Describe a player and guess who it is thread

[Omar 382]

Dibble it is.

Maybe I should have made it more difficult?

No that was a good one. I probably wouldn't have gotten in on the first try if you didn't throw in "slight attitude problem"

 

[DHoey]

Probably a Dodgers catcher?

 

[Omar 382]

I'm pretty horrible at anything before 1980.

Alright, I'll just give it. Del Crandall

Apparently he brawled with Lou Pinella one time. I wonder if there is any video of that

Yeah and the Stephen Strasburg fiasco was hiarious

 

[Omar 382]

While broadcasting a game in August 2010, Dibble drew negative attention for focusing on a group of female spectators in the Nationals crowd, and questioning their focus on the game. He later apologized for the comments. Later in the month, Dibble criticized Nationals rookie pitcher Stephen Strasburg for missing a start due to an injury: "Suck it up, kid. This is your profession. You chose to be a baseball player. You can't have the cavalry come in and save your butt every time you feel a little stiff shoulder, sore elbow." It was revealed shortly afterward that Strasburg had torn an elbow ligament and required Tommy John surgery. Dibble took a few days off from MASN after making the comments, and on September 1, 2010, MASN announced that Dibble would no longer be calling Nationals games. After losing his job with the Nationals, Dibble apologized for the Strasburg comments on his radio show.

In April 2011, Dibble said in an interview on FoxSports.com that the reason for his dismissal was because of an email Strasburg's father sent to the Lerner Family, the owners of the Nationals. Dibble also continued to express his belief that Strasburg should have pitched through his pain.

Seriously, what the fuck were the Nats smoking when they hired Rob fucking Dibble?

Wow, I had no clue.

Can you name the oldest pitcher in MLB history to record a win?

 

[Omar 382]

• Played his whole career with one team up until his final season
• His ERA and xFIP numbers aren't great, but you have to remember the era he pitched in
• All-Star in '92, '96, and '99
• He had his best season in 1996 when he pitched 222 innings, had a 3.41 ERA and a 3.76 FIP, good for a 5.4 WAR
• Finished with a 30.9 WAR in 1954.2 IP

Nope. More recent
