Jim Palmer Memorable Quotes 2014

Recommended Posts

Palmer's entire rant about the classless Blue Jays throwing at Joseph's head was a must-listen, but my favorite line was after Danny Valencia bailed out, thinking he was going to get hit in retaliation:

"No offense, Danny, but they're going to wait for someone else."

I can't transcribe it well enough from memory to do it justice, but that Feller/Weaver/Legends' Game story he just told is hilarious.

Maybe someone recorded it...

paraphrasing...there was an Old Timers game and Earl was managing. Feller told Earl, "If I don't start then I'm not playing." Earl replies, "You didn't win any games for me; Palmer's starting." Palmer says, "Earl, he's bob Feller, he can pitch whenever he wants." Earl pitches Feller for one hitter and pull him and puts in Palmer.

Loved that. Honest Palmer needs to write a book.

Literally everything in this thread is better then The nonsense spouted by TBS broadcasters.

Even Eckersley.

I agree. They are so annoying in not knowing anything about how Buck uses his bullpen. They kept stating Hunter was the "8th" inning setup man and couldn't understand why Buck was using Miller and Day instead. Maybe they should have hired some kid who was an O's fan as prep before the games so he could have told them that Hunter is NOT the regular 8th inning setup man. :rolleyestf: Unbelievable.

    • Since April 23. 7 for 28 including 2 doubles, 1 triple, and 1 homer.   5 walks.  3 strikeouts.  
    • I’d be very surprised too but it’s all about talent and where you draft.  At 22 it’s tough to get high ceiling talent.  I’d guess Brecht is a reliever at the next level but he’s got dominant reliever upside.  His stuff, reportedly, is as good as any pitcher in the draft.  95 strikeouts in 55 innings as a starter.  
    • He's already a HOF.  It's just that his injuries have killed his chances of being an Inner Circle HOF.
    • With three more hits today, Etzel is at .360/.992. He has 171 MiLB at bats, so a third of a season. Which projects to a full season with:  513 AB 111 R 39 2B 12 3B 12 HR 114 RBI 93 BB 123 SO 90 SB 21 CS .339 AVG .445 OBP .532 SLG Not too shabby!    
    • I would love for someone to explain or justify to me how in the world Mullins catch on 4/15 is listed at 65% catch probability. There are a couple of guys in the league that make that catch but it’s a very short list. Maybe I just don’t understand the stat.
    • Not sure a pitcher technically can get “squeezed” by the automated strike zone but Povich had a number of borderline pitches tonight that could go the other way.  Handley was visibility perturbed by a few of the calls on walks and Povich doubled over in disbelief on a couple of walk calls. He reminds me a little of Tom Glavine how he throws, his wind up, how he hides the ball and how it explodes out his hand….sort of effortless. I heard the announcer for the Sound say Povich’s curveball hasn’t had a hit against it all year long and every other pitch is around .100 batting avg against.  In person, his fastball has a lot more giddy up than the radar shows.  98 pitches tonight and looks like he has a rubber arm.  
    • a game you'd hope Mullins, Mountcastle or Santander would step up and were let down.
