Stone on WSCR - Pitcher at the deadline

[anabiono]

Are you sending us telegraphs?

 

yeah...is there anyway that i can change my handle from omphaelos to ellipsis?

[anabiono]

if Greg Maddux had only shown some emotion and charisma he'd be a hall of famer

 

yep, he is a pretty emotionless pitcher...

 

:confused:

[anabiono]

wow...you guys couldn't tell that the last part about lennon was a joke?

 

I could tell the Lennon part was a joke, but I could also tell the part about needing to show emotion was serious.

 

he doesn't need to...but it would be nice to see sometimes...it isn't an end all be all situation though...

 

so...i stopped watching sports (and baseball in particular) after the marlins beat the indians in what was that 97? anyway...the part about hill being told to shut up by the manager...when did that happen...i started paying attention to ball again during the very tail end of 06...

Not only was he told to shut up by management, he was demoted shortly afterwards to "work on his attitude".

yeah, that was a few months before i got back into it...wow...that seemed like it was a big issue at the time...pretty silly if you ask me...

 

thanks though...i do have a new found respect for hill!!

 

:thumbsup:

ha ha, you're right. he's always pointing at the sky, screaming in rage and showing up opposing hitters on strikeouts.

ha ha...maybe somewhere along the line here the definition of emotion has been lost...i didn't say anything about it being nice to see hill freak out and have an emotional outburst...i just said emotion...feel free to run to the highest mountain on it if you want to

And what exactly about Maddux's mound demeanor screams (or even whispers, for that matter) emotion to you?

he dropped an f-bomb when he gave up that base hit to Lilly? yeah, I got nothing

You guys seem to be remembering the legend of Maddux more than the actuality. When things are going bad, Maddux gets visibly angry, and he's been known to bark at a few umpires in his day.

Hahn almost walked out to the mound and started a fight with him on Wednesday after Maddux threw his arms up when he didn't get the corner.

Maddux lets out audible profanities every time he misses his spot.
