Dan T. Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) 22 minutes ago, Riggo#44 said: All joking aside, it's interesting to see how players have been evaluated in light of advanced metrics and stats, and how the overall game has changed so much. Ryan pitched almost 700 IP in 1973 - 1974. Most pitchers today get that in 3-4 years.  Think about this. Max has the most career strikeouts of any active pitcher in the game, and is currently 18th all time. If, starting in 2022, he notches 215 strikeouts per season (his career average) until he is 48 years old he would STILL not overtake Nolan Ryan's 5714 Ks on the all time list.  I am not arguing Ryan is the best pitcher. But he is the unquestioned Strikeout King by a crazy wide margin.    12 minutes ago, Riggo#44 said: Baseball has the most unbreakable records in all of sports: Cy Young's 511 Wins Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak Ripken's 2,632 consecutive games Ryan's 8 No-hitters Bonds 762 HRs* Clemens 7 CYAs*  Ryan's 5,714 strikeouts.    Edited December 1, 2021 by Dan T. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Nationals sign ex-Marlin infielder Dee Gordon to a minor league contract. He's 33 and on the downward side of his career but, hey, maybe he has a little gas left in the tank.  Nationals sign Dee Strange-Gordon to minor league deal - The Washington Post 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo#44 Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 Way-too-early Mock Draft has us taking Elijah Green: Quote 5. Nationals: Elijah Green, OF, IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) No player in this Draft has a higher ceiling than Green, who would have been a top-10 choice in 2021 if rumors that he might reclassify had proven true. He has well above-average raw power and speed and he's a quality center fielder with a strong arm, but some swing-and-miss issues give teams a bit of pause.

PleaseBlitz Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I'm sorry I missed the convo on unbreakable baseball records.  Nolan Ryan is an unbreakable record machine.  5714 strikeouts. #2 is 4875.  2795 walks. #2 has 1833  757 stolen bases allowed. #2 allowed 547  292 losses. #2 is 279 and belongs to Walter Johnson who pitched in a completely different era.  37 zero, 1 or 2 hitters. #2 is 25, also Walter Johnson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have skipped right past this post. Wanted to add: Walter Johnson holds the career record for most shutouts at 110. That's 34 more than Cy Young who pitched 1,500+ more innings (~116 more games) than WJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
