But otherwise I agree. 2014 was nothing short of amazing with the roster and injuries that were present. I watched the 2014 division clinch game just a few days ago. The celebration was awesome with the players on the field with their kids and all that stuff and Adam Jones pieing fans Expand I was trying to time it right to go to their clinching game. Ubaldo started that game so I didnt think they would win. Had tickets to the next night lol when all the regulars took off lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shilling in particular ended up being a great pitcher and multi allstar. Finley was a very solid player even before he left . Expand Eh the Steve Finley part isn’t quite true...he turned out to be very good from year 8 on...mostly from steroids in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His arm angle was pretty low too. But he was one of those pitchers who hated giving up HRs and would drill you the next time you came up if he thought you were celebrating too much lol One of my other favorite baseball stories with my dad was also when he was living in Michigan... he wasn't pitching that night but had a good buddy who was, and he was sitting on the bench. 1st inning starts, and an opponent player absolutely crushes a HR to left field. He tosses the bat and runs around the bases slowly. My dad tells his buddy next time to fire the ball at his ribs. 4th inning, guy comes up again. Curveball catches too much of the plate, ball again destroyed to right field. Guy starts dancing down first base line and stuff. My dad charges out of the dugout and plants the guy and starts a brawl in the field. Think he got something like a 5 game ban at the time Expand This helps to explain the Penguins stuff.

Just my opinion Expand He very well may have but based on what he did the first 2 seasons with the Os, there was no telling what he would be...and it’s certainly suspicious that after an 8 year career, all the sudden he became a power hitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
