Filthiest pitch to ever be thrown from a Blue Jays uniform?

[fatcowxlive]

Wasn't there someone here that used to always makes polls too? lol

Arkadium.

 

I think this may be his return.

[Spoonovic]

Brandon Leagues splitter should be in the poll

[Daniel Labude]

I selected other....gotta be David Wells' curve ball.

[GeorgiaPeach]

I think this is about right

 

Randy, Fatcow, Orgfiller = '96

 

King = '97

 

GD = '99

 

 

I call BS on GD being 14 or 15

[GeorgiaPeach]

Not sure about filthiest pitch, but I gotta go with Rasmus for sweetest swing ever.

 

Its a shame that sweet swing doesn't translate to much.

[GD]

Turned 15 in March and I'm not sure if this is a compliment or not but unlike Angrioter I have sufficient documents to date of birth

Yeah, but if you were Ang and claiming you were 15 you'd probably actually be bald and walking with a cane.

1986 Mark Eichhorn had a nasty submarining curveball - he was 14-6 with a 1.72 ERA. 157 innings pitched all in relief 166 strike outs and a whopping 7.4 WAR. 0.955 WHIP

 

[KingKat]

Good call on Eichorn. I remember in the 1992 World Seris being dissapointed when they brought in Timlin and not him to get the final save.

[Jayzfan79]

we could add Stroman and Castro to this list.

No way. Olerud's swing is up there with Ted Williams.

 

Rasmus pretty smooth but basically a pull hitter. Olerud smooth effortless swing and used whole field

[Jimcanuck]

Jimmy Key and Duane Ward are glaring omissions

 

Ward's mid 90's FB with movement was unhittable when he was on (which was most of the time until injuries)

 

Key's changeup and control was the closest to Maddux I have seen

 

Stieb's slider for me. Some consider the best slider in baseball history

[Olerud363]

Olerud had the best swing in Franchise history. If Olerud came up today he would have had a much better career. Keep in mind how much we FAP about young players. Olerud came up at 21, 0 minor league games, was a good hitter but unnapreciated. Exploded on the league at age 24, winning the batting title. But he hit to all fields... not good, did not listen to Cito's lessons so Cito made him a platoon player in his prime.

 

At age 29 he recovered from Cito's lessons and pretty much won another batting title, set the Mets all time batting average record. (Larry Walker eeked out the batting title but that was helped by thin air)

 

Between 94 and 97 in what should have been Johny's Prime he was given "lessons" by Cito Gaston

 

Cito - "Pull that ball"

 

Johny (confused?) - wtf?? I won a batting title, I'm hitting .290 this year, I'll have a hot streak and get back to .300. I got more WARs then Joe Carter. (Nobody knew WARs then but if they did Johny could of said this).

 

Cito - "Pull that ball or else..."

 

Olerud - (singles to left)

 

Cito - "Brumfield your in for Olerud (against a right hander)

 

Beeston - "Johny's not listening to Cito's lessons, trade him Gord. Trade him for a bag of balls, the boys need to listen to Cito, the boys need to pull the ball like Joe"

[CHRIS]

Definitely Stieb's slider for me. The fact that Shawn Camp got mentioned in this thread before Stieb makes me feel really, really old.

[Jimcanuck]

Stieb's slider

That s*** was retarded.

 

Timlin's sinker

 

Marcum's changeup

 

Doc's cutter and curve

 

Clemens' 4-seamer

 

Henke's forkball

 

timlin's sinker was very effective until batter's learned to recognize and lay off it, which wasn't long

 

i have that well down the list

[Atothe]

Stieb's slider, every time I see video of that slider I get surprised he didn't strike more guys
