vanDoug Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 OK I'll start one. Even though Adam Dunn got jobbed on that bases loaded strike 3 call. 300 Ws is one of the most impressive stats to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionelRichie Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 i was at the 300th win game and had the chance to watch the press conference afterwards. johnson was extremely humble and very team focused during the presser. he talked about how he is a better pitcher today throwing 90-92 than he was throwing 96-97. he also talked a lot about helping the younger pitchers on the team - mostly from the mental side of the game. for all of the criticism he's gotten over the years he came off as a real class act.

Otter Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 It will be awhile before we see another 300 game winner. I think it's hard for Yankee fans to be happy about Randy's feat. He killed us when he was in Seattle and Arizona. When the Yanks brought him in he had pitched decently in the regular season, but he was awful in the playoffs.

AFJF Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Best thing that ever happened to RJ was getting out of the AL East and back in to the NL West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neckdemon Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 You understand why, right? beating the yanks......then coming and blowing those play-off games and pitching (ineffectively) with an injury he should have spoken up about would do it for me. the mullet is just the icing on the cake though, lol. and he was also kind've a d*ck while he was in ny.

Otter Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Lefty Grove might be the best lefthander of all time. Check out his numbers http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/grovele01.shtml Here's some more lefty's for comparison... Randy Johnson http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/johnsra05.shtml Steve Carlton http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/carltst01.shtml Warren Spahn http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/spahnwa01.shtml Sandy Koufax http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/koufasa01.shtml Rube Waddell http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/wadderu01.shtml Eddie Plank http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/planked01.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Yea, Grove's the only guy I can see argued. Carlton's close, but Johnson's '93-'04 is just sick. Only 2 seasons with an ERA over 3.50...one at 3.67 ('96) and the year he had worse back problems than usual ('03) with a 4.26. Koufax is the shyte, but fact is his peak doesn't touch Johnson's...or Pedro's btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neckdemon Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 RJ >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Koufax And Koufax is my favorite pitcher of all time. it's not as much of a no-brainer as you claim. as far as longevity, obviusly RJ wins. but koufax won 3 triple crowns, 3 cy youngs, an mvp, and he tossed 4 no-hitters (including a perfect game). he was as dominant as a pitcher can be at his peak. averaged like 20 CG and 6 SHO per/year. you may think RJ is clearly the better pitcher, but alot of people would maje the argument for koufax.....and there is a good argument. arthritis, i think, did him in......but at his peak there were few better.
