Was a time when most teams didn’t just have these special gues instructors who would put on a uniform a few days in spring training, but would be full time coaches every spring.. I remember every spring Boston would have, in uniform Dom Dimaggio, Bill Monboquette, Frank malzone, Bobby Doerr, Johnny pesky, eddie kasko and Ted Williams a few seasons in the mid-late 70’s. Few others would come and go..
Detroit would have frank Howard as remember, but the Yankees are the ones who brought along the HOF crew and those guys (several) made bus trips from Ft lauderdale often times, like mantle and ellie Howard. Dodgers would bring along Drysdale and Koufax.. those guys back then made road trips, sat in dugouts, then made the long trip back onboard team greyhound

Not too worried about Harvey…yet.
If he’s still hitting just 92-93 on May 1st, then it’s time to worry.

Agreed. This thing can end careers, so low-90s in his first spring start is fine. Results be damned.

94mph is still pretty good from Matt Harvey. More than I would have thought. You would imagine he isn’t pushing it too hard just yet.
He has a lot of stamina to build up. His whole body should be sore today. Quads, Back, Shoulder should have that feeling.

“Young Philadelphia righty Jake Thompson lauded Halladay’s baseball acumen and explained to Lawrence that he and the team’s other young arms relish the opportunity to learn from one of the best arms of the past generation.”
I thought I really had degraded memory….”past generation”? Halladay retired at the end of the 2013 season. Past the time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. And I even think there were cell phones back then.

A Generation isn’t a measure of time but a term for a collection of people living (in this case playing) at the same time. Halladay’s generation of players/teammates are most certainly in the past.

Agreed. Guys like Santana, Halladay and Lee were the last generation. Now it’s Scherzer, Syndergaard, Kershaw.

And look at what “TC” did to end Johan’s career after that amazing comeback?
ronnsnow
Scherzer, SALE, and Kershaw. Don’t be such a homer. Syndergaard hasn’t earned the right to be up there yet

If one game with a high pitch count ended your career, you didnt have an amazing comeback in the first place
