I’d love to see someone try to name 14 better pitchers, never mind RHP. Not saying these guys are all better, but here's the top 10 RHP off the top of my head: - Cy Young - Christy Mathewson - Grover Alexander - Walter Johnson - Bob Feller - Bob Gibson - Tom Seaver - Greg Maddux - Roger Clemens - Pedro Martinez To be honest, I'm not sure Pedro is in the top 3 of that group. Absolutely top 3 in terms of best 7-year peak but his career faded quickly. Walter Johnson was still throwing BBs at 38. Looking at bref WAR, maybe Feller doesn't belong but if he played during the war then he'd have gotten close. His 7-year peak could have been incredible. There's also those pre-1900 guys that could belong. Same with the 70s/80s folks. Verlander and Scherzer are getting close but I feel like they are still a tier below Maddux/Clemens/Pedro. Satchel Paige likely belongs in the list too. i appreciate the thoughtful nature of this post. but Clemens went to the MFY, he is dead to me.

Torres is elite at GIDP, he makes Arroyo look like a fly ball hitter

Satchel Paige likely belongs in the list too. I think when you're picking a GOAT it has to be about their prime. Like, if you could pick one guy from any era to start on your all time greats team, who would it be? For me I think that answer is Pedro. He did not have the best career of all time among SPs, but was he the best player? I think so.

Great spot to use Whitlock there. And much better results. Glad he isn’t hurt. He’s such a valuable piece when he’s right.

Lol at Volpe complaining about strike 2 Don’t forget that he’s wearing Brett Gardner’s old number. The bitchiness probably came with it.

Our bats are hibernating again smh yea, it feels weird to complain about 7 runs but i'd have preferred if the bats didn't just die after the second inning

This part of the season is so fun - was streaming Sox, Jays, Mariners games simultaneously, and got to watch Encarnacion-Strand walk off the Jays while the Sox were on commercial break
