"baseball is so much better now"

[HammerDown]

Losing Rock because of NUFTW was the worst trade off ever.

Top three dickheads all time that we posted with. Good fucking riddance.

You provided training camp levels.

Really??? I was feeling like I had recaptured some of my Fannation glory days

deGrom is weird. He kept throwing faster and faster every year, and his body just couldn’t handle it. Him routinely hitting 101 was nasty, but he was still one of the best in the game when he was throwing 97, and staying there might have prevented the injuries that will likely keep the best pitcher in baseball for a good stretch out of the HOF

3 lost seasons in a row now. Mets letting him walk was an uncharacteristically smart move by them

Obviously DeGrom would have never made it in the old days

deGrom could have thrown 85, had no stress on his arm and still been considered a flame thrower

Incorrect. He would injured himself working an off season job in a quarry.

He is soft...like Mike Trout soft

Soft by modern standards. Would have been a beast back then though.

Nope, my Grandad would have taken one look at that hair he used to have and beat him with an ax handle

He would have bent your grandpappy over and fucked him in the ass and there wouldn’t have been a damn thing pee paw could have done to stop it

Highly unlikely. Grandad was a pretty tough man. He played some minor league ball in the Appalachian leagues, served in WWII and worked on the train as a fireman. Then just for fun ran a cattle farm

Yeah, but he only threw like 40 MPH and thought sac bunts were good.

He couldn't pitch. Ya know thoracic outlet syndrome and all that

Never experienced this, so it never happened. See chewy for details about how everything he did not see, sucked.

That place must have been weaker than 18th century baseball

It wasn’t and then it was. It was cool as shit until SI stopped caring about and everything broke and went to hell.

Same for the CBS boards. Even with their overly-sensitive corporatist mods, that place was a lot of fun for a long time

Throw a dart blindfolded at the 2002 Angels roster and you'll hit a player who was 'roiding. In fact, I challenge you not to.

Especially David Eckstein

Baseball has gotten so incredibly ghey.
