Well I'm not smart enough to defend a Javy Baez- Ricky Henderson comp. 

Glad to see you are still over sensitive and quickly devolve to personal insults.  Good to know old faithful is still right on schedule.

Cubs can’t beat the Reds.
Reds can’t beat the Brewers.
Brewers can’t beat the Cubs.

This is why the Cardinals have the best division record.

When he learns to stay off a slider, he could be in the HOF. 

Ricky Henderson may be a comp for him.

Couldn't easily get this at the time, but Alexei Ramirez is a much better comp, on the slide.  Ricky doesn't apply in any way.

The OP asked who the comp is on "the best slider ever"?  How does Ricky not apply in any way?  And Alexei Ramirez does?

That's easy ... White Castle!

Seriously, not a single one of us knows who the best slider ever is. I mean, maybe it was Jumpin' Joe Dugan, Earle Combs or somebody else from a zillion years ago.

Only at 2AM for the Castle.

If a HOF voter doesn't have a criteria, then this Scoop puzzle is unsolvable.  Ricky used the head first slide with aplomb.  I do remember Greg Luzinski employing it one time on a wet day and getting stuck in a mud puddle about five feet in front the base.

Alexei compares to Baez.  Not the best slider ever. 

If you are saying Ricky is the best ever and in no way compares to Baez, I can't argue with that at all.

Also both the Brewers and Cubs are among 7 teams that have reportedly made offfers for Machado, with the Dodgers currently having made the most attractive offer.

Did I defend a Baez-Henderson comp? Please show me where I did that. I'll be waiting.

I'm not over-sensitive.  Somehow, as an over-sensitive Sox fan, you seriously think that one fan base clearly has the market cornered on dumb comments. That, in and of itself, is extremely stupid.

I'm sorry you're surrounded by fans of what is now a much better franchise.

Ty Cobb was a great slider...spikes high.

Pete rose, also a good slider for a slow block guy

You jumped on me when I called it out (understanding now that I misinterpreted what the poster meant).  Seemed like you were rushing in like his knight in shining armor.  There to defend all Cub fans at all times you noble gentleman you. 
I don't think cub fans have the market cornered.  I said that explicitly.   There are just more baseball illeterate cub fans than in any other fan base I have encountered.   The giant bar atmosphere, the little teddy bear, and the former lovable loser mantra lends itself to bandwagoners and hangers on like no other.  People who don't watch or care about baseball in northern Illinois are almost without fail, "cub fans". 

And yeah, I am, in a way, surronded by Cardinal fans.  So I guess you could be right there. 

I made the choice years ago to cut cub fans out of my life entirely.   Best decision I could have made.
