Serious question though?

Who will be next OC?
Who will be next DC? Robert Saleh has inside track to Jaguars HC position or 49 ers to reunite with Shanahan.

Now lost the best defensive position coach you guys had.

I have no clue on offense, I did hear talk of Saleh.

There are no Pats fans except @cobbwebb0710 but he doesn’t count.

I am forced to share news pertaining to all teams since with cobb, you never know

 

[VolPack22]

9 relief pitchers have won the Cy Young Award, 2 out of the 9 were CLOSERS. Who were they?

Double dip, who were the 2 relief pitchers or closers to win the league MVP?

Eric Gagne won a Cy Young. Dennis Eckersley won a Cy Young and MVP. Couldn’t tell you who else would have won the MVP

I’m pretty sure Eck won one but I’m drawing a blank on the other.

Did Rollie Fingers win an MVP as a reliever?

I never would’ve guessed Gagne.

I think this is a trick question, because I feel like Eckersley won the Cy Young and MVP in the same season.

I’m going with Fingers and Eckersley as MVP.

 

[VolPack22]

I never would’ve guessed Gagne.

I remember because Smoltz had 55 saves the year prior and was like “what’s so damn special about Gagne doing it?” And then I remembered he was a Dodger…

They lost, but I think it’s the best of 9 maybe?

 

[VolPack22]

Did Rollie Fingers win an MVP as a reliever?

Fingers won Cy Young and MVP same year but idk if he was part-time closer? He only had 28 saves the year he won so maybe he wasn’t full-time?

 

[MAD]

Yeah best of 9

Mayagüez, which is seeking to be crowned champion for the twentieth time in its glorious history, has taken a 4-0 lead in the final series that is being played in a best-of-nine format, and has therefore placed itself one victory away from being crowned champion.

Yes "The Stache" won MVP as a reliever..

Things have gone from bad to worse for Cal…

There was no dominating starting pitcher in N.L. in 2003 that's why Gagne won the CY Young Award

55/55 on save opportunities
1.20 era
2-3 record
137 strikeouts in 82 1/3 innings pitched with only 20 walks.

Of course as a Braves Fan you believe Russ Ortiz with a 21-7 record and that great 3.81 era should've won the award..


The reason Smoltz didn't win CY Young as a closer in 2002 was

Randy Johnson 24-5 record with over 300 strikeouts and led league in ERA.

There are two tournaments coming up that should be a lot of fun.

Mayaguez is being protected by the umps and the league, just like Mahomes and the Chiefs!!

I’m going to have to get babbel, if I’m going to keep watching this foreign beisbol.
I can’t read a damn thing on either of these, what I assume are schedules...

Not gonna lie, your smart assery makes me laugh.

Smoltz was the man though!
He’s in my top 4-5 all time Braves.

Kirby Yates signed a 2/$24 million dollar contract yesterday. Little overpaid imo

Smoltz was great as a starter and closer no doubt. I would put Smoltz on mound in Game 7 of WS before Greg Maddux all day long...

Idk bout that, but Tom Henke and John Franco are 2 of the most underrated arms out of the pen.
Time has forgotten about guys like that.

How many on here actually remember Gene Garber?
