    It’s why you don’t give the farm for relievers. Heck even Diaz has been iffy.

    I’m ok with what we have up, but we definitely have talent...it was just talent that likely wouldn’t have gotten a chance here.

    It is.

    He should have 400 to 500 wins and not near 300 losses because he was awesome in that era, but would get killed in this one.

    108, I am dying laughing. Only the Cards pitcher I know would approach that.

    Yo, jackasses, I wasn't being serious, stop trying to blow this lead.

    Let them get a book on him and come back to me in about a month. Also, how could he have picked up that velo.

    Because he walked a **** ton of batters and played on some truly awful teams. In 1987 he lead the league in ERA yet went 8-16 on the year.

    This isn't hard data to find. And it isn't an opinion either. It is a mathematical fact that Nolan Ryan is one of the fastest pitchers ever. I'm not sure why you trying argue this.

    Good to see a bullpen pitcher make a pitch against a bad hitter

    Not taking sides here but isn't this pretty much the consensus on Ryan's career?

    Allard still throwing 93 in the fifth. Struck out first batter and shouldnhave gotten thesecond on weak contact but was safe on a bang bang play

    It’s comical.

    Yes, but AA has his own take on facts. They are usually entertaining.

    Greene also isn't so much a strikeout pitcher so why bring him in with a runner in scoring position? If that keeps him from using him next inning okay but still not wise.

    Are we going to see Jackson in the 9th?? He doesn't like throwing in the 9th but Snit doesn't go with players feelings very often.
    Or we see Melancon.

    Based on who?

    If you throw that hard, you learn how to pitch, that simple.

    We had plenty of pitchers that KNEW how to pitch and not RELY on strikeouts, why not he?

    His fastball would be creamed today by the hitters, it is in that era, I think the gun was off 15 mph.

    Why bother with this argument, he struck out a lot and walked a lot won a lot and lost a lot. That is who he is. I loved him as a pitcher but there is no way he would last today at all.

    and 108 mph, right? 105 we see with real radar guns.
