He looked great tonight. I'm looking forward to watching him catch and pass clemens in wins and innings pitched."I never saw anyone like Ty Cobb. No one even close to him. He was the greatest all time ballplayer. That guy was superhuman, amazing."

Hitler & his supporters used Max Schmeling as a symbol & sports hero of the Jewish Holocaust known as Nazi Germany.
Supporters & sympathizers of the Black Holocaust known as Jim Crow, have Ruth & Cobb.

I remember his Dodger debut a couple years ago. Six no-hit innings before the rain delay
Good job Greg

Congratulations to the magnificent doofus
Here's hoping that he passes Clemens, and maybe even flags down Warren. He's the only guy I would be happy to see do it.
And here's to him maybe, finally, getting some of the huge regard that he earned long ago.3 6 10 21 29 31 35 41 42 44 47Comment

Why did they take him out in the 6th with only 68 pitches? Unless those 3 hits were in a row in the 6th.Originally posted by BenHertz View PostComment

Maddux can't pitch as many innings as he used to (age 42), and the Padres had 3 of their best relievers ready to pitch.
It was catcher Luke Carlin's ML debut,too.Comment

5-tool pitcher!? I've sadly never heard of this before ... what exactly are the tools?Originally posted by geezer View Post
Command? Power? Fielding? Stamina?AL East Champions: 1981 1982
AL Pennant: 1982
NL Central Champions: 2011
NL Wild Card: 2008
"It was like coming this close to your dreams and then watching them brush past you like a stranger in a crowd. At the time you don't think much of it; you know, we just don't recognize the significant moments of our lives while they're happening. Back then I thought, 'Well, there'll be other days.' I didn't realize that that was the only day." - Moonlight Graham

I've never heard of a 5-tool pitcher, either. My guess would be:Originally posted by The Dude View Post
-Power fastball (equivalent to power for a hitter)
-Control (equivalent to a great contact hitter)
-Has 4 great pitches
-Fielding
-WorkhorseStrikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.-Crash DavisComment

To put this into perspective, consider the chronology of the last occurrences of a pitcher obtaining 350 wins.
Yes, there was Clemens (unfortunately).
You have to go all the way back to 1963 when Spahn won his 350th game, shutting out the Chicago Cubs on the final day of the season.
And before that, all the way back to April 17th, 1927, when Pete Alexander beat the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 to win #350.
So that's only three times in the last 81 years that a player has won this many games. And we know Clemens was using steroids for a significant portion of his career, and wouldn't have had a prayer at 350 without them.
Damned impressive. Congrats to one of the top few greatest to ever pitch.
In my mind, perhaps the greatest of them all.Comment
