Nolan Ryan

I get it.

You know, Nolan Ryan was one of my favorites, Bob Gibson, you know.

It-- You had to have a fastball.

Vida Blue.

I get it.

You know, Nolan Ryan was one of my favorites, Bob Gibson, you know.

It...

You had to have a fastball.

Just-

Nolan Ryan never made the playoffs, do he?

Oh, he never won a Cy Young.

Dude, which is still mind-blowing.

I haven't seen anything like this.

Nolan Ryan, who pitched more innings and had more strikeouts, but at this point in his career, he didn't have – well, Nolan started real young, but his first couple years, he didn't have this kind of control.

This guy just peppers the strike zone and attack, attack, attack.

So – The Miz, when I think of this year, it's going to be – he kind of – it was like his unveiling.

Ray Washburn pitching for the Cardinals.

Nolan Ryan for the New York Mets.

1-0 Mets at the end of one and a half.

Later on this afternoon, San Francisco is at Los Angeles.

Over in the National League, the New York Mets lead the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 at the end of four innings at Shea Stadium in New York.

Ray Washburn started for St. Louis.

And Nolan Ryan for the Mets.

That is the only National League game underway.

It took Greg Maddux to his fifth full year in the majors before he got his walk rate less than 6.7%.

I'm not saying this is like a Nolan Ryan fastball and Greg Maddux control, but it's trending in that direction.

He has been, the Miz has been the story of the season in my book.

Yeah, an average fastball velo between those two guys, there's probably a difference of what, seven, eight miles per hour? And so for Mizorowski to, to have that sort of command, I mean, that's unbelievable.

I don't totally believe these numbers.

I think they've changed the way that they measure speed, because I've never seen anyone throw harder than Nolan Ryan.

Right.

And all these guys are 5 to 10 miles faster than Nolan Ryan.

Are you calling out the radar gun?

I've called it out many times before.

It's not just where they're measuring the ball.

I mean, listen, that is, it's fire, and they all throw it like this.

He wrote for the Daily News.

He wrote an article about a week before Seaver got traded that there was jealousy between Nolan Ryan's wife, Ruth Ryan, and Nancy Seaver, Tom Seaver's wife.

He wrote a big article about that.

And what I have come to understand is when Seamus saw that, he said, get me out.

And that's everybody.

From...

Nolan Ryan.

Right.

I still have East Coast National 92 Stadium Club cards in my collection.

Sheffield, Nolan Ryan, the Manta reprints that she used to do.

But I was looking at an old Beckett.

There was like 200 shows a weekend, 92, 93, 94.
