Funny the history of the word retarded is a 1950's version of PC.  It was to make people not use words like moron or idiot.  Then real life happened and kids in the 50's through the 80's used it any w

I can!  Me in the cage in '80 during offseason in high school.  And I have a knuckleball if needed in blowout games. More recent.

In the old days when they were more irresponsible with pitch counts and pitchers were getting hurt all the time, we wouldn't have to worry about our bullpen and Bradish would have finished off this gem. 

Bradish emptied what was left in the tank to get through the 7th.  Gotta go to the pen.

Ever since people did research on pitcher abuse in the wake of Kerry and Prior's arms falling off, 105-110 has been the limit for most pitchers unless they're trying to finish a no-hitter.  Prior's been out of the league for almost 20 years now.

LOL everyone brings up Prior as the example. Can you explain a hundred years of "pitcher abuse?"  Starters routinely threw over 130 pitches.  Oh wait I forgot, They didn't try as hard back then.

Verlander just spoke about this on the Athletic. He was a 120 P guy when he first came up and the era before him was saying why aren't guys throwing 150 P/G. Times change and usually for good reason.

      Melewski’s a little slow.  I saw that yesterday, elsewhere.

      Trade Proposal: Fedde & Kopech for Norby & Beavers

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I wouldn’t trade Basallo or Mayo straight up for Crochet. We need a starter and Crochet may not be a starter the rest of the year and this work load could affect his arm next year as well. He’s just too much of a risk and may not help us win this year.  If we could use Kjerstad to headline a deal, I would think something could be worked out.  Personally, I doubt crochet is traded. Getz is going to overvalue him and teams aren’t going to part with a top 20 guy and a top 50 guy plus more.  It’s just not happening, as I said it wouldn’t for Cease. As for other pitchers, some of the Texas guys are certainly possible. Miami has some intriguing options potentially. I’m a Detmers guy, although he’s a bit of a project.(maybe big BP help this year) I am also more about improving the pen first. End of the day, do I want Fedde starting game 3 of a playoff series?  As of today, I’m not sure I do so I don’t want to trade assets for that guy.

      Is O’Hearn that much worse than Mountcastle at 1B?  I don’t think so.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Allan Bryant · Posted

      I understand your case and logic for Skubal  . I do like him too . However I question whether the Tigers will trade him and secondly , is Elias willing pay the high costs to acquire him ?  Knowing Elias , I’m not sure 🤷‍♂️

      But that’s my point, who are all these flawless options?  By no means do you have to trade for our guys, but it’s not a stellar group of starting pitchers.  You’ll likely take on some risk with whomever you acquire.  I don’t like taking specific comments and then generalizing the whole board, but there is quite a bit of nitpicking going on from a large group of posters on almost all the SP options not named Skubal as well as some overvaluing of your lesser prospects who are unlikely to get something of value.  Getting an impactful SP in this market is going to hurt one way or the other, you just have to decide what trade offs are you willing to take. I do appreciate your viewpoints because you seem capable of saying something might be fair in terms of value, but at the same time not be a trade you’d actually make.  Personally, I think Crochet would be a massive coup for you guys at the price I just mentioned, but I can respect if you feel he’s too risky.  I’m not sure there will another SP like him available in terms of potential impact and now is the time you guys should really be going for it.
