Show 83 - Philly Sports Talk Now! talks with Cy Young Winner Mike Marshall

Play this show now!

Show 83 brings a special guest, Dr. Mike Marshall. Mike came on the show to talk about pitching and his method of trying to help pitchers with not getting arm injuries. We talk about the great baseball of the 1970's as well. Mike talks about Cole Hamels and what he thinks about his pitching, and the comparison with the great Steve Carlton.

The Phillies open the second game of the series with the Washington Nationals, this time with Cole Hamels on the mound. The Phils also added to the bullpen, Rudy Seanez, a 16 year career pitcher who was with the Dodgers last year. Seanez was great last year, but I wonder why the Dodgers released him in Spring training? He's 39, just about the average age of a Philadelphia closer. Can't they find anyone young?

Listen to the show, and listen to the great Dr. Mike Marshall!

        Our next show features one of the greatest relief pitchers from the 1970's and early 1980's, Dr. Mike Marshall. He'll be joining us to talk about his method of pitching that he says will help eliminate pitchers having arm problems like they encounter today.

         Here's a passage from Wikipedia on Dr. Marshall:

           Marshall won the National League Cy Young Award in 1974 as a member of the Dodgers as well as being named the NL Pitcher of the Year by The Sporting News. He was a member of the National League All Star Team in 1974 and 1975. Marshall was also named Fireman of the Year by TSN with three different teams: in the NL in 1973 with the Montreal Expos and 1974 with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and a third time in 1979 in the American League with the Minnesota Twins (sharing the award with Jim Kern).

Marshall led his league in games pitched four times, saves three times, and games finished five times. He is the major league record holder for most appearances (games pitched) in one season with 106 in 1974, 12 more than the next highest total.

Marshall attended Michigan State University, earning three degrees, including a Ph.D. in kinesiology.

Marshall teaches and advocates a pitching method he developed that he "believes could completely eradicate pitching-arm injuries" [1]
