New Inductee into the Brittle Bitch Club

[Manster7588]

I went to high school with a few people from Boston. They were basically punching bags.

That's cool, I'm not from Boston.

So, you're a bandwagon Red Sox fan?

Dad's from there, I followed his teams, and did so a long time ago.
As long as we're accusing others of band whining, aren't you Broncos fan?

I don't really watch the NFL enough to call myself a fan of any team. I like the Broncos though. Like the Falcons too. Liked the Broncos because of former UGA players(TD and Champ Bailey). Might be a Patriots fan now though since they're turning into Athens North.

Fair enough. My fandom has been explained multiple times on here, mostly due to crying Eagle Fan cops.

It's fine. You're more level headed than most Red Sox fans, so my plan failed.

40 years of pain tought me not to be too cocky.

Start spreading the news...

 

[flyerhawk]

ok, so you are disputing this?

fanned over 100 more guys than IP - check
led the league in FIP - check
led the leage in IP - check
led the league in K's - check
sub 1.00 WHIP? you betcha
K's/9 - nearly identical
hits/9 - nearly identical

Y or N? one letter answer only

Pedro had a .737 WHIP in 1999. IIRC, he gave up more than 3 ERs in 2 games.

Sale had a great 1st half last year but it wasn't that good.

Pitchers today all all pussies with few exceptions.

Verlander, Scherzer, deGrom(even if it's just for not throwing his teammates under the bus when nobody would blame him), Kluber, etc are some of the exceptions.

Bumgarner was on the list, but he's trending towards brittle bitch territory, and I say that with him being my favorite pitcher in the game.

How is Bum a brittle bitch? His only injuries were totally non pitching related: wrecking a dirt bike and taking a line drive comebacker off the hand.

doesn't take much to be more level headed than me

Seems all baseball players are brittle. 2 players collide and both leave the game, one is out for a week. In football that play is called 2nd and 7 and both players go back to work on the next play.

I thought you were only an asshole on the Politics Board. I stand corrected.

The same is thought of you as well. Congrats on claiming this is all fun to you and proving the exact opposite.

That's pretty much their entire fanbase nowadays. They've passed the Yankees in fair-weather fans. It's comical to watch Sox fans pretend they're the die-hards and Yankees fans are the front-running fair-weathers.

Missed significant time each of the last two years. God, homers to this level are sickening.

Something that might not hamper a football player too much might slightly alter a batter's swing. It ain't the players wanting to come out of the game, it's the manager taking them out of the game.

You seem way too knowledgeable about baseball to be this stupid. Roberto Osuna missed significant time this year, but not because he's brittle.

Apparently his wife/girlfriend is.

Bumgarner has missed significant time each of the last two years because of injury, not because he was suspended for domestic violence.

I guess if Freeman gets in a car wreck and misses a month he's brittle too. Good to know.

You just aren't using the word brittle correctly. That's ok, it's a free country

Freddie Freeman has been in the club for many years now. Can't miss over a month multiple times in a career with wrist problems and not be in the brittle bitch club. I don't see what the big deal is and why homers just can't accept it.
