Greg Maddux

Um, he's clearly the f- best fit for a Jordan Walker-esque career path.

The thing is, um, and I, I, I come to this a lot when like old-timey baseball people are like, "Why doesn't everybody pitch like Greg Maddux?" And it's like, well, if you've got one example of an outlier, that probably means that that guy was doing something that nobody else can do.

Like i- if you've got...

Well, like there hasn't been a this year's Christian Yelich since Christian Yelich.

We don't need to be playing at 100 miles an hour and throwing everything, you know, like with Greg Kimball.

Sometimes we've got to paint it on the black like Greg Maddux.

How about that? So I think he's got to find some of that in this game, and he's certainly going to have to find it this week.

I guess Ohio State.

fact that the...

I was kind of tongue-in-cheek with Greg Maddux, but look at his whip.

Look at how he's able to pinpoint a change-up, a sinker, a cutter, on the edges...

Pretty much wherever he wants.

Tomorrow night, Steve Praxel pitches for New York.

Greg Maddux will be on the mound for the Atlanta Braves, going for his 18th win.

A little bit outside, two balls and no strikes.

Mike Piazza waiting on deck.

It kind of got the Mets from the somber mood they were in and Sent them into a celebratory Mode there's the 1-1 pitch swing and a miss one and one kind of a broken dam you might say for this team and Came out a little bit more inspired the next day as they wind up sweeping that three-game series in Pittsburgh Wanted to the Piazza with Ventura on deck the outfield a couple of strides toward right Marquis delivers fastball just off the outside corner.

He almost had two balls and two strikes and Tomorrow night we join you with Mets Extra at 6.30. First pitch at 7.10. Steve Traxell for the Mets.

Greg Maddux for the Braves.

And then Sunday at 1.10, Al Leiter against Tom Glavin.

One ball and one strike.

One thing about Greg Maddux, every year he's going to win from 18 to 21 games.

I

think he's only won 20 once, right?

Rand-, um, you can go Pedro, if you're, if you're, if you're that kind of guy and have a soft spot.

Greg Maddux.

See-

What about someone like Cy Young?

just like you, I think you really think it's important that sort of the further along we get in appreciating pitching for what it is or what it was, the less velocity matters.

And one player I've been looking at lately, not for a million cars, but for a couple, is Greg Maddux.

I love watching the movement on his pitches, going back and just watching his games on YouTube or wherever I can find him.

And just the way his 90-mile-per-hour fastball would just break left, break right, and the precision that he had.

I think they're going to be aggressive against the run.

I'm curious if Wiggins knows that, anticipates that, and they use kind of the quick passing game to set up the run later, you know, kind of like the Greg Maddux pitching, kind of pitch backwards a little bit.

I wonder if they do that to kind of loosen that up a little bit.

Because I do think the biggest advantage for A&M in this game is their wide receivers against the Arizona State secondary.
