Greatest pitcher of all time

[The Derski]

Best I ever personally saw was Greg Maddux.

He defines the word "pitcher" to me.

He also defines 6 foot strike zone.

The fact that he got a big strike zone, knew it and exploited it makes him better. If the other pitchers wanted the same, they should have built up a reputation of having incredible control. He had to earn that big strikezone

Randy - greatest lefty

Are you kidding, that bird killer. That's his legacy

Satchel Paige

Roger Clemens.

Fight me.

Never was a fan, still think Mike Piazza is a bitch for not charging the mound when Clemens slung the piece of broken bat at him.

Fuck that roid user

I pretty well assume everyone was on roids other than maybe Frank Thomas and Greg Maddux.

His control was elite. No denying that. Speaking of Maddux, I watch this video every now and then because it’s so funny.

Imagine if professor Maddux used roids

You think scrawny Pedro did?

I think Maddux using roids would have hurt him more than helped.

There’s been plenty of scrawny guys busted. I won’t throw out a down right accusation, but I wouldn’t be surprised. Chipper Jones is my all time favorite player, and I assume he was using.

I for one, am disappointed. Thought the "Greatest Pitcher" thread was in the NSFW forum ...

Yeah,him and Glavine used to be annoying as hell but you can't really blame them. If an umpire calls a strike that's a few inches outside and you're good enough to keep hitting that spot, you're a great pitcher. Plus like you said, when in doubt the umpires go by reputation. But it works that way for hitters too.

Nolan Ryan

Ryan might be the greatest pitcher. That's up for debate.

What's not? Is that you're the greatest catcher.

... of dicks in your ass.






I knocked that one straight out of the ball park, huh?

 

[broncosmitty]

Randy was the most dominant pitcher I’ve seen with my two eyes. Second most dominant player I’ve ever seen to Bonds.

Can't really disagree, but Pedro and GM were right there.

My Uncle tells a funny story of Maddux' dog dying of obesity.



Something, something, it never got walked.

Some gem vids with Maddux...who can forget this one:

Walter Johnson and Warren Spahn top the list for me. If Sandy Koufax could have stayed healthy.....................

 

[Battlelyon]

Lol, hitter had no chance

Just bc they are scrawny doesn't mean they weren't using some kind of PED's to increase for example stamina. That being said, I'm not one of those guys that thinks most or all top level talent was using. That's just nonsense imo
