Only on the poli boards..and rarely. I maybe went at it with him on a tribe thread, don't remember. Now hoops...and others, that's another story.BRF;1228477 wrote:It was you and Footwedge. He will confirm.
It was some pretty entertaining stuff.
edit: I think it wasn't' "a-hole", but rather......."d-i-c-k".

CS....for die hard tribe fans...I would vote you number 1. That's not a bad thing either.Crimson streak;1228504 wrote:Haha we have gotten into it a few times but for the most part I like ya old timer
Well, could be. But us old fossils need to stick together. Sadly, when we speak of "window of opportunity" to win a title..it takes on a whole new meaning...so to speak.BRF;1228483 wrote:Well, it was funny and I remember trying to keep both of you grounded.
But, anyhow, good win tonight!
Sorry Laley....the pussification of relief pitchers can be broken overnight. The anal, micro-managing style is toxic poison..and not needed. I pitched in high school....and coach worked my ass off. Little leaguers in Pony League get 4 times the number of innings that the major leaguers get. Seriously, you don't think Goose Gossage brought it at 100 MPH in the 7th....8th....and 9th? Well he did.Laley23;1228461 wrote:You would have to change it throughout the whole organization. And really only start it with the pitchers you take out of HS. It can be done. But you cant wait till the major leagues. Their arms and muscles etc are all trained. Trying to throw too many pitches in a night or consecutive days will result in injury real quick.
and there is a reason they get a jersey with their name on the back and you dont.Footwedge;1228561 wrote:...... I pitched in high school....and coach worked my ass off. Little leaguers in Pony League get 4 times the number of innings that the major leaguers get....
after became a dedicated relief pitcher/closer in 1977, he only averaged 47 games per year during his career and only 1.5 innings per game.Footwedge;1228561 wrote:Seriously, you don't think Goose Gossage brought it at 100 MPH in the 7th....8th....and 9th? Well he did.

I guarantee you that the tribe would be 3 up...not 3 down...if Acta used his pen the way Billy Martin or Earl Weaver did. And if I was manager, our magic number would be around 15 by now!!
Jimenez vs Price......sounds like an early loss to me.Con_Alma;1228707 wrote:Early start today.
Agree. Only way is if Price is taken out. Maddon doesnt usually let him go much past 100, and I think he is right there already.Mulva;1229120 wrote:4-0. That's probably game.
