Ranked them 1-3 based on their careers in their prime? Maddux, Johnson, Pedro

[duckbutta]

maddux's dominance was like floyd mayweather...the stats don't tell everything. he'd routinely throw shutouts in under 100 pitches...if a game started at 7 it'd be over before it got dark

I mean...it's called "The maddux" for a reason...

So what's a Maddux?

p*ssy ass pitchers now can't even consistently throw 7 innings without needing Tommy John surgery...

Maddux might run your entire lineup pockets by himself in under a 100 pitches and not give up a run doing it...

I have to stan every black pitcher in baseball and i can remember games when Edwin Jackson had thrown 85 pitches in 4 and 1/3 rd...

Him, and Galvine were about as automatic as you can get. ..

Braves arguably had one of the best pitching rotations ever.

Yeah, they hit the lotto with Maddux, Glavine & Smoltz. Those were cold white boys... Then you had David Justice, Fred McGriff, and Chipper Jones providing the run support. Shocking that they didn't win more....

For those talking about the steroid era and Pedro. Remember, he pitched for the AL Red Sox. Most the sluggers- Bonds Sosa McGuire- were in the NL

ARod? Manny? Big Hurt? Giambi ? Carlos Delgado? Nomar? Thome?

And he faced 9 batters instead of 8. Stop trying to dismiss greatness.

Pedro in the '99 All-Star game

i remember when he was on the Expos, had a perfect game going into the 10 inning

Anyone who doesn't have Pedro at number one is an idiot. 1999-2000 might be the best 2 year stretch in the history of pitching.

I'll leave this video as my last post in this thread. Those who were living in NYC remember this day...the whole city was going wild as the game was going on. I could not explain it to those who were not there. All bodegas were showing the game and people outside watching the GAWD do what he did to the yankees.

This is what Pedro was doing to the YANKEES, just a SINGLE mistake HR by Chilli Davis and that would have been a no hitter with 17 strikeouts against the monster yankees of the 90's

I will still never fathom how he threw so hard with that lanky frame

Mechanics.
Lots of lanky guys threw very hard.

Gooden
Randy Johnson
Guidry
Pedro
Koufax

In HS I threw 87.
A football player I knew was strong as shyt and was clocked at 71 at his best.

Can't forget about Steve Avery and Mark Wohlers at closer. I wasn't even 10 and I remember that whole team.
