoreyouknow:


OPS plus of 13 that season. Career mark was 24.

Traded with Lou Klimchock twice. They were both stinky but Bowman only played in three seasons and Klimchock played in 12.

Utility infielders are a funny game.
Teams lie, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad. They do it to get an advantage while they look at the trade market or just because they can

Also, of the seven pitchers who qualified in these parameters (Hernandez, Hamels, Sabathia, Verlander, Haren, Buehrle and Shields), Cole has the highest K% and KBB%.

Pretty amazing run for Cole.


Wonder what his HoF chances are. He never got the pub those other guys but he's been pretty consistently great in his career. Lefty with a baller changeup is a good recipe for a long career too.

I hope he keeps things going. Other than Felix, Cole is the most consistent of that group and hasn't fallen off like Sabathia and Verlander have.

Amazing how Kershaw combines quality and quantity. Heads and shoulders above everyone else

Drafted out of H.S. The Dodgers weren't afraid of doing that. Why should the Phillies?

The Yankees promoted Gary Sanchez yesterday and started him against Chris Sale, he went 0-4 and today they demoted him.

I'd take a swing at Joey Bats, but who wouldn't?

Roughned Odor did that today and connected to his face after a hard take out slide by Joey Bats today.

you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?
