Describe a player and guess who it is thread

[Omar 382]

Boom!

 

[Cedrique]

Even with the clue I still almost fucked it up and said Ian Kennedy

 

[Cedrique]

wow, Kinsler is better than I thought. But he makes 14 million a year so I'm not really feeling too sorry for him

 

[Omar 382]

• Won 140 games in the 1980s, the second most in that decade
• In 1990 he pitched the only no-hitter in a certain team's franchise history
• Power pitcher who wasn't afraid to pitch inside
• He would frequently yell at himself and his teammates while on the mound
• 1985 AL ERA leader
• Finished with a 3.82 FIP in 2895.1 IP

DAvid Cone

 

[Omar 382]

Haha, no but a similar name

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Mark FYderick?

 

[Cedrique]

Dave Stieb

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Mark Langston-Dave Stewart?

 

[Omar 382]

Yes to Stieb

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Here are two weird facts. Name the player who was arrested for killing a Seagull with a thrown ball.
Name the player who would slide headfirst to avoid breaking cocaine vials he kept in his back pocket.
He was given an appropriate nickname that stayed with him through the years.

Lonnie Smith with the slide

 

[Omar 382]

I looked it up- not Smith. The actual guy was probably my second or third guess

 

[Omar 382]

Randy Johnson with the bird?

 

[Omar 382]

Kerry Wood?

 

[Cedrique]

lol, Rock Raines. one of my favorite players not on the Phillies

 

[Cedrique]

I'm pretty sure Johnson killed a bird but I don't think he was arrested. I think it was an outfielder and I think it was someone well known like Dawson or Winfield

 

[Cedrique]

Yes to Stieb

Stieb was really underrated. His career was around the same time as Jack Morris and Morris got more recognition because the teams he was on were not as bad as the expansion blue jays were in the early years. If he was on the Yankees or something he would have several 20 win seasons.

 

[Cedrique]

Here's one:

Good all around athlete with power and speed. The ballpark he played most of his games in wasn't great for power so he relied a lot on speed, but did hit over 20 hrs 3 times.
Received MVP votes 5 times, 4 All Star Games 4 Gold Gloves.
.285/.347/.790 career line.
Racked up 52.7 WAR

Tim THE ROCK Raines was the guy.
