![]() ![]() ![]() WRT Rice, who do you put above him at WR? Football is so different than basketball and hockey, since you only play one way and have one primary skill set, so you pretty much have to do comparisons position-by-position. At their respective positions, who do you put above Russel at center? MAYBE Kareem (I wouldn't)? If you were building an all-time basketball team and you had the first pick, most would probably pick Jordan, with a sizable minority picking Russel. I agree with Jordan, but there are many that would put Russel above him because of the rings they both dominated their eras. And to he's been a classy, nice guy the whole way to boot. His job is more limited, he's that same insane impossible total anomoly in the sport. If you want to put it in Hockey terms, ignoring defense/offense and just talking about how far a player is above other players, he's Gretzky. What's more, where most fantastic pitchers have 3-5 pitches to fool the batter, Mariano basically uses one pitch really really well. In the history of baseball, no one has come remotely to the level of success he's had in that role, either in the regular season or the playoffs. His job is to shut the door on a game - basically be an automatic win if you're up with 5 on the clock, if you will. Mo isn't a starter, he actually only comes on at the very end of games his teams are winning. In order to get players out, though, the pitcher has to throw not only hard but cleverly in order to fool batters into getting themselves out, and that means the job is fucking exhausting. ![]() Other position players act as their safety net, executing mostly easy plays based on what the pitcher does and sometimes bailing the pitcher out. 2023 StandingsĬlick a team's logo to visit their subreddit National League West news rumor opinion analysis trivia Serious image video gif game thread feature notice misleadingĪround the Horn general discussion thread - June 14, 2023 ![]() Welcome to /r/Baseball!
