Storm posted:Yes but in what hilarious fashion? 6,7,8 Giants hitters hitting 2 dingers every game? 4 errors on the CF in one game? How?? Ok the Cardinals and Giants will go seven. San Francisco will eliminate St. Louis in the most heartbreaking of fashion -- Wainwright will throw batting practice in an emergency start and Yadier Molina will come out of the closet and openmouth kiss Brandon Phillips. Giants starters will be so taxed that Tim Lincecum starts game one of the World Series and no-hits Baltimore. Joaquin Arias and Gregor Blanco will hit multiple home runs throughout the series. Nelson Cruz will go hitless and have 2 fielding gaffes.

Ambassador of Funk posted:I think it's more for "The Best Fans in Baseball" outrage it would produce. Yeah about 3/4 of their tweets referenced Joe Buck going down on Kershaw, Magic Johnson having AIDS and giving it to players, and the bubble machine being gay.

a rowdy mullet posted:The library of congress released a recently found, highlight reel of the Washington Senators 1924 World Series win, and it's fuckin awesome. Walter Johnson makes an appearance in extra innings starting at 2:15; no idea how he could (supposedly) throw in the mid 90's with that delivery. It looks pretty similar to a Randy Johnson fast ball. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbaKWvLFKjc

a rowdy mullet posted:Walter Johnson's delivery reminds me a little of Paul Byrd, I always got a kick out of watching him use that old-school windup. It might be due to the cameral angles, but most of the old-time pitchers deliveries look so awkward, From the film I've seen it seems like pitchers didn't really incorporate their lower bodies into the windup until the 30's or 40's. Yeah I am not sure how much of it is the mound being different, but I recall people arguing over who was the first pitcher to really drive with their legs and dig their knee down on delivery.

Kawalimus is expressing his opinion in Sports Argument Stadium. A lot of these haters are just mad because he doesn't show the forum the proper respect or post the right way.

Vin Scully should call every playoff game from an ISDN line in his house.

I thought defense was proven to be poo poo in sabermetrics? Like most teams with bad defense and good offense go to the playoffs (COUGH DETROIT TIGERS), while teams with just good defense barely break even.
