We traded for clowns.
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

Greene gave him one down the middle he fouled...
i don't want to see Greene in the 9th!
The pitch Castro hit wasnt even a bad pitch, but jesus, making this way too interesting than it needs to be.

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

Can we have someone we didn’t trade for pitch the 9th?

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

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.
