I don’t know how to explain this, but after listening to like half of that (admittedly very edited) Bill Simmons interview of Taylor Sheridan, I’ve never been more convinced that someone was a pathological liar. #theringer#thebillsimmonspodcast
@OleTimeHardball This is such a ridiculous comparison to even try to make. It’s like asking whether you’d rather have a bi-plane right off the factory floor in 1917 or a modern space shuttle. They exist in two wildly different worlds.
@Troydeeogee@cody__cubs@flapprdotnet Exactly. A massive portion of the league was doing them, pitchers included. And these few dudes stood out above everyone else. The idea that they were using some secret cheat code and most everyone else wasn’t is laughable.

@uscfan981 Maddux was elite for a very long time, and was just a different kind of pitcher than Pedro. But peak Pedro is the best pitcher I’ve ever seen, full stop.
