100 pitches in 3 days. Pitchers aren't supposed to do that. I challenge everyone to find another example like that. His arm was never the same. Occam's Razor, baby.
-
From the sounds of it this is what Theo wanted - a new challenge. But the man's main expertise, experience and achievement is obviously in baseball. And I like the fact that he and Crag have already worked together and have a good relationship.
-
This is where the return of Theo is hopefully a positive sign - just the fact that Henry acknowledged it was a good idea.
-
Those feisty French folk can be a problem, it's true. The last separation referendum came close to being a yes. If it happened, there was speculation that the Atlantic provinces might seek to become part of the United States.
-
Americans love to go to war with each other. I see this from my perspective as a typical pacifist Canadian.
-
He had already pitched a lot of innings that year, of course, and would pitch more in the rest of the offseason. We can never draw a direct between overuse and injury, but the correlation is obviously there. Otherwise teams wouldn't devote so much attention to managing pitchers' workloads.
-
This is strictly about pitchers's arms, which are not durable by any stretch of the imagination, due to the unnatural stress placed on joints, tendons and ligaments that are obviously not designed to withstand it.
-
It's not unreasonable to draw a connection.
-
I suppose you can add in the fact that the 2004 ALCS was probably the most important series in franchise history.
-
In Games 4-6 of the 2004 ALCS, Foulke threw 100 pitches over 3 nights in cold weather. Little wonder his arm was never the same. Tito ended his career for a ring. Foulke never complained about it either.
-
moon loves his hypotheticals. Any time you make a big investment in a baseball player you're taking on a lot of risk. There's no way around it. I'd say of all the deals I can't understand anyone regretting, Foulke's would be close to the top.
-
Your rotation obviously depends hugely on rebounds by Rodon and Nestor. Losing King was a big deal. He really made a nice transition to starting in 2023.
-
I thought you were a rings guy. You once said you'd take one ring for nine last place finishes. But now you're not sure signing Foulke or Lackey was worth it? Or are you speaking in terms of how most people see it rather than your own personal take? Help me understand.
-
Workman for Pivetta and Seabold.
-
I'm firmly in the 'flags fly forever' camp about Price, and Lackey as well, and don't forget Foulke either, who bombed out after 2004. Shouldn't really complain that much about moves that can be directly tied to hoisting the trophy, IMHO
-
Fred was also on Sawxheads, the most toxic forum in the history of civilization.
-
Why would you want to fight a bunch of old codgers? 'Cause I'm pretty sure that's what most of us are.
-
Oldred makes him sound like a Lord of the Rings type character.
-
This is one of those pieces of news that gets better the more you think about it. Not only do we get Theo, but Breslow has someone he already had success working with.
-
Which also rhymes with Still A Stupid Idea. -
I know. We do see players take those extensions though. Castillo and Glasnow being recent examples.
-
I simply have a suspicion that part of the reason the O's new owners pushed this trade was that they will try to extend him. I don't think that's totally off the wall.
-
Well, this time at least we added a smart guy instead of another stupid one. Also, Theo worked closely with Breslow with the Cubs. They already have a good relationship. That can't hurt.
-
You'll see.
-
Not really. He's bombastic. If Burnes likes Baltimore and they make him an offer he likes, Boras will just be the guy doing the paperwork.
