Greg Maddux to retire- Your thoughts?
ADVERTS 1
Greg Maddux is going to announce jis retirement on Monday.
This is big news for our baseball fans that are familiar with him.
Your thoughts on Maddux's career and legacy?"Winning big games ON THE ROAD is the signature of a clutch QB." BillD
There's more to playoff success than just winning. Sometimes, you have to go into enemy territory outside your stadium and walk the walk.

I always admired Maddux. I think he had a great career and it's a good time for him to retire.

What's he like 50? I know Maddox is a HOFer but it's crazy how long some of these guys play. I prefer to remember Maddux as a Brave or as a Cub not as the rent a pitcher who gets traded 3 times a season.

He's only 42, thats young for the steroid era players.

I too will remember Greg as a Brave ... also a Cub !

Proud Staff MemberI own a Maddux Cubs Jersey. His career is very admirable - as he doesn't have supreme talent, but works hard and is a "student of the game".
He has found ways to win with "stuff" that wouldn't get most players out of AAA.

Yeah he lived on a 6" off the outside corner of the strikezone career. Thank you for retiring.

A lot of successful pitchers did. MLB has done a tremendous job of re-establishing the integrity of the outside of the strike zone in recent years. For pitchers without great stuff, it relegates them to a lower level of success. Originally Posted by ehren

Nothing above the waist is a strike anymore.
You can't usually throw inside anymore without the batter coming out to the mound, another problem ...
Take all the body armor off these guys and I bet the pitchers would have more plate to work with.
