@nut_history Obviously Bo in Tecmo Bowl, but Reggie White in Super Tecmo Bowl. He could almost get a sack on every passing play just by aiming between B gap and diving.
@JDSmith343@BruceJournal2@nut_history Cherry pick one of the greatest years by a pitcher ever of a guy that had 11.3 baserunners per game against a guy who had 11.3 baserunners per game. Completely invalid argument
@JDSmith343@BruceJournal2@nut_history Koufax had 5 years of greatness. Nolan was as dominant as Gibson without the mound height, but Gibson is the best argument.
@BruceJournal2@JDSmith343@nut_history You’re talking 324 wins vs 355 wins, with virtually identical ERAs and Whips. The teams they played on is the real difference maker. You taking the 90s Braves or the 70s Angels? The 00’s Braves, or the 80s Astros?
@sadcardsfan67@OleTimeHardball I was mistaken. It was just the 2011 season
2011: With Molina 3.80 — Without Molina 3.55
For his career it was with Molina 3.73 — Without Molina 4.22 (approx. +0.49 ERA when he wasn't catching).
@JDSmith343@nut_history Virtually the same Whip and ERA as Maddux, well over 300 wins for average teams. Lowest H/9 in MLB history. Longevity isn’t the most important thing, but it is still important. He was elite for over a decade and great for nearly 3 decades.
@macdaddyjam@nut_history He has the lowest h/9 in MLB history. Yes he walked a ton of batters, but his whip and ERA is virtually identical to “command king” Maddux.
@TheTruthSwagner It’s just flat out a terrible idea. A floor works, a cap doesn’t. Revenue sharing is an incentive for “small market” teams not to spend.

For Lou Gehrig Day I talked to and wrote about baseball’s indomitable stat queen, who is producing just as much as ever.

@sdmiddlecamp It is. And it’s an end of an era in Boston. Now would be a good time to stock up on Little Joe Boston merch, but I’m not sure I can bring myself to do it just yet.
