SeeingEyeDog Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Can you name the first MLB pitcher searched under the league's new 2021 focus of enforcement protocols for foreign substances? ~Dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agdz59 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 I don't know how to post a tweet but Max Scherzer went off when they had to inspect him. The way they've decided to enforce this policy is a disaster. They should randomly take balls out of play after being pitched and check them. If that's even possible. Putting it on the umpires is, just, ugh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stkjock Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 The question: Who's the greatest pitcher in the game in the 2015+ time period? Who has more RBI then ER allowed in 2021? What pitcher has thrown more pitches at 100+ mph then the rest of the league combined? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeingEyeDog Posted June 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 @stkjock, deGrom is the dominant pitcher of his area and nobody should dispute that. Comparing his ERA mark this season to Bob Gibson's ERA in '68 is a garbage metric. Check the innings pitched over those starts...it's not even close. And by no means is it deGrom's "fault" when he was born, the era he played in or how pitchers are managed now. There is an entire history of MLB that stretches back long before deGrom's arrival. It's important we remember those guys and their accomplishments, too. ~Dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[turns the page of my newspaper whilst staring intently at the mattress ads] I'm just tired of hearing from mopes and humps about deGrom. You are neither of those...do carry on. ~Dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
