One of the greatest pitchers of the last 40 years... <iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/26fRnCj4SYQ?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0"></iframe>
:idea: :idea: In 1990, Bob Welch won 27 games for the Oakland A's. That was the most wins in a single season by any MLB pitcher since Lefty Carlton won 27 for the Phillies in 1972. It's still the most by any right-hander since Denny McClain won 31 for Detroit in 1968...
I had forgotten that. You won't see that again; pitchers don't get enough starts and managers treat them like china dolls. This new Yankee pitcher Tanaka would have an outside chance. He's a workhorse and hardly ever walks anyone.
I love that Tanaka. He's a pitcher's pitcher. He paces himself; mixes up his velocity on similar pitches; lives on the corners; and concedes nothing. He's a clinic on how to do things right...
