This one is fairly easy for me (Blylvn/Brnger).  Blylevn is probably the 2nd best starter on the game and Brnger is arguably the best reliever on the game.

I could probably see Gooden/McDowl or Vlnzla/Bedrsn getting some votes.

I am interested as to who the more talented ATG style pitchers go for.

Tudor and a piece of garbage.  No contest for me.

Tudor and Worrell...although I'm also a big fan of the Ryan/Kerfld combo.  I love right-handed sidearm pitchers.

Gooden and Orosco (other).

Kurkow and Garrelts - funk and fire...

For being on the worst team in RBI...Ryan and Kerfeld are without a doubt the best 1-2 punch in RBI...to make it close....anyone paired with Nolan Ryan or Roger Clemens would be the best 1-2 punch as they are 2 of the most dominant pitchers.

Tudor / Dayley. Maybe it's because I'm usually playing the Mets (lots of lefties) when I have the Cards, but Tudor and Dayley are nasty.

This would also be my combo of choice, although I voted for Gooden/McDowl.

Interesting that 2 people prefer Orosco to McDowl.  Orosco has a worse sinker and all 3 pitches are slower than Mcdowl's.  Curve ability is about the same. 
Must be the fact he is a lefty?  Sidearmer?

Sidearmer.  They are tough to get used to once you put them in, it seems.  And durability... Remember, he didn't retire until the age of approx. 74.

McDowell over Orosco?  BLASPHEMY!

I voted for other in favor of Alexander/Hernandez but only because the Tigers rule house. But I usually go with a starter/starter combo in the game especially if I'm the Astros. Ryan/Scott is beyond untouchable. Gooden/McDowell have given me fits throughout the years so they would have to be up there. If Tudor pitches against me, it's usually a complete game because I'll swing at anything.

Definitely.  However, I think most people that play ATG style only allow 1 starter per game.  At least this is how it works if you play 2+ game series w/o pushing reset.

I thought for certain that this thread was about the 1-2 batters in the order

Then you must have been confused by the choices given.

I bet Robin Ventura thinks that the best 1-2 punch in RBI belongs to Ryan.

I say Key and Henke or Vlnza and Bdrsn. Sbhgn gets too tired too early.

i think ive given up more homers with henke than all other all star pitchers together.  now i refuse to use him unless absolutely necessary

I'm with Wilfong, Tudor/Dayley for me

However, I voted Bly/Ber because I'm an idiot, Bly is awesome, but Ber doesn't have enough movement to be effective and is far to easy to time. I always get lit up/light up Senor Smoke (I used his nickname since I don't remember how to spell his name...and it makes me sound cool)
