IcePhoenix posted:I'd still err on the side of most of Cy Young's records Yeah no one is ever going to beat 511 wins. Only 44 players in history have 511 starts, none of whom are currently active. Zack Greinke is the active leader with 459 starts.

It would have to be something incredibly tragic, like the unquestioned #1 prospect out of HS getting drafted with expectations of a SUPER quick trip to the majors, a year or two of extreme minor-league hype (enough to build a RAVENOUS base, likely through absurd social media presence), followed by a horrific career-ending injury in his first game in the majors, and then the franchise brings him back 22.1 years later for a gimmick appearance at the end of a lost season.

I didn't think the single season hits record would ever be broken and then came Ichiro. The top 10 most hits seasons are Ichiro (twice), and a bunch of dudes from the 1900-30's. Ichiro was loving awesome.

Available at Homage. https://www.homage.com/products/me-and-the-boys-boppin My wife showed it to me to see if I'd want it when they started selling them cause she thought it was oddly amusing. I immediately nerded out and pulled up that Dave Parker photo for her. "Well, you can't pull it off that well, so no. I'm not getting it for you." (Yes their shirts are too much, but they are really nice. As are their hoodies, sweats, etc. Hit their sales when you can.)

I think 315 losses is even more unassailable than 511 wins. As unlikely as it is, if a pitcher transcendant enough to win 25 games a year for 20 years came along, you know teams would have him out there as much as possible. It's much more difficult to envision a scenario for a guy who loses 15 games a year staying in the league for 20 years.

Feel like you could take the best pitching seasons of the last 25 years, add the wins together and you’d still be way under 500. Just degrom alone pushes you down a ton for the seasons he adds.

Just degrom alone pushes you down a ton for the seasons he adds. I looked it up and you're right. If a pitcher debuted in 1996 and tied the MLB leader in wins every year, he'd have 498 wins. The premodern pitching records like 511 wins, or 73 complete games in one season, will never be broken unless the MLB allows a cyborg pitcher. Cy Young pitched most of his games before a foul ball counted as a strike. There was still controversy about whether the sacrifice bunt should be banned. He got 150 wins without ever making a putout at first base, because the pitcher covering first hadn't been invented yet. Chamale fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Feb 25, 2021 |

To put it in another perspective - CC Sabathia was a true ace and massive workhorse that ended his nearly 20 year career with 251 wins. He would have to come back and have his entire career ALL OVER AGAIN, and STILL would be 10 wins away from breaking it. It blows my mind how much those pre-Ruth era guys pitched. There’s no way ANY of those records get touched ever again.

R.D. Mangles posted:abreu has covid Yeah, I'm not gonna lie I've kinda come around on this one. It would be what, <15K doses total to give two shots to every player on each team's 40 man + managers, coaches, and relevant clubhouse staff? That's a drop in the bucket and just having sports as a distraction would be a huge mental health boon to a lot of people.

Not just that but they're clearly going to have the season anyway so you might as well vaccinate this group that will be doing a lot of travelling to reduce the risk of spreading it.

Yeah, its lovely that people are getting to cut the line because they're rich and privileged and a bunch of people want to watch a game. But its happening any way and doses are going to waste and they're gonna play so gently caress it. At least the players won't get anyone sick and maybe you could market it to try and convince people to get it.

It'd be interesting to see someone do an analysis on how much spread potential there is from players (of any sport, really), and how vaccinating them compares against using those vaccines on the general public. Also, just to add, while the evidence is growing, there still is not definitive proof that someone being vaccinated is incapable of asymptomatic spread. So you could vaccinate the players, and they may live to play another day, but could wipe out a children's hospital during a publicity tour.

Hot (maybe mild?) take but I don't care if the players get it ahead of me or some rich guy does, it's more people getting it at the end of the day and they are actually getting the doses used. The players should be getting it anyway cause they are moving around all over the place much more than the average person is at the moment.

It seems like the biggest vaccine bottleneck is distribution, not production right now, so giving the players a bunch of them isn't necessarily a zero-sum thing where a nursing home will be missing out.

Honestly if we are gonna have sports athletes play for our entertainment we ought to get them vaccinated ahead of others. I'm a guy who can work from home safely, so yes athletes should be getting it before me.
