Coincidence?
Is it me or was it weird that we gave up 3 runs after Edmonds got his first basehit for the Cubs?
by dralexp on May 15, 2008 2:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
it's not you...
is it also coincidence that it’s a rainy, dreary day in StL when Edmonds first plays for the Cubs? I think not.

this drinking game is turning into something pretty bad.
I’m concerned that St. Louis is going to take a pretty big hit. News Anchor- “The city of St. Louis lost 255 million dollars after the Cardinals strand 30 players in a 10 inning game. No word as of why this happened, but a drinking game is cited as a possible reason.”

never said it was easy
never said that they shouldn’t put drying agent on the mound, never said most of these things that you guys are defending.
what I’m saying is that a pitcher is not required to be as tough as an NFL quarterback, 6 days off or 4, mud or dirt, sun or rain.
"...but If I can do some damage and help my team win, I'm going to stay in there" -Albert
by BigMOman on May 15, 2008 3:21 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
And
what everyone else is saying is that it isn’t about toughness. It’s about the ability to repeat the delivery safely and effectively and the difficulty that a mound of mud presents when trying to do that.

NFL QBs have a week to get over pulled muscles. MLB pitchers have 1-4 days.
and
And they aren’t bring thier leg down from above thier head.
these are the comments to which I was responding. I took these comment as saying “yeah, everyone says NFL QBs are so tough, but THEY don’t have to play as often/land on their leg”
I think it was reasonable to read into that statement an implication that NFL QBs are somehow weaker/less vulnerable than MLB pitchers, which is the point I tried (unsuccessfully, evidently) to refute.
"...but If I can do some damage and help my team win, I'm going to stay in there" -Albert
by BigMOman on May 15, 2008 3:36 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I
said that because a simple pulled muscle can tweak an MLB pitcher’s performance in a way that it won’t with a QB. QBs play with broken fingers and thumbs; they are tough. MLB pitchers are “tough” too, I’m sure, but toughness isn’t really what the job requires.

by BigMOman on May 15, 2008 4:01 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
No
but their targets are a little bigger than an MLB pitchers. And I’m assuming a QBs throwing mechanics are simpler. The bottom line is that if a pitcher starts compensating, they can throw off their mechanics, leading to injury or fat pitches.
If a QB tweaks a muscle because his foot didn’t plant, he’ll get over it. An MLB player can turn that into a nagging, over-compensating injury.

the fact that nfl (at least starts) with all players on the grass, the mound and what the pitcher is doing has no true comparison in nfl.
