Bears eat Penguins and the Yankees actually won a game

[Mike Oxlodge]

Except nobody, ever, has ever said, ever... that only throwing one pitch means you have no talent.

What I did say...

Was that if you want to be in the conversation for "most talented" you should have 3 or 4 or 5 plus pitches that you can throw for strikes any time.

To which... Idiot face and fuck machine said "Mariano Rivera had no talent"

I said..

"Great, so you find the one all time great who threw only one pitch"


And now people are saying things like Charlie Hough and Tim Wakefield.




So, Ox, unless you think that Tim Wakefield is an all time great, why..... in the fuck...

did you bring him up?

So you're saying Tim Wakefield isnt an all time great. I agree.

I don't think throwing hard is the end all be all to "talent"

Give me a pitcher like Buchholz or Darvish who have 4 or 5 "plus" pitches that he can throw for strikes any time over a guy who throws hard..

That's "talent"...

 

[cerealboi]

pretty lights out that first year with the Pirates..

He was awesome in the postseason for them..throwing 2 complete games vs your braves..

He should have stopped right there..

Nyet - check out his first season with the Sox (1995?). He was great. Then it kinda went downhill.

 

[RedSoxWorrld]

If only Wakefield didnt throw a knuckler to Aaron Boone.

that pitch never knuckled

mo has no talent

Yeah it was 2 different convos now being blended into 1 so people can mock others


OK, back on ignore with you. Have a good one!

a lot of that going on today...I'm thinking of just taking it to the next level, and start arguing JD's position that Homer Bailey is the most talented pitcher in MLB history...just...cuz....

He made $55.6 million after that season.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Yeah. You're lying.

When the comparison was made, it was strictly based on the fact that Randy Johnson, another big LHP who threw 100 and a wicked slider, was effective as a 2 pitch pitcher...And based on that, if Chapman could learn to throw his slider over the plate consistently, that he could indeed become a dominant starter despite only having 2 pitches.

"Crazy comparison"

Great... And if I said

"Clay Buchholz is like a young Pedro Martinez...

Both throw four pitches for strikes with command."



I would be mocked with "Snuggles thinks Buchholz is Pedro Martinez" posts every day for a decade.




Don't play dumb with me. You know what I'm saying..



If you wanna be a Chapman honk, be a Chapman honk...

But don't get all bent out of shape when other posters aren't ready to send Middlebrooks to the Independent Leagues because he's hitting .200 over 40 games..

 

[Rock Strongo]

Oh you'd never hear me say Wakefield is an all time great, he just fits the no talent criteria of pitching.

But Rock said numerous times, he's a "compelling" case for Cooperstown. So you have the wrong guy.

best and longest tenured knuckleballer in the last 20 years
closed, started, long relief

2 WS winners

compelling, sure...thats about it

Yeah, he gave up like 4-5 runs and 10 hits that game 6. Wasnt all that impressed they gave him a huge lead.

incorrect

first year with Boston, he started off something like 16-1

was never that good again

mo has no talent

Word. His entire career has been built by umpires with selective eyesight.

Mo = Asterisk

 

[Down38st8]

So you're saying Tim Wakefield isnt an all time great. I agree.

So, are you admitting that using him as a comparison to "the most talented pitcher in MLB" doesn't make a fucking lick of sense?


I told you to try harder with this troll thing you're doing today...you're not listening...

I don't think even Tim Wakefield's mother would disagree with that.
