When I get my time machine working, the Baldoquin/Vladdy Jr thing will be one of the first things I fix.

In fact, it might be the first.  I can do the 'tell a young Adolph Hitler his art is really quite good and he should stick with it' thing second.

Actually Hitler might be third.  I gotta stop the Blazers drafting Sam Bowie 2nd overall in 1984 also.

I'll volunteer to go with you, but do I have to bring my own weapons?

Oh??  I see we opted to double down on the cherry picked stat..  LOL

Career BB/9 rates for our historically poor control pitchers.

Heaney 2.5 BB/9, this year 3.0
Cobb  2.6 BB/9 ,this year 3.2
Quintana 2.6 BB/9, this year 7.0
Canning 3.4 BB/9, this year 4.0
Bundy 2.9 BB/9, this year 2.5
Ohtani 3.8 BB/9 (18), this year 6.4

The MLB average BB/9 this year is 3.4   The lowest it's been ACROSS MLB in the last 5 years is 3.2

Not only do the facts not support your position, it's painting you out to be a "mental midget."

Albert said he kept himself in game shape because he knew other teams would be interested. That dude hasn't been in game shape in over half a decade.

Ah, a baseball is round.  He's been in shape.

Oh the horror! Having to potentially face Pujols

I'm going to lol when Trout throws out Pujols trying to stretch a triple into a double.

So he's only playing against lefties?

Sounds like a part time gig to me.

There is a drop down list below where you can select the year. 

Even using the drop down menu, it eventually still takes you to the 1978 WS ball.

Beat me to it.

I've got to admit that when I initially read the thread title, I though HaloThunder was posting again.

Didn't he have a young son?

Anyhow, RIP.

Looking forward to a few "I agree" posts.

What's strange is that his grandson is 22 years old.

That's not strange.  Strange would be if his grandson still sits on his lap.
