When the guy is healthy, I'd honestly put him #1
Keep in mind that he isn’t even using his most dominating pitch (slider) nowadays; it’s all fastballs and variations of his changeup.
Obviously, he can’t use it because it’s too much strain on his arm, but it’s pretty crazy to think about.

Mark Ellis (2B for A's) played behind all of the Big 3 (Zito, Hudson, Mulder) in their prime
and he says publicly that Rich is better than any of them. And the 3 of them agree.

I'm glad...strikeouts cause his pitch count to go up....need him to go longer today...
Let my ashes blow in a beautiful snow from the prevailing 30 mile an hour southwest wind...
When my last remains go flying over the left field wall, I'll bid the bleacher bums adieu,
And I will come to my final resting place, out on Waveland Avenue. --Steve Goodman
we do?
something happen to our bullpen while I wasn’t looking?

Yeah, it's hard confusing a Venenzuelan with a Canadian.
I mean, just last week I mistook Steve Nash for Zambrano.

He has been especially bad at foul balls and fly balls this past week or two

Though I suppose
there are some pitches he wishes he could un-throw… :D
For crying out loud, Pat!
I thought that ball was in Murphy’s beer garden. Sheesh!

i'm confused...
that’s not my name, nor am i a woman… but ok. the 12 pitch thing was sarcastic, hence “settling in” after 7 hits and 6 runs
Nevermind.
