My bad. I didn't know there was already another thread about this. Mods feel free to delete this one.

I did read the article though, and what I took from it was Bundy was allegedely using this blend, along with a string of current Angels players, so it seemed feasible that he had continued to use it last season.

But if he was using it before last year than him using it last year, if he still was, doesn't explain his improvement.  (I think an abbreviated season explains his improvement)

From what I gather a majority of ML pitchers use something that is currently against the rules to improve their grip.  Trevor Bauer used to rant about it before he hit his walk season then he joined in.

Rosin and pine tar?   Gaylord Perry is in the Hall of Fame.  2 time Cy Young winner.  5 time All Star.  His autobiography is  titled  "Me and the Spitter".

I do think they should either amend or enforce the rule and the random enforcement is annoying.  Remember when the Marlins GM made himself the manager and got Matusz suspended?

I actually heard about this from his Twitter and I thought he is ranting about it still/now.

 
It’s almost like it did exist. Wow. The more you know...how crazy

If only there was just a really quick way to increase spin rate. Like what if you could trade for a player knowing that you could bump his spin rate a couple hundred rpm overnight...imagine the steals you could get on the trade market! If only that existed...

There is only one solution. It's time the boys accept Dad's huge mistake and release the bum. He won't even try out for another team. Just walk away in shame.

But...  But...  he's been working on his game in the off-season, and he's looking forward to Spring Training and stuff.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Hallas · Posted

      Am I crazy for thinking Burnes isn't going to sniff Cole's deal?  I'm thinking like 7/260-280.  I don't think he's going to sniff Cole's deal.  For starters i dont think hes as good a pitcher as Cole was at the time of his signing.  Also, the Yankees aren't going to be in the bidding so that leaves the Mets, Giants, Nats, Orioles as teams that can afford him.  The Sox could too, but they're on the fringe of contention and might opt to develop more with the Yankees and Orioles solidly ahead of them in division.  Only the Mets from that list really seem like teams that would go over 300m for a pitcher, but they will be pressed for money because of the luxury tax.

      Agree a strong RHP bullpen arm that misses bats would be good to add. Looking at Spotrac I don’t see who it would be. Dominguez could certainly be someone that could fill this role.

      It looks like I misread your post as being about last offseason instead of the 2017-2018 offseason.  My mistake, but does that in any way affect my overall point - you know the part that I made explicit and you left out of your response - that all the old, reflexive Angelosian nonsense no longer automatically applies? I'm unclear on what you're driving at, especially if I have to go back to the 2017-2018 offseason when Peter Angelos might still have been giving input on running the team.  I think it's a stretch to try to draw parallels to those days, or even the John Angelos years, to David Rubenstein potential as an owner.

      Irsay stealing the Colts in a midnight sneak away is in my top five depressing B-More moments, as well as the dreaded We Are Family Pirates in the ‘79 series. Otherwise, it’s a good bad list.

      I forgot the name of the movie, but Jimmy Fallon was playing a BoSox superfan (tough role for an NY kid) and it was during the era of the ‘curse’ (right at the end of it actually) — a kid he was coaching asked, “What have the Red Sox ever done for you?” His character didn’t have an answer. But it made me think. The movie was out during the 14-years of losing seasons. I asked myself the same question about whether a lifetime of fandom was worth it. For me, outside of my family - 15 generations or more on the Eastern Shore - the O’s are also part of my DNA.  Win, lose, lose horribly, lose ugly, bad ownership, they just can’t shake me. All that said, I totally understand the frustration. It will take me a little longer to heal from this ugly exit to 2024.

      In the market and $$$ for SP = Mets, Cubs, BOS, WAS and SFG (depending on Snell opt-out).  That’s enough chairs when music stops for Burnes and Fried to cash in, and still ample for second tier Eovaldi, Manea, Kikuchi, Flaherty.
