What pitcher would you never want to face?

[Cubswin11]

Either Nolan Ryan or Kerry Wood either at/close to his 20K game level.

[laurens]

Reed Johnson (who holds the record for most hit batsmen for an active pitcher), Kerry Wood circa 1998, Marmol and Lincecum.

I remember that when I first saw that scene I couldn't breathe from laughing so hard. It was one of those laughing fits that was actually painful.

as a lefty hitter, it would be Randy Johnson with no one else even close.

This.

 

 

Yep.

 

98, high and inside followed by that slider? As a lefty? Nope, don't want to go there.

[Gingerballs Lives]

Vincente Padilla.

 

 

A headhunter with swine flu? No thank you.

[Pushfrog98]

The Duke. He once threw at his own son in a father/son game.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Randy Wells.

Even as a righthander, I still wouldn't want to face Randy Johnson. I'd probably swing at a slider that would hit my kneecap.
