Stephen Strasburg (2019 World Series MVP)

So this line was pure bullshit

"I focused on this card because I believe Stephen Strasburg is truly the LeBron James of baseball," said Power

Over $100K with 5 days left. Fucking insane. The clown that wins this better hope he doesn't blow out his elbow...

I'm actually the buyer. I'm selling it for a mill after he makes the all-star team.

Is this bullshit or did someone really bump up a bid over 300k for the hell of it?

 

[jwinslow]

by 300k do you mean 0.97 mil?

OMG .99 mil now.......unreal

No f'n way. I really missed out. Time to go find the next phenom's rookie card. :(

I was just curious with the bidding of

d***m( 62) US $500,900.00

to the next bid of

2***n( 1493) US $900,000.00

That would be a hell of a bid just to prove a point in any auction.

Can anyone explain to me why people bid up auctions before the last day? I don't think anyone should bid before the last 30 minutes, but I realize scheduling can be a problem.

People are retarded.

Something happened. Back to a cold 500k

Next great one, or the next Mark Prior/Kerry Wood? Tweaked his forearm last night, after already spending time on the DL. I cannot figure out why the Nationals brought him back after the first sign of fatigue/injury a month ago. He should have been shut down right then and there. Nats are going to chew him up.

Out for the year, now. Can anyone say, Mark Fidrich.

When I find something I really want, I pick a price I'm willing to pay and set a snipe. There's several services that offer this, I prefer www.gixen.com. Saves hassle of having to watch the auction...

Whatever happened to the guys that could toss 300 innings a year? You'd think with all the marvels of modern science, that wouldn't be an issue. Nowadays, it seems like you can't use a kid more than 160-180 innings before they're breaking down, yet guys like Feller, Koufax, Gibson and Ryan routinely tossed 300 innings and were completing 2/3 of their starts...and they had long careers. Athletes today are pussies.

Buster Olney quoting an NL scout, "Throwing that hard is probably a curse."

In related new, Reds' Aroldis Chapman is now reported to be hitting 104 on the radar gun.

My completely unscientific, non-provable opinion: I think these guys are getting used up too much from about the time they turn seven or eight. Dads with Major League dreams are out there on the bucket catching their kids 400 innings a summer for 10 years before they're even out of high school.
