Who is the new Mariano?

Deuce · 10-17-13, 10:29 PM

Uehara. 5 up 5 down. Way too good. Boston wins pennant and World Series.

The Giant · 10-17-13, 10:33 PM

I read Deuce has a small play on Boston, but is a Tigers fan.

His jinx in this thread has me really confused.

Why put money on Boston if you want Detroit to win?

Deuce, explain yourself.

Because the small amount I lose means less to me than the Tigers season ending tonight.

I guess that's fair enough.

You win something for your troubles if Detroit loses.

I've just never been that way. I'm all in one way or the other.

Kimbrel best closer in mlb by far the past two years. not even fair having to try to hit him

CollegeOverUnder · 10-17-13, 10:46 PM

Not if they play the Dodgers.

The Giant · 10-17-13, 10:56 PM

I didn't realize this guy was already 38.

The Giant, I bet against the Astros every game I went to this season. I went to 6 free games.

BennyBigNuts · 10-17-13, 11:39 PM

Kimbrel is the nastiest closer we have seen in 30 years other than Mariano.
Has the most solid chance of anyone to get 500 saves in a career.

Chapman isn't dominant, and he would rather be a starter. I don't see him as any kind of competition.

Obv the closer for Redsox isn't even close to the best. Just had a good cpl months.
I don't like him as a closer, and I'm sure he won't be one in a few years.
I don't even like his stuff.
Not to mention the guy's like 40 years old.
Wouldn't be surprised if he gets slapped around his 2nd year of closing next year.

bubblebuttluv · 10-18-13, 12:56 AM

There will NEVER be another Mariano Rivera.

Guy was an animal (I'm a huge Yankees fan, btw).

Uehara and Kimbrel will be the two best closers in baseball for a while.

bubblebuttluv · 10-18-13, 12:58 AM

I didn't realize Uehara was that old either.

Smoke · 10-18-13, 03:04 AM

Beltran said puig thinks he's still playing somewhere else

Wainwright said agon's act was Mickey Mouse

Agree with Beltran but waino just being a puss

Hopefully adds a little more

Louisvillekid1 · 10-18-13, 08:53 AM

Gueys I don't wanna hear sandman mentioned in the same sentence as another closer

kimbrel

talk to me after a few World Series saves

Mariano is pretty sick bruh.

June 10th 2006 i saw him pitch like a monster at Busch stadium vs Cardinals.

I had the pleasure of sitting 5 rows back right behind home plate.

Pretty awesome to see him pitch in person.

Smoke · 10-18-13, 09:26 AM

One Jordan. One Mariano. One Brady.
