Cruzer 1,992 Posted May 18, 2016 I am not saying he didn't hit him good, he did. but this was a BARE FIST. what part of this are you missing? No knock out and no broken bones? That's just odd You watch too much tv... .Real life isn't a Walker Texas Ranger episode, people don't always go down just bcoz they got clocked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hdaddy 17 Posted May 18, 2016 I think the punch was more side of the face/ jaw as opposed to being down more towards the chin where maximum whiplash could have occurred and knocked him cold. You could tell he was dazed after getting touched though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could tell he was dazed after getting touched though. Yeah. Pretty much what I said earlier. If that punch had landed square on the chin, he would have collapsed in a heap.

hoytdwow 202 Posted May 18, 2016 You could tell he was dazed after getting touched though. Definitely...his knees buckled for sure. Very close to being a KO. Bitchtista was funny afterward talking shitt that "it takes a bigger man to knock me down." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willis McGahee's Dentist 61 Posted May 18, 2016 Definitely...his knees buckled for sure. Very close to being a KO.

kilroy69 994 Posted May 21, 2016 Jake Arrieta limited the Giants to one run and four hits over seven innings in Friday's victory. Arrieta easily won the duel of the Jakes, with Peavy failing to make it through the second inning. He's allowed one run or fewer in six of nine starts, and he's now 8-0 with a 1.29 ERA. The Cubs have won his last 22 starts dating back to July 30. Its not just that he is good it is that he his getting run support EVERY time he pitches. That just does not happen.

It makes me wonder how pitchers from this day and age would fare if they were allowed to pitch from the mound height gibson did in 68. He ended up with a 1.12 era and cruised through so easily that he threw 300 innings. THREE HUNDRED.for 268 ks. I Maintain that if you gave Randy Johnson an extra 6 inches of mound height his 2001 season would have been the best ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's on an unreal run. Even though their pitching styles were/are drastically different, it reminds me of Verlander in his prime. Every time he went out on the mound, you would cancel any plans and watch him because you knew he was going to dominate. Of course Kershaw has been like that for 5 years.

hoytdwow 202 Posted May 27, 2016 I'm about halfway through "The Arm," a book about the history of arm trouble and Tommy John surgery. It's excellent and pretty eye opening about how focked up the youth baseball system with it's obsession with pitch speed and ranking kids, and basically just causing them to blow their arms. 30% of elbow surgeries are teenagers. Couple good stories on current major leaguers who went through the surgery and re-hab, some twice. Some history on guys like Koufax and Nolan Ryan. Good stuff. Basically, there is no way to understand why some guys' elbows blow out and others don't. A lot of people are working the problem but have not been able to correlate IP, velocity, age, etc. Really good sections on the science and mechanics of the arm, and how it's just not designed to throw a baseball 95 MPH. The problem is even worse in Japan because they get all samurai about it and kids are pitching hundreds of innings in tournaments. Recommended. http://www.amazon.com/Arm-Billion-Dollar-Mystery-Valuable-Commodity/dp/0062400363 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Blue 06 195 Posted May 29, 2016 TB starter pitched a one hitter today...and lost. He gave up a walk in the 6th and a HR, and lost 2-1. It's rare to lose a one-hitter. Part of that is that the Yankees starter gave up the 1 run, followed by 3 hitless innings of relief with 7 of 9 batters whiffing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
