oblong Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Verlander has a very good shot at 300 Wins. When Cabrera got 3000 I looked at the list at the time and it looked like nobody active has a chance. Altuve maybe, if he stays healthy and wants to play longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerbomb13 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Does Verlander still have three good season left in the tank to get there? He was still good last year, even though his K rate dropped a bit. I’m hoping he does, but it seems up in the air with his age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger337 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) I am probably in the minority but watching over the hill players chasing counting records doesn't do anything for me especially when it comes at the expense of lifetime rate stats. Verlander is still good though, so it wouldn't bother me (at least not yet) Edited January 10 by Tiger337 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Playing for the Astros I think he has a shot. Obviously he has to be healthy. I wouldn't put it past him to keep playing. He's made no secret Nolan Ryan is his hero and he played until 46. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's mentioned in there because he took Brian's place after the Tigstown guys got him ousted at BYB for the plagiarism. Mark got pissy at me dating back 20+ years on here and over the years on twitter, I got tired of his poor logic and hot takey logic and ended up blocking him. That crew is really defensive of Sakowski for some reason, and while I admit I take the bashing too far sometimes, it is only because so many have swept a cardinal sin under the rug.

We’ve learned in our research lab that baseball is a developmental sport. The Tommy John ligament matures at about age 26. In high school, the red line where the forces go beyond the tensile properties of the ligament is about 80 mph." Pretty much blows everything in the world of youth and minor league pitching out of the water right there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I never understood the lure of youth sports to the extent or sacrificing entire summers in lieu of constant traveling for tournaments and camps and all of that… just to get a scholarship at some mid level school. I’m talking division 2 or 3 l, if NCAA at all. It seems to have become a big thing with my generation raising the kids. You spent more on the sport and sacrificed more than the scholarship is worth. Live life. Don’t make your kid spend their childhood on the road. as much as I love baseball and playing it as a kid I am not upset my son didn’t care for it if that’s what it takes to be good at a sport today as a youth. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live life and do what, play video games? Striving for something, anything, is living life, and those lessons, even if you fail and come up short, are invaluable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striving for something, anything, is living life, and those lessons, even if you fail and come up short, are invaluable. Striving for something is great if you are doing something that you love. Video games are not my thing, but studies have show that they do develop skills that can be useful in life. Travel sports are probably great for some kids too. I think for most youth, the pressure of obsessing over one sport is not the best experience especially if it's under the supervision of over ambitious adults. Playing a variety of different sports and other activities is probably a better experience for most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
