I forgot about "Bullet" Bob Turley and Ryne Duren except they really never developed into front line pitchers...they did throw very fast and inside a lot. Nobody ever dug in against Duren he had thick, very thick glasses. At the time, those two threw the hardest and fastest of just about anyone in the game.<br /><br />Just a note about Ryne Duren and his Glasses.......<br />Ryne warming up on the mound would sometimes take a step toward the catcher and squint at the catcher as though he couldn't see his sign very well then he would proceed to throw the ball past the catcher, on the fly, all the way to the screen. Back then there was more than twice the distance it is now.Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-41927537446191901402015-07-01T20:42:31.578-04:002015-07-01T20:42:31.578-04:00Dellin isn't a good comparison.

Dellin would, and I exaggerate in order to drive home the point, strike out 15 batters while walking 10 and hitting four. <br /><br />I can't say much about Koufax or Ryan as they were a bit before my time.Daniel Burchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212584396848733519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-26490690642252977882015-07-01T20:35:48.565-04:002015-07-01T20:35:48.565-04:00It isn't a surprise to see a guy blowing a 98 ...It isn't a surprise to see a guy blowing a 98 mph fastball by people to have trouble, of one sort or another for a good while. Same could be said of Koufax, Ryan and our own Dellin to name a few. Other than not being very consistent with his breaking balls, he has come a long way from where he was in May. He still has the tell in his delivery for his breaking ball, but the hitter wouldn't see it because it is hidden by his shoulder.<br />He could conceivably be the best pitcher we have by the end of the year IF he improves as he has times two.<br />My opinion only!Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-27097758787356282112015-06-30T22:14:16.821-04:002015-06-30T22:14:16.821-04:00I don't think it played out that way, I think ...I don't think it played out that way, I think Cashman said in his Elf voice hey we have too much money invested in CC and it will look bad that we put him in the pen and Straight can't work out of the pen as it makes me look bad on the trade so Warren is out of the rotation, plus he pitched out of there last year. This is not the right move and shows the fan that they don't care about winning, just trying to show a player who is washed up we still love you. I like CC the person but CC the pitcher is done<br />Ken Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248552174229519871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-90913006964145516002015-06-30T21:43:01.677-04:002015-06-30T21:43:01.677-04:00I just don't think Cashman made this call, I d...I just don't think Cashman made this call, I don't.

King III of the New York Post after Eovaldi’s start on Friday against Ryan’s Astros.<br />“He knows how to pitch. The Yankees made themselves a good deal.’’ .......<br /><br />I'm old enough to remember the Mets being impatient with Ryan.<br />The season of '71...Ryan pitched 152 innings, and walked 116. With an ERA of 3.97.<br />The Mets hated the walks, and had enough of the young Texan. On Dec 10, 1971 they<br />traded Ryan to the California Angels...for SS Jim Fregosi. Fregosi' career was almost done.<br /><br />Ryan then completes a 27 year career, with 5714 strike outs.<br /><br />I'm not insinuating Eovaldi is another Ryan. Only, that with hard throwers like Ryan, and maybe<br />Eovaldi, they need a bit more time.<br /><br />*** Ryan, the following year, 1972, with the Angels :<br />284 innings pitched / 19-16 / 329 strike outs. It kept getting better.<br /><br />You never know.<br /><br />patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008211991899947734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-52223185418016342332015-06-30T18:40:55.072-04:002015-06-30T18:40:55.072-04:00Cashman assembled the team and handed CC the contr...Cashman assembled the team and handed CC the contract but Girardi put Warren in the pen, not Cashman.
