I'll say you're a dumbass.
RYAN
GOODEN
Tudor
Gooden
No one's ball moves like Tudor's. He's the fucking man. The master of control and just enough zip on his fastball to surprise a few people. Probably my favorite pitcher in the game.
Doc Gooden is my second favorite pitcher. I realize a lot of people will vote for Clemens and Nolan and those are good votes. Just not as good as Doc. His fastball is well above average. His ball moves like crazy and he can pitch deep into a game. And unlike the other power pitchers of RBI, his changeup is far more consistent.
Gooden and Ryan
Coke and Smoke.
OJEDA and REUSCHEL
I will probably get flamed for this, but I like control pitchers a lot better than power pitchers. Although if we were counting All-Stars I would pick Sabes and Fernando as the two best in the game. Tudor gets honorable mention.
Doc and Ryan

I don't think you deserved to get flamed for this. Pitchers are very subjective. If those guys fit your pitching style well then that's fine. I really like Sutton and Krukow too.
Blyleven - The Man
Krukow - Junk, Junk and more Junk
Clemens and Doc.
Gantry...I'm shocked a straightball player would say those two. I just assumed the flame throwers were better for straight ball!
The fast guys are typically better in straight pitch, but I was thinking from a curve perspective. We do play curve every once in awhile and the guys with the filth are the toughest for us to hit. Probably because we're used to swinging at every pitch, but they are tough as fuck...
Hard to believe I was the first to vote for either guy, they were both quite popular when the forums opened up. Where's gwynn3k and the pines crew when you need them?
I'll tell you who has some nasty shit--and I know it isn't popular to mention All Stars--but I find that Fernando has the greatest movement of all.
Fernando does have the best movement of all. His ball can move two different times. Only Tudor can do that as well if I'm not mistaken. And I mean really move two times.
Glassjoe, you're not the only Tudor fanatic. If I can get three runs with St Louie, Tudor takes care of the rest. He's fucking automatic.
VGP, I love the coke and smoke rhyme.
Id say definetly Doc, hes the man and always goes at least 7 innings. I dont like Blylevn much because i dont like slower pitchers. Id pick clemens for my second.
Hey Burnzky, good to see you! I guess Blyleven with more of a Joe (Gwynn3k) thing then. You guys still playing?
Morris and Petry.
Why? Cause I'm a Tigers Homer! ;D
I like the honesty.
Krukow and Ryan, I am biased toward the weaker teams since we tend to use them more often
I only play straight pitch, so these picks are very different, so I have to go with Sutton and Clemens. Their stamina and their decent hitting ability put them at the top of this heap.
I'm gonna go with Clemens and his partner in crime, Hurst. Yup!!!! Listed as a SP in RBI, I'll never use Hurst there. But pitching wise, I like Hurst the best amongst the rest. In relief (although contradictory to the poll), he's a stud.
Me and my brother are still playing and probably will play this weekend. For Joe, married life hasnt been able to let him play for a while.
Krukow
Tudor
Krukow never has a bad outing for me, and Tudor....well, Tudor is just the man.
#1 Clemens
#2 Krukow
Krukow finally getting some love, he can make a run!
As far as pitching, I'm cool with pretty much anyone but the Angels.
If I had to pick 2, it would be Clemens and Morris. I know there's not a lot of love out there for Jack but he always gets it done for me. Of course it's a possibility that it just seems that way with Morris b/c he always gets an ungodly amount of run support.
Scott & Gooden.
Gooden is a no-brainer, but Mike Scott deserves more respect. He has the best drop in the game & that makes every AB at least one strike shorter. I've gone 7 perfect with him, against a very good player.
Mike
