Good question J-man. Most of 'em can't even lay down a sacrifice bunt anymore.

It just irritates the piss out of me to see all these multi-millionaires who can't even perform simple, basic, fundamental baseball tasks.

Woody Williams can rake it

Journeyman · Jul 25, 2003

Back in the day...Who could really hit Vini?

I know Palmer was decent, Cuellar and McNally each hit postseason grand slams ...

Babe Ruth.

8isenough · Jul 25, 2003

Orel hersheiser was pretty good wasnt he?

Chris@OlympicSports · Jul 25, 2003

Darren Dreifort was a great hitter in college

joeybagadonuts · Jul 25, 2003

Rick Rueshel (sp?) When he played for the Giants. I can remember seeing him hit a couple of long blasts at Candlestick....

Jose Canseco.

He was, albeit briefly, an MLB pitcher

I will go with Dontrelle Willis........

PatrickMcIrish · Jul 25, 2003

Yeah Willis hit a nice shot tonight.

Is it me or does it seem like usually in the past the Braves always had decent hitting pitchers.

PatrickMcIrish · Jul 25, 2003

I guess best hitter of all time (who pitched) would be Babe Ruth right? He broke in as a pitcher until they saw what kind of lumber he had.

sledge · Jul 25, 2003

Babe Ruth would have to be it......

Haven't seen ya in a while McIrish hope your doing good..........

SSI · Jul 25, 2003

babe all time,, mike prior right now..

PatrickMcIrish · Jul 25, 2003

Sledge - thank you sir, good to speak to you again. Didn't know you posted here, don't be a stranger.

BTW do you have Florida too, is that why that hit from Willis looked so good?

sledge · Jul 25, 2003

Yes I do Pat......

I really never post here but thought I would come by and give you a holler....

I will be going to some Bucs games this year so maybe I will catch you there....

I also really love ""Ybor Tity"""I mean city

Brewers Brooks Kieschnick this year; .362 average, 17 hits, 47 ABs, eight runs, a double, four homers, 7 RBIs, three walks, .638 slugging percentage, .400 on-base percentage

Journeyman · Jul 25, 2003

Brooks Kieschnick , this guy has killed me a few times OUCH!

wilheim · Jul 25, 2003

Red Sox had a guy named Rick Wise in the 70's who used to pinch hit regular. Tonight the Cub's Carlos Zambrano, hitting .238 on the year hit a two run, two out homerun off Wade Miller to tie the Cubs-Astros game at 3 to 3 in the top of the seventh. Dusty Baker let him hit losing 3 to 1 and it paid off big. Cubs went on to win when Moises Alou hit another two run shot in the 8th.

wil.

PS. I had the friggin Astros.

best pitchers, that play posisiton is Ryan Klesko, Ryan threw 95 before hurting his arm his jr yr in high school. Best hitting pitcher was Ron Guidry but he played in the American leauge so never batted.
