Yup. Great pitcher. Doesn't rank super well on the rate stats.

Definitely the best in his prime. His prime was shorter than all of the others t

Lol, not even close to the best in his prime. Pedro, Johnson, and Koufax all had 2 seasons better

TCuz

Oh. Cool.

JamesWestfall

I would put Nolan Ryan on your list before I put Dwight Gooden on there

RC Vikings

4/20/19 12:49am

Good call.

4/20/19 12:58am

He also had one of the worst walk rates of all time. Too wild to be considered the best. The 7 no-nos are incredible,

Yup. Great pitcher. Doesn't rank super well on the rate stats.

It’s hard to adjust properly for all the cocaine

He played on a lot of real mediocre teams, the only time his team made the

RC Vikings

You had to see him. Facing him was fearful.

That’s kind of like complaining Ty Detmer threw too many interceptions

StantonMac

4/20/19 7:44am

Not really. It’s one of the main reasons why he lost so many games.

The only argument for Maddux over Pedro (or anyone else) is longevity.

TCuz

4/20/19 1:24am

I like Pedro, where would you put Mariano Rivera on the list.

RC Vikings

4/20/19 1:33am

Wouldn’t even include Mo in the conversation because his job was so much easier than a Starting Pitcher’s

TCuz

4/20/19 1:38am

Pedro dominated like no one else at the height of the steroid era

Josef K

4/20/19 2:24am

And was an utter failure in the playoffs

macaroni

4/20/19 7:27am

Yeah, I didn’t realize how much worse his PS numbers were

Josef K

4/20/19 10:00am

Pedro sucked in the clutch...which was good for the yankees

Garn

4/20/19 4:15am

He wasn’t as bad as people want to make out. Postseason ERA: Maddux- 3.27 Pedro- 3.46

TCuz

4/20/19 10:27am

Yeah, it's clearly Kershaw or Pedro

Pedro at his best was the best I’ve ever seen

Josef K

Except when it counted.

Garn

4/20/19 4:15am

This is where Koufax separated himself

And Bumgarner.

4/20/19 11:56am

How is this a debate between anyone but GIBSON and KOUFAX??? This is insane.

4/20/19 7:27am

Clemens was incredible but he has the same taint to him that Bonds has for roids

Dynasty1

4/20/19 8:20am

Clemens was already incredible prior to steroids. Steroids just gave him a

This is a terrible take. Thanks for letting us know to ignore your baseball comments in the future

scootsy

Greg Maddux is a baseball God but I don't think he makes my top 10.

Needs to be defined. Pedro was the most dominant at his best.
