Only pitcher in MLB history with 300 wins, 3000 strikeouts, and fewer than 1000 walks.

Greg Maddux.

1. I was guessing Steve Carlton

Greg was a helluva player.

2. hot a friendly strike zone from a lot umps

I'll never forget the world series against the Indians. The TV broadcast showed Maddux's pitch as 3-4 inches off the plate but the ctahcer didn't move his glove from set up and it was a called strike.

On the split screen, they showed the Cleveland pitches in the same location or tighter to the plate called as balls. (including several over the black)

He was the beneficiary of some bad umpiring --- he was still great -- but wonder what would have happened if they actually called the legit strike zone on him.

3. Please don't remind me

I’m an Indians fan from way back.
Well, I suppose we’ll have to get used to saying “Guardians” now.

5. Me too -transplanted to that part of Ohio for college and first job and adopted Indians

Except when they played the Reds (my hometown team).

It did make me sick.

Yes, robostrike zone would really help.

4. Once he got that outside pitch...

...he would throw it over and over again and dare the ump to call it a ball.

He really was amazing how consistent he was and how he could manipulate an umpire behind the plate.

Another good argument for the Robo Strike Zone technology...
