Greg Maddux was the closest thing to a serial killer on the mound

Braves bats go notoriously quiet in the playoffs.

While they weren’t the favorite in 1994 (Montreal was) they did lose 1 postseason to the strike.

They SHOULD have beaten the Yankees in 1996. Even if that Yankees team was good, they had a 2-0 lead in the series. As much as Jim Leyritz’s home run was a huge moment, I think the real killer was Game 5. Smoltz was dominant for 8 innings and Andy Pettite pitched into the 9th of a 1-0 Yankees victory.

If Atlanta wins that game, momentum shifts and maybe they take the series.

1997 they ran into a hot Marlins team.
1999, nobody was beating those Yankees.

I think that 99 team would've lost to whoever the AL team was. If the Mets pulled off the comeback they would've lost too. That NLCS drained both teams

How did maddux glavine and smolts only win 1 ring. Sheeesh

This 1993 rotation is ridiculous

Dude was an artist. Loved watching him pitch.

Imagine getting to watch Maddux, The Big Unit, Pedro, Clemens etc pitch.

The 90's was such a GOAT era for baseball and sports in general.

 

[Ohene]

76 pitches though

wow

 

[Ohene]

He wasn’t even the best on his team

John Smoltz

 

[Po pimp]

How did the Cubs let him get away?

 

[Professor Emeritus]

man 90's early 00's baseball>>>>

My favorite era.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Is that you John Smoltz

Smoltz was a beast. It's not laughable cuz when he was in his prime his stuff was phenomenal

Maddux never had Smoltz velocity. But his longevity was amazing

 

[Street Knowledge]

He wasn’t even the pitcher I would be most scared of on that team lol.

In a big game, give me Smoltz

Last time I cared about baseball and recognized their stars.

 

[ZEupTWN]

How did maddux glavine and smolts only win 1 ring. Sheeesh

That’s baseball for you tho, so many other elements that have to align to get that chip...

 

[Joe Sixpack]

How did the Cubs let him get away?

Word.. When he became a Free Agent in 1992 it was a big deal. The Yankees wanted him bad and he straight up told them to kick rocks it was so foul

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

All facts. Him and Pedro was must see TV for baseball fans and enthusiasts. I hated Greg but I loved watching that niqqa pitch, genius.
