You don't remember hearing about it? He has serious anxiety issues.

No I didn't or I forgot about it. I don't pay all that much attention to it. I follow the NL West alittle more than other teams and I pay little attention to the American league.

Oh, there's no doubt he's really good. His behavior has been up and down though. Some attributed to social anxiety, for which he takes Zoloft now; some for just being an ass. Thing is nobody really knows Grienke but Grienke himself to be quite frank. It's because of what I'll call eccentric behavior that gets some flak aimed at him. Most of the really troubling stuff has gone away since he has been on the meds.

I looked at his stats. Most of his career was spent in the AL. That is probably why I don't really know him. I don't really follow the AL.

Good to see Grinke doing well, one of the better pitchers in baseball for sure.

Bob Gibson threw 13 shutouts, all complete games in 1968. Finished with 28 complete games that year. How many complete games has Greinke pitched this year?

Correct me if I'm wrong but 1968 was also the last year before the mound was lowered. That fact doubtless had a major impact on Bob Gibson's ability to dominate CG.

Yeah, anything 68 and before has to separated.

There's a reason nobody has won 30 games since, The Year of the Pitcher.

Did anyone else notice Greinke last night during the celebration standing away from everyone else and not even smiling? I wish I had grabbed a screenshot.
