Greatest pitcher of all time?

Clemens sucked in Boston and Toronto? You might want to check on that.

 

if Tebow pitched, it would be he. Instead, ESPN says Strasburg, so that is who I am going with.

 

I think the no-hitters and strikeouts are blinding your judgement. I wouldn't even rank Nolan in the top my top 20 pitchers of all time.

 

nor would most

 

Didn't say they did either, I was just answering for myself. What's your top 20 if you don't mind me asking?

 

Walter Johnson

 

Tom Seaver.

I've watched him pitch probably 45-50 times, all on TV, and no other pitcher I've seen has matched his combination of power, control and finesse. His record speaks for itself.

 

If you go by record, then your selection should be Denton True Young.

I never said anything about Boston, but I don't believe he was juice-free even then.

I did have my years off a few, though. I meant the first couple of years in New York.

 

Best pitcher I ever saw was Sandy Koufax...by a considerable margin.

 

And you are taking wins and losses WAY out of context. Look at Storm Davis with San Diego. 19 fucking wins with a monster ERA.

Anyone who wouldn't rank Nolan Ryan in their top 10 is nuts.

Wins/losses and ERA are both products of the team. Sure, you have to have a little luck to pitch a no-hitter, but seven no-hitters and 12 one-hitters is more than luck.
