Even if you're one of those idiots who thinks every player now is better than every player a few decades ago, this is pretty extreme in it's stupidity.

I thought this guy was considered the writer for "smart" fans?

He used to read his columns on the air....does he still do that?

That's a really dumb thing to say.

Someone mentioned Joe Morgan and Sheehan’s response was 5’7” 160.

In 30 years mike trout would be lucky to make it to AAA.

Baseball has the advantage of hitting full time player status earlier than most leagues so the players were closer to today than in other sports where guys had to work other jobs.

He's only slightly less brain dead than Keith Law.

And really, I don't have any problem with the idiotic opinions these goofs spew, it's the fact that it's always coupled with know-it-all arrogance that causes me to hate their guts.

Great point! Surely a guy Altuve's size could never succeed today.






This guy is too dumb for words. How is he respected at all?

Back when ESPN classic was still around, you could catch Mark Fidrych pitch a Monday night baseball game back in the late 70's against the Yankees. This was before "the Bird" messed up his arm in a bar scuffle and before Roger Craig pioneered the split-finger fastball. No idea what Fidrych called any of his pitches, but they jumped all over the place on the way in. Looked like knuckle-ball movement on a 90+ mph pitches. Quick delivery too. Hitters mostly flailed into weak ground-outs off of Fidrych. Not really a big k guy. 31 starts his first full season, 97 K's. But he led the majors that season with 24 complete games and best in baseball that year 2.34 ERA.

Joe Sheehan has always been an asswipe. Guy had some crazy hatred for Scott Podesednik when he was voted into the All-Star Game in 2005

And of course the anecdotal “ you’re right Joe” idiot tweets roll in. For some reason people feel the need to make shit up or outright concoct ridiculous did not happens like this to double down on the original wrong tweet

Its an outright lie. The best female college softball player isnt better than an above average varsity male baseball player let alone thinking that 12 and 13 yr old girls are. Gtfo with that garbage.

Pretty sure the guy who had 4000+ career hits would manage to crack an MLB roster today.
