fathom Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) His slider is untouchable. Might be the most dominating pitch a Sox pitcher has had in our lifetime. Edited August 9, 2011 by fathom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Still go with the Contreras forkball (05-06) and Loaiza cutter in 2003 on that score. McDowell forkball/splitter as well. Jason Bere "foschball" Takatsu "frisbee"....joking, at least he was fun to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere amongst the catch-all there's an ESPN post suggesting that Sergio's slider is the most dominant single pitch in MLB this year.

Did anyone else notice the advertisements for Sunday Night Baseball last week when we played the Yankees- the do the side by side of a representative player from each team and our pic was of Paulie... wearing the vest jersey. Is that really their most recent photo of having the Sox on ESPN...? (veiled attempt to disguise my hatred for ESPN) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hoyt Wilhelm knuckleball has to be up there somewhere for consideration in this category. Even the Charlie Hough knuckleball... Let's see, Goose Gossage fastball in the early 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Sergio is a real talent ansd exciting to watch. Plus he is still learning to pitch IMO at the big league level.

Plus he is still learning to pitch IMO at the big league level. Imagine what he will be like in the future. That ought to scare a lot of teams. That is the most amazing part to me. The guy has been so consistent, outside of getting a tired arm at expected times. For a guy who is new to this, he never seems to lose the arm slot or the zone, especially when compared to guys who have been doing this almost all of their lives.
