he was extremely smart, he had great control, benefited from an expanded strike zone
i think it was in an interview on lebatards show where he said by the end of his career he could literally hit the catchers glove without it moving 9/10 times
cool story about maddux from the padres broadcast crew:"Maddux would have relatively highly attended bullpen sessions between starts. A number of fans would come early to certain games just to watch him throw a bullpen. During these bullpens, sometimes someone in the bullpen would throw a towel over the catchers mask to put on a show for the fans. The bullpen coach would give the catcher a heads up when the ball was about halfway to the plate so he can catch it. Maddux would hit the catcher's mitt every time."

This plot isn’t the final location of the ball; it is the movement of the pitch compared to a pitch thrown without spin. Also, negative x values mean the ball is breaking in toward a right-handed batter. Now you can see the beauty of the Glavine change. It has exactly the same movement as his fastball does; the only difference is in the speed of the pitch. No other pitcher has a change so similar to his fastball. Because of the smaller speed differential, Glavine’s change is going to produce more weak balls in play than strikeouts at this point, but he still can be effective with it. This is borne out in the counts in which he uses it.

. I woulda fired Bobby Cox after the '96 Yankee debacle in the World Series. The most overrated coach of all time.The braves are the best team with the fewest pennants.
