Orioles look good now, but they went 6 straight years under .500 very recently. This just may be them reaping a great farm system as they did from 12-16. Boom bust period? From 98-11, they were under 500 every single season.
Red Sox pitcher Bryan Mata will miss more time after experiencing lat soreness following his latest rehab outing for Double-A Portland on Thursday.
Boston initially announced Mata’s injury as shoulder soreness, but the right-hander told reporters on Saturday the issue is primarily in his lat.
They used to measure Sam McDowell's fastballs vs motorcycles. High tech stuff!
Let's not get into the Dalkowski nonsense either which really gives up the game...
It's how we can send people into the sun, a fastball from 2036 that reaches escape velo. There's a 13 year old right now being trained at Driveline for this.
Fastballs can't rise. It's an impossibility.
Houck with guys behind him that could legitimately play defense? He probably has an ERA under 1.50 60 years ago.
The NBA back in the 50's was even more archaic. This year's Celtics would beat those teams by 50 points. I discount all NBA stats prior to the ABA merger.

I think the A's aren't very good, so probably the Reds. The integrated teams from the 70's are more modern than what the game was in the Cobb through DiMaggio days.
They may be better, but I think it's ridiculous to keep assuming that the greatest players of all time are long dead and the current players are outside the top 50.
