This guy is a beast. Tons of people/sports analyst are already comparing him to Bo Jackson. I'll be at the game tonight. Go Dodgers!!!!!!
|
Hope he keeps this shiz up, I needs more homeruns!!!

Naw, this dude is good, he hit over 500 in spring training, was tearing it up in double A as well.
Dodgers just didnt want to reward him with bringing him up to fast, which is ****ing stupid! Then again, they had, Crawford, Kemp and Either in the outfield, but 2 guys went down so he came up! |

He just got intentionally walked in the 8th inning with a runner on 3rd base. Pretty good for your 5th game.
|
lol, Yeah, thats taking the league by storm. Hey kid, i know its your 5th game of yoru career, but we are going to intentionally walk you! lol
|
Damn Hanley almost jacked that one out for the win. Extra innings
|
Saw an autographed ball at a sports card store going for $100....Adrian Gonzalez was only $60.
|
Sad thing about Griffey is we think of him as wasted potential because he was injured so much... the guy still hit like 630 homers. He's right near the top of the list and ahead of almost all the steroid guys.
|
DODGERS!!!!!!!!!!

If he had juiced (which I'm glad he did not), he'd have blown away Bonds. |
he played to many years on that damn hard turf in seattle, ****ed his knee's up. Also he played pretty recklessly out in CF. He should have been the greatest ever, but ended up pretty ****ing great lol
|
Hes the next Bo Jackson.

Do you like being kicked in the balls? |

Loved some backhand no spin bowling, where you release with slight initial backspin with the back of your hand forward. What I lost in pin action, I more than gained in control. |

Bo Jackson, huh? A ballplayer could hear far worse comparisons than one of most-celebrated athletic talents ever. Dodgers star Matt Kemp made the same comparison once already. |

let's all calm down - he's what? Five games in? - Let the league adjust and see how he do.
He no Evan Gattis yet. |
Congrats on the back-to-back wins though. That's impressive against the Braves.

If Evan Gattis played in LA.. They'd have named a street after him and he'd be known, globally.

Either is a goner. By putting Puig in rf instead of center is the writing on the wall. Once Kemp comes back he goes to center and there is not a spot for Dre.
No way in hell can they justify sending Puig back down. |

Ethier has never been anything more than a solid starter in his best years. That contract was absolutely asinine.

Griffey was my HERO, man.
|
Quote:
That being said... He was not the hitter Barry Bonds was...pre or (obviously) post steroids. His swing was the most beautiful thing in sports...but Bonds was ALWAYS the better hitter. ALWAYS. |
from 1992 to 2007 Barry Bonds' lowest .OPS (the most important metric to determine how good of a hitter someone is) was .999.
Griffey only had an .OPS over 1.000 4 times and was only over .900 TWICE from 2000-2010. and here is my best Barry Bonds proof that steroids didn't suddenly turn him from star to superstar...that he was always superstar 1993: 129/46/123 .336/.458/1.136 (29 SBs) 1994: (Strike Season) 37 HR's in 112 games He was raking better than Miguel freaking Cabrera in 1993. He was on pace for like 55 HR's in 1994. Barry Bonds was always the best in the game. Steroids just turned him into a guy that somehow managed to get on base 61% of the time in a single year LMAO |

and as much as I love Griffey (and I do), his WAR from 2000-2010 was BARELY above replacement level most seasons.
Griffey was a sensation in the 90s. He was then washed up for 10 years. I'm happy he (and Frank Thomas) didn't succomb to peer pressure and roid up... but I can also respect the best roider in the roid era...Barry Bonds was ****ing awesome. |
Quote:
but no ****ing backhand spinner is going to average a 225...you can't constantly leave 7 and 10 pins and be a 225 bowler...and there is no ****ing way a guy who isn't throwing a correct hook has an average a 225. At least say 200 and make it believable. He already said that style causes him to have little pin action...well, guy, if you don't have pin action, you aren't AVERAGING a 225. |

You may have bowled a 225 GAME once. Anyone can do it once. There's a huge ****ing difference between doing it once and AVERAGING 225. If I get a hole in one, does that mean my average score for 18 holes of golf is 18? |
I'm not trying to be a dick...I just find it incredibly hard to believe a backup bowler can average a 225...when the best of the best that bowl at our local bowling alley will average that every 5 years or so...and generally between 215 and 220.

I've bowled a 300 before. Bowled it 2 years ago when I was 22 at Olympia Lanes in St. Joe. It was during a practice game, but who the **** cares. A 300 is still a 300.
|
Quote:
But it doesn't really count. I've bowled four 300s in league competition and one in a tournament. I've also bowled two 300s while practicing. Whenever anybody asks me how many 300s I've bowled, I always say "five". It would never even occur to me to say "seven". Nobody cares how many home runs Eric Hosmer hits in batting practice. |

Are the pins moving when you bowl in a league game? That would be a better analogy. |
To, me a legit 300 game is a 300 game.
Why would you say anything else? Posted via Mobile Device |
BUNT FOR AN OUT!!!!!! What a sensation!!!
|
|
Dodgers get Kemp and Crawford back and Healthy they might be a force.
|
I think it was Hud mocking the comparison to Bo during yesterdays game. Something along the lines of get back to me when he puts a linebackers flat on his back in the end zone.

The Dodgers are run like the 2008-2012 Red Sox and they'll get the same results. |

Just the fact that you are bowling on two lanes instead of one makes it a lot more difficult because you almost always have to play slightly different angles to the pocket on each lane because the lanes aren't identical. Plus, the 9 other bowlers cause the oil on the lanes to move and break down, so you have to anticipate the changes and make slight adjustments (usually by moving your feet a board or two on the approach and/or a moving your target on the lane a board or two to either the left or the right). When the oil breaks down, the ball hooks more. So to answer your question, No, the pins don't move. But the oil moves A LOT in league play, and it doesn't really move at all in open play. |
Serious question: How can you track the movement of oil?

Quote:
On some nights it's not too bad, especially if the guys on the other team are mostly left-handers or if they're not very good. Somebody throwing a straight ball down the middle of the lane doesn't cause the oil to move around where it matters. But if all 10 bowlers are right-handed, they all throw a big hook, and especially if most of them are throwing bowling balls made of reactive resin (which really soaks up the oil), the angle that you have to play to the pocket changes drastically as the night goes on because your ball starts hooking more and more. |
