Re: Some big Nolan Ryan Sells lately..
My top 10, in order, just based on numbers; Clemens Maddux Johnson Seaver Palmer Gibson Verlander Blyleven Carlton Ryan Honorable mention; Marichal Kershaw Martinez Pedro was the "best" of them all but with under 3,000 Innings pitched, I left him off the top 10. He had 5 full seasons where he had an ERA+ of 200 or above.… -
Re: Some big Nolan Ryan Sells lately..
and there is the game back in 74 when Ryan threw 235 pitches against the Red Sox!!! can you imagine that today! that is 2 1/3 games worth of pitches for a modern starter. -
Re: Some big Nolan Ryan Sells lately..
Speaking of Marshall, who was the reliever in the 70's that had an18-1 record. Didn't win the cy young though. -

Re: Some big Nolan Ryan Sells lately..
Voters got #1 correct with Saberhagan in 1985 IMHO Stieb was Bert's equal that year less shutouts and k's but much lower ERA and better ERA+ and he helped his team make the post season. As for 1984 Stieb was totally ripped off in finishing 7th. Again Bert and him were close but again I feel Stieb was superior. Willie H.… -
Re: Some big Nolan Ryan Sells lately..
ABSOLUTELY! As a Twins fan I never liked facing Stieb during the 1980's. Dave got a late start to his career at the age of 24, this hurts him a LOT. he also was pretty much done at 33. Compare him to Blyleven who was looked at (still looked at?) by many as a borderline HOFer, or not even deserving. Seasons with 200+… -
Re: Some big Nolan Ryan Sells lately..
I don’t like pitch count of starters today. I read back in the 1960s that Milwaukee and San Francisco were locked in a scoreless battle until the 14th inning with the final score 1-0…and Warren Spahn and Juan Marichal pitched the entire game! Give me starters like that, please. -
Re: Some big Nolan Ryan Sells lately..
Walter Johnson would be my #1 if I went back that far. I think he was bringing it around 100MPH. I saw a great show on Netflix called "Fastball" really well done. 370 innings in a season 4 times! Right handed sidearm pitcher. 10 year stretch from 1910-1919 his ERA+ was 183. Averaged 342 Innings per year. For his career, he… -
Re: Some big Nolan Ryan Sells lately..
Incredible, did he win that game? I think Ryan's "problem" was inconsistency. In the book "The Umpire Strikes Back" author and former Major League umpire, Ron Luciano says when Nolan had control of his curveball, he was basically unhittable. When he couldn't get it over the plate hitters could sit on his fastball and had…
