Talk:Madison Bumgarner

Fastball more like 90-91 MPH
not a big deal but as any Giants fan can tell you, his fastball is typically 89-91 MPH and occasionally hits 92...check MLB Gameday of July 24th, 2010...

http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2010_07_24_sfnmlb_arimlb_1&mode=gameday

it seems he has lost a few MPH off the fastball and it looks like it could be permanent at this point... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.126.151.191 (talk) 04:50, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

What was the speed in Game Five of 2014 World Series? 99mph? It was amazing! -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 19:15, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
 * indeed, the current paragraph herein says: "Bumgarner's repertoire consists of four pitches. He features a four-seam fastball in the 90 to 93 miles per hour (145 to 150 km/h) range that tops off at 95 mph ..." -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 19:21, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

birthplace
The lead paragraph says he was born in Lenoir, but the infobox says "Hudson". Eagle4000 (talk) 18:40, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

"Bumtown"
The article says that Hickory is called "Bumtown" (sourced from a Yahoo sports aticle). But I'm from Morganton (very close by), and I've lived in this area my whole life, and I've never heard it called that. I suggest that this is an invention by the writer.
 * According to this Yahoo sports article, which seems well-researched, the nickname is for an area about 10 miles away from Hickory, and the nickname goes back 100 years. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  04:23, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

"Bumtown"
I went to high school with Madison and I have never heard of Bumtown — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.30.136.50 (talk) 17:08, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Interesting. Can you check it out? -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 19:17, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

It be called Bumtown because when Bumgarner pitch he make everyone look like bums. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.242.208.201 (talk) 12:21, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm from the same town, and I've also never heard of Bumtown. I also polled a few local historians, none of them have heard of it either. Its use may be limited to the family, or immediate residents of that neighborhood. Kel (talk) 22:48, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Can you please provide a source for this? Stickee (talk) 09:34, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Steroids
There's been speculation about him using steroids. The Kansas City media suspected it. Anyone else pick up on this? Add it to the article?2602:304:CFD3:2EE0:E918:696A:2091:36CA (talk) 01:13, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I see no discussion in any reliable sources about this. Can you link to any? Our policy on biographies of living people is quite firm that we require very solid sources for something contentious. We simply don't include random allegations or speculation. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  02:17, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Proseline
In addition to unsourced additions, the 2014 and 2015 subsections are suffering from WP:PROSELINE. Can somebody work on this? – Muboshgu (talk) 16:36, 28 August 2015 (UTC)


 * I tweaked the 2015 paragraphs a bit to help reduce the proseline. The sourcing still needs to be added and reviewed. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 17:41, 28 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Greatly appreciated. I may have time to look for sources later. This is a GA, and it needs to be kept up. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:45, 28 August 2015 (UTC)


 * The article also needs to be checked that these record-breaking events are really noteworthy. There are a lot of firsts, but also "firsts since" which aren't that notable if the year is like 2012 or if it's just some obscure intersection of stats recognized by only a few reporters, like "first pitcher to throw ten strikeouts and do a pirouette while coming off the previous week as a National League Player of the Week." AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 01:13, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Records listed in infobox
The "MLB records" section of the infobox is getting a little lengthy. Wouldn't it be better to only list major records? Like the ones he's most known for. Surely some of those would fit better in the lead rather than the infobox. Lizard (talk) 05:14, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

I'd get rid of any of the "first since" records, which aren't really setting any records, unless he tied with someone. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 18:30, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Removed tag
I removed the overly-detailed tag from the 2016 section, as that section seems to be rather trimmed. Hog Farm Bacon 05:02, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Completely incoherent almost-sentence
... which reads, in full:

"On May 19, 2011, at Dodger Stadium, in a 3–1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, Bumgarner pitched with the worst era with it being a 35.3 ERA 2009 All-Star Dodger pitcher Chad Billingsley."

I have no idea in the world what that's supposed to mean. Does anyone? 192.34.130.202 (talk) 19:35, 29 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Lord only knows what it means. It was added on May 7, 2022, by an editor who commented that they "fixed" it. :) Good eye. I restored the original wording. Larry Hockett (Talk) 20:30, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
