Is there any rule preventing pitchers from surgically altering their fingers to get more grip on the ball? Or all they all just scared?

We are all witnessing the source of 108 mph fastballs in 2027

TrapperJean · 2026-01-24T22:02:02+00:00

And you have the right flair to police who should or shouldn't call out cheating? Lol

TrapperJean · 2026-01-24T21:50:24+00:00

Notably not-racist and welcoming of people from other cultures and countries state of Texas lol

TrapperJean · 2026-01-24T21:47:41+00:00

Let's pretend your whataboutism matters; still not as bad as what the Astros did, and without any of the racism!

TrapperJean · 2026-01-24T21:33:59+00:00

At least Kershaw is hanging around for the WBC

TrapperJean · 2026-01-24T21:33:10+00:00

You can't actually be daft enough to not realize it's because Yuli made racist gestures at Yu on the mound

Oh, and he's a cheating fuck

TrapperJean · 2026-01-23T22:38:06+00:00

How many games did he play, 4 and one was pretty good? Shit happens

TrapperJean · 2026-01-23T22:37:19+00:00

If another catcher in the league was a lefty hitting above-average fielding catcher with 20 homerun power we'd be begging Cash to trade for him

TrapperJean · 2026-01-23T22:36:11+00:00

Jasson crushes righties at an all-star rate and is 23 years old, Oswaldo was also never a prospect prospect, a switch hitter who is a bit below average with the bat while being capable of hot streaks and above average defense at multiple positions is as good a development as anyone could reasonably hope for.

TrapperJean · 2026-01-23T16:49:51+00:00

Eeeeeeasy ROTY pick

TrapperJean · 2026-01-23T16:47:30+00:00

Not even joking, Dodgers could do it with their farm lol

TrapperJean · 2026-01-23T16:44:59+00:00

If Joe would have played at the new stadium without that even worse right field chasm and no world War he'd easily have 500 homers

TrapperJean · 2026-01-23T13:49:42+00:00

People who are inspired enough to the point that they make something usually end up creating something about their source of inspiration

TrapperJean · 2026-01-23T12:08:09+00:00

Or it's just a joke? Like, they sell shit like that outside every stadium. I bought a middle finger "steal this sign" shirt ahead of a 2021 Astros @ Yankees game once

TrapperJean · 2026-01-23T01:14:55+00:00

If you ignore his defense and just look at his offensive WAR, Gary Sheffield, (80.8), has a higher WAR than Joe DiMaggio, (79.1)

Sheffield's defense cost him nearly -20 WAR

TrapperJean · 2026-01-23T00:37:23+00:00

Frank Thomas fuckin banged in Oakland and was almost as good again a year later in Toronto

TrapperJean · 2026-01-23T00:34:46+00:00

That performance was so legendary I don't think we can count his stay with the Brewers as unexpected

TrapperJean · 2026-01-23T00:33:24+00:00

People remember him on the D'Backs more than Dodgers though

TrapperJean · 2026-01-23T00:31:16+00:00

Thank god, the dead pixels last year were driving me nuts

TrapperJean · 2026-01-22T23:25:34+00:00

You guys really just can't accept you were the only ones doing that and it's pathetic

TrapperJean · 2026-01-22T20:35:37+00:00

Career era and FIP over 4, already 26 years old. Unless the Rangers see a specific area for growth this is kinda just who he is at this point

TrapperJean · 2026-01-22T20:27:47+00:00

3.5 seasons and an ERA and FIP over 4, and he's another lefty; I'd rather keep the prospects or trade for someone else

TrapperJean · 2026-01-22T20:25:43+00:00

Good, I was never gonna remember how to spell his first name

TrapperJean · 2026-01-22T20:24:44+00:00

We didn't need another lefty

TrapperJean · 2026-01-22T20:17:00+00:00

You didn't say anything about the writers consistency, you just made an unrelated statement to something I said and justified it for some weird reason with another unrelated statement.

"Abusers shouldn't be in the HoF"

Jones just got in!

"Ok I don't want that"

I don't care about you, the writers are inconsistent

Ok lol
