“These (stat-driven) workouts are all eyewash. It’s a bunch of bulls–t. It’s like the Democrats are running baseball,” Gossage said.

“They’re trying to control something that is uncontrollable. And they’re taking all the beauty out of the game."

One season here in Pittsburgh where he was pretty much unhittable.

Thought you were talking about Goose Goslin. I think he played in the 1920s.

[kiryandil]

Goose Gossage is Da Man.

This is what I’ve said all along.

Steeling signs is as old as the game.

Who knew?

The best remark of the month:!

Goose Gossage, a member of the Yankees’ 1978 World Series championship team, also dusted off a few of his greatest hits, with shots at Cashman and the analytics craze that has taken over the game in recent years.

“These (stat-driven) workouts are all eyewash. It’s a bunch of bulls–t. It’s like the Democrats are running baseball,” Gossage said. “They’re trying to control something that is uncontrollable. And they’re taking all the beauty out of the game.

Goose has always been outspoken. Anyone remember when he was feuding with Padres owner Joan Kroc? IIRC that dustup started when the Padres banned beer in the clubhouse.

1977 ...... he was smokin'!

Then he was gone.

Stealing signs is not against regulations and it never was. Stealing signs by electronic means is prohibited by the rules in professional baseball and football.

It’s like the Democrats are running baseball

Hahahahaha!

Put the goose, Nolan Ryan, don Drysdale, and-a few other old timers in their prime out there on the mound. Batting averages would plunge and hospital visits would skyrocket. Crowding the plate would take a bullet proof vest. Ryan hit a guy with a curve ball and the idiot charged the mound. He should have ran out and thanked him for not bringing the heat.

...that dustup started when the Padres banned beer in the clubhouse.

Well, come on, man! They banned beer!

With improvements over time, what did folks expect?

I'm willing to entertain the idea I'm wrong here, but it doesn't
bother me.

Signs are cheating.

To the detriment of batters.

Not even just a little?
