EL COHETE / THE ROCKET

The most difficult position to enter the hall of fame in major league baseball is that of the pitcher, because their performances are limited only from the mound, and there is nothing else to prove than their ability to win games, or rather their way of keeping their team in the game, In the case of a starting pitcher, in the case of a reliever, preserving an advantage, either adverse or in his favor, and in the case of a closer, trying to finish games when your team is ahead and your opponent is reluctant to lose a game in his last chance at bat.

PORQUE NO SON CONSIDERADOS.? PARTE II / BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT CONSIDERED? PART II

Maybe many have their favorite pitchers in this sport, there are several who have gone through this game that have left an indelible mark, but what Roger Clemens did despite all the controversy in which his professional career has been involved by the use of banned substances, we can not overlook his performances from the mound, which for better or worse were very good and I think in particular that he can not be singled out as harshly as it was done, to leave him out of the 10 game, we can not overlook his performances from the mound, which for better or worse were very good and I think in particular that you can not point out so hard as he did, to leave him out in the 10 opportunities he had, being these allowed for any player, to be elected to enter the temple of the immortals.

The trend to enter the Hall of Fame, now in this case for a pitcher is to have exceeded 3000 thousand strikeouts and reached at least 250 wins or more, and of course a championship ring, being this the case of Clemens, because he obtained all these achievements, even more, but he has been left out, why? if his talent and conditions have always been those of a pitcher of the characteristics shown in the field since his beginnings back in the 80's, strength, determination in his deliveries, and a fork ball and a split-finger straight, which made these pitches transcend in this game for a long time, and were the ones that helped him to be who he was in the big leagues.

In all the teams in which he was, he showed what he was made of, both with the Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees and Houston Astros, witnessed seasons of at least 20 games won, this is no coincidence, and shows the talent he had, regardless of the circumstances and the league, since at no time lost the goal, which was to impose records that would help their respective teams, to always be in competition while he is opening the games.

Desde que inició en su ámbito profesional, las cualidades eran sobresalientes, pero porque es juzgado.? muchos afirman que el jugador, utilizó sustancias prohibidas, para mejorar su resistencia dentro del juego, pero otra pregunta seria, esto influyó en sus números.? cualquier aditivo que sea para ser más resistente, en el caso de los lanzadores, te dará más oportunidad de permanecer en el partido, es decir, actuarás por espacio de mas entradas, si es cierto, hay ventaja en cuanto al resto, pero eso no te garantiza a que vas a ponchar más, no gracias a eso vas a ganar un juego o serás mejor que los demás, es simplemente que tendrás más resistencia pero sin esa garantía, para lograr todo eso que tiene que ver con el juego, que son los ponches y las victorias debes tener un talento propio.

Since he started in his professional career, his qualities were outstanding, but why is he being judged? many claim that the player used prohibited substances to improve his stamina in the game, but another serious question is, did this influence his numbers? Any additive that is to be more resistant, in the case of pitchers, will give you more opportunity to stay in the game, that is, you will act for more innings, if it is true, there is an advantage over the rest, but that does not guarantee that you will strike out more, no thanks to that you will win a game or be better than the others, it is simply that you will have more resistance but without that guarantee, to achieve all that has to do with the game, which are the strikeouts and victories you must have a talent of your own.

While those substances, which he denied ever having consumed, helped him in the final part of his career to be, if I can say so, more resistant to last longer in the commitments, could have helped him in such a case in the innings pitched, but for everything else achieved, it was mere talent, between intelligence and rotation in his arm when throwing balls home, because if it had been such help, his talent and performances since the beginning of his career should be questioned, which I see it totally meaningless, because since his beginnings he was always a great pitcher.

The key for a pitcher is his intelligence in the mix of his deliveries, it is that mental game between him, the circumstance and the batter to carry out the necessary deliveries, with the correct location to make it out, or by way of the strikeout or making it fail in any way, I do not believe that there is a substance that makes you smarter than others, for better or worse as I said before, I think Roger Clemens has his merits and it was somewhat unfair that he has not been taken into account for his entry into this place so important for any player with the respective numbers.
