soxfaninbeverly Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Igot into an argument w/a d'backs fan over who is the better pitcher, Clemens or Randy Johnson. I of couse, said the Clemens, hands down. Clemens had 6 Cy Young awards, and is 30 K's away from joinging Steve Clarton and Nolan Ryan from 4,000 career strikeouts. Who do you guys think is the better of the two?

Jim Fainter Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 I go for the Big Unit. Clemens achieved stardom more quickly, but Randy could always finish what he started. Randy played on some s***ty teams early in his career and suffered from many blown saves. This is your basic toss up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Pre-1995: Clemens hands down. 1995-2002: Unit way, WAY hands down. Pedro is his only peer. Overall, in my time (adjusting for late 90's offensive boom that noticeably inflated pitchers ERA) Randy Johnson is simply a better pitcher, though it's hard to discount Clemens's 1997 peformance. Unit is also a superior strikeout pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iguana Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 i'd take RJ at his best over clemons. RJ just is intimidatin as hell when he is on. plus, he is kind of scary looking....looks like a rat. how would you like a 7' rat throwing 100 mph at you??!!

Mathew Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Johnson hands down. He and Shilling alone were enough to win the series. Clemons has no such claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger and anybody, couldn't touch them that year. I liked Johnson from Montreal what a freak he was in those really ugly uni's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafacosta Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Randy Johnson, he never played for the Yankees, Roger is playing and is not perfoming very well as his past like when he played for the Red Sox and Toronto. Clemens in New York, he should be a much better pitcher for a great team and he is right now the 2nd pitcher in NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
