August 9, 201114 yr ESPNChiSox Doug Padilla Sergio Santos has not allowed a run on the road in his last 28 outings (29 2/3 innings).
August 9, 201114 yr His slider is untouchable. Might be the most dominating pitch a Sox pitcher has had in our lifetime. Edited August 9, 201114 yr by fathom
August 9, 201114 yr 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

However, regarding Jose, this was right up there with my favorite game he ever threw for us: http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/media/play...b_tp350&v=2 NASTY!

They were f***ing awesome.
August 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 07:11 AM) I miss the vest jerseys. They were f***ing awesome. I agree. 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)

August 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (docsox24 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 08:47 AM) Eddie Cicotte's knuckleball. Is this based off the rare flip-o-rama, or the classic 1919 silent film accompanied by piano music?

August 10, 201114 yr 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.

August 10, 201114 yr Sergio is a real talent ansd exciting to watch. 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.

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.
