Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Give me Mets whose best pitch was the Curve, and/or those who might have a better pitch but who's who's Curve would/could be in consideration among the team's best curve-throwers, past or present.
Guest d'Kong76 Guests Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Gooden's Lord Charles comes immediately into mind.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 And Ryan's was Gooden's predecessor.I loved Neil Allen's tight, hard curveball.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 "Koosman could throw his curve any time." — J.C. MartinHis had some lateral break — more 11-to-5 than Gooden's and Ryan's straight north-to-south drop.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 When he first came up, Niese. His was more of the slower, big-breaking type.Later not so much.
Zvon Old-Timey Member Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 I was catching a few minutes of this game today, here and there. Watched the whole 9th and the fight (3:29:40). And saw Orosco in action for the first time in awhile. And I'll go with Orosco. I'm sure if I see a few other pitchers from the past they can impress me too if I go look at footage, but look at this curve Jesse throws to Eddie Milner at 3:29:05 (right before the brawl). They don't get any better than that. I will look no further.[youtube:nzs4w0id]dljM3PyIiXI[/youtube:nzs4w0id]
