soupslam1 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I never though anyone would break Gehrig’s record, but Ripken did. I suspect someone will eventually break DiMaggio’s record. I think the longevity record would be hardest to break. Is any active player even close? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawlorfaithful Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Nobody is ever catching DiMaggio. Maybe with the DH someone could make a run at Ripken. Both are probably unbreakable at this point with the way the game is taught and managed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyobraska Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Only way someone catches DiMaggio is if they change the rules and makes it easier on hitters. Too much K or HR at bats for that type of consistency 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crixus Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I consider Joltin' Joe's streak to be unbreakable. On another note, back in April I predicted a 110 win season for the Dodgers. My brother in law mocked me, he's a Padres fan. The Dodgers got win 108 tonight @ San Diego, so 110 (or more) with 6 games to play is looking like a lock. Go Blue! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I think the hitting streak is plausible to break though unlikely. Strikeouts, wins, consecutive games, losses all seem unlikely with how they treat players and how they are developed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is touching Cy or Walter Johnson. 250 wins might as well be 350 nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is anywhere near close to the Iron Man record. The closest ended earlier this year at around 500 games, and the next closest had a little over 200.

ziggy29 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Pretty much no stat accumulation record on the pitching side (with the possible exception of saves) is remotely in play in today's game. 200 wins is the new 300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Did I hear a WOOSH? Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Somebody would intentionally walk a guy all game before letting them get that record now. Go Braves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants fan here (but my wife and in-laws are big Dodgers fans so I have been subjected to a LOT of games over the years), this Dodgers team is one of the best TEAMS I have ever seen. They just find ways to win, and it isn't limited to any player or even style. They win every way you can win. It is just amazing. I will be rooting for them and would be shocked if they didn't go all the way this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
