Whoah there...

I think 2003 Prior has to go into consideration too.

I mean, based purely on performance, Harden is the best most of us have EVER seen (remember – we didn’t have Maddux in his prime). But let’s let him keep doing it.

by SouthernCub on Aug 5, 2008 2:26 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Power versus control...different skill set.

..If Harden learns how to think like Maddux, look out….

Gamecast puts everything further back than where it is inputted

giving up runs and base hits when we’re leading by 5….why doesn’t he just nibble at the corners until he runs the count full and walks a few guys like Marquis does when we have a lead?
