Damn so the same speed as Nolan Ryan’s last pitch at age 47; a 237 pitch complete game

Maybe uncalled for on me but that hit a nerve. The man was baseball.

Thanks. The original link doesn't work. You might want to replace it with this one.

I will never get tired of someone claiming someone else is an idiot while demonstrating being an idiot.

That thing left in a hurry.


Actually it really didn’t. That thing was towering. One of the most impressive home runs I’ve seen in person. Absolute moon shot.

Because Joe Morgan wasn’t a great baseball commentator ? Was he an idiot?

Make that 18 homers in the last 23 games. That is insane!

I remember that bomb. I was on the USS Ross at the time. I made it home for the championship game.

PBP said it. Comes in at 92 goes out at 110.


Fairly sure he was just making a point on how hard it was. He wasnt seeing data

And the LF was quite optimistic. Running back to the wall and tracking it

LSU continued the home run barrage the next year. Then they had the 21-10 championship game. The NCAA shot itself in the foot because too many runs were scoring.
Yeah, they hit 8 HRs against USC in the first game of that series and that’s when the gorilla ball phrase became a thing.

You still wanting Nippolt on the field? How about all that other bull shite like the little lefty catcher that tanked? Saw him on the bottom of the pile last weekend.
.
They didn’t have Trackman then (1997) and the PBP man spit that out. Reread my post.

This game is just so difficult. The players have to have short memories between pitches much less games.
