Bulk Pitchers
With the increasing invasion of analytics and shifts, the bullpen game has gained acceptance. Ideally I suppose a team should have 11 pitchers for a perfect bull pen game, one for each inning and a couple to fill in for those that cannot complete an inning, but that’s not feasible. So the bullpen game requires a pitcher who can pitch more than one inning, perhaps even three or four, so we need new jargon. Enter the bulk pitcher. Bulk can be defined by innings pitched or the length of his belt. This thread needs cards, so show us your bulk pitchers.
Also add a comment about their worthiness for the Hall of Flab. I nominate Bartolo Colon to get the ball rolling.

Framber Valdez went 8 strong the other day, so it can still be done.
Here is Young Cy, listed at 5' 10" and 170, he looks heftier in this one...

Freddie Fitzsimmons. His unfortunate nickname says it all.

By today's standards (at 6'4" 215 lbs.) his size is rather pedestrian. Maybe even svelte. But the Boys of Summer were much smaller back then, and he makes it into this tread on name alone...

I remember Sid Fernandez being large and in charge, for the first 6 innings of a game anyway. Then he'd fall apart pretty quickly after that. I wonder if that had been different had he not carried around that spare tire.

How can we forget the tragic story of Hideki Irabu, who passed away at age 42, and his nickname bestowed by The Boss, the Fat "blankety-blank" Toad.

Can't wait to see a good John Kruk picture. He used to say "I'm not an athlete, I'm a baseball player".

Denton, or "Old Cy", was listed at 6'2" 210. I think it was similar to today when soccer fans speak of "Ronaldo". They could be talking about Cristiano or Luis Nazario de Lima.

He's nowhere close to the hulking obesities of the 21st Century, but as rail-thin kids and Cardinal fans in the 1960s,
we reviled Lolich as "that slimy tub of goo." Respect now, though -- twelve consecutive seasons 200+ innings, including seven consecutive 240+ IP, including four consecutive 300+ IP, including  376 IP in '71...

Hefty lefties with an edge over weighty righties so far in nominations...
Much more "rangy" than "rotund," Warren Spahn must qualify by the "innings pitched" standard -- sixteen seasons 250+ IP, seven of 290+, twice with more than 300...

That card of the Reuschel brothers is great. There's a trivia question in those brothers (let's leave out the "heaviest pair of pitching brothers as an answer).
Broxton - not only did he save a few games, but he always saved a bit of room for dessert. fat broxton.jpg

I also think they have it wrong on the card, names are reversed because Rick was #48 and fairly decent, Paul not so much.

Forgot about Broxton, he was a big boy.
"Royals lefty Tim Collins is listed at 5-foot-7, 165 and fellow left-hander Everett Teaford is listed at 6-feet and 165 pounds, while new reliever Jonathan Broxton is listed (listed, mind you, is usually an optimistic number) at 6-4, 300 pounds. Put all those facts together, add a pair of pants, a smartphone and a Twitter account, and you get hilarity." Last edited by Shoeless Moe; 10-24-2021 at 10:26 AM.
