OT: MLB Thread Part XXVIII: Vote Starlin Castro for the ASG

[East Coast Bias]

Almost on cue. Here he is.

 

[ThirdEye]

Fatcesa is the Trump of sports commentary

f***, I want Bauer now more than ever and hope he gets a ring here and calls in to shove it down Francesa's throat every day

Would not be surprised to see the Mets trade Syndegaard.

Hey, back in the day the traded a 24 year old pitcher (who had great stuff) with a lifetime 29-38 record, 3.58 ERA, 344 BB and 493 K in 510 innings.

Yeah, be fun to see Noah end up being another Nolan Ryan on an intelligent team.

Meh. I don't question his stuff, but I do have questions about his makeup.

If he goes to Houston and dominates, it'll be more about whatever they're doing down there than him. It's a little suspect that every guy off the street turns into a Cy Young candidate there. To go along with tons of accusations over the years.

I think you’re safe on this one.

The Mets' fabled soon-to-be-dynastic pitching corps is going to be whittled down to Jake and a partially embalmed Steven Matz

Playing the Titanic Song with regards to the New York Mets should always be this version.



But I have to admit, it's actually sad DeGrom-Harvey-Syndergaard got cut so short.

So does Kevin Durant, lol

Durant actually made alternate accounts to argue with strangers about himself on Twitter. Yet not a team in NBA who wouldn't want him.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Random question for you all: who has had the prettiest swing you’ve ever seen? For me, it would have to be Beltran. What an under appreciated player.

He had a good one, my favorite is Prime Albert Pujols who had no leg kick/lift, kinda similar to Beltran, just pivoted his front foot. It was beautiful.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Some good answers in here. It was a pleasure to watch all those guys hit. David Wright and Don Mattingly were two others.

 

[klingsor]

I loved Strawberry's swing. McCovey, too.

They looked good even when they missed.

 

[East Coast Bias]

I always loved watching Vlad Guerrero hit.

There never seemed to be a ball he couldn't get to. His swing was so violent, but so damn effective.

His was a FUN swing to watch, but I don't know that I'd call it pretty...

It was anything but pretty.

It was hilarious to watch him swat balls that were 6 inches outside and basically on the dirt the other way for 450 ft. Soriano was similar, though less extreme and less effective.

 

[JCProdigy]

My most "beautiful swings":

LH = Griffy Jr., Will Clark., Justice
RH = Soriano, E. Martinez, and ARod

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Low key was in love with Adam Laroche's swing. Probably my favorite LH swing behind Griffey and Cano.

 

[Bob Richards]

Vlad could also throw the ball through the moon

 

[East Coast Bias]

Yup. It seems like he swung at everything but somehow the guy finished his career with almost as many walks as strikeouts, strikeouts being not too high, and with a .318 average. Absolutely nuts when you watch that swing and how wildly undisciplined it looked.

Neck and neck between him, Ichiro, and Judge for the best I’ve ever seen.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

On subject of OF arms, this guy had 100+ OF assists and made probably the greatest asssit of all time.



Still mind boggling to this day, thin air in Colorado had to play a part

 

[NYR Viper]

I always admired David Justice’s swing from the left side. Gary Sheffield’s swing just never made sense to me. The strength of his forearms must have been immense. He was fun to watch.

 

[mrmovies779]

Jesse Barfield and Andre Dawson had arms just as good,if not better.

I actually considered editing to add Barfield.

Guillen was incredibly talented.

 

[LeetchisGod]

I want no part of this Red Sox team in a playoff series.

 

[mrmovies779]

Can we send Paxton back to Seattle...or the moon?Hes been terrible

Work those phones Cash,we need severe help
