He wasn’t the best, but he was absolutely my favorite pitcher
He was the best Smoltz ever.

Better starter, closer and playoff performer than Eckersley, GOAT accordion player and one of the best non professional golfers of all time

The only knock I have against Smoltz is he should have just retired instead of going to Boston and St Louis for his final season where he sucked. It was clear he was done his last injury filled season as a Brave.
But I’ll always love him as a player. Him throwing sidearmed in the 99 World Series because his arm was hurting so bad was badass, and now pitchers get extra days off for hangnails
Eck had a better mullet, doe.

Eck was a pussy bitch. Never saw him pitch sidearmed so he could keep pitching through an injury and then have major surgery in the offseason
at least Eck never put Ketchup on his socks for sympathy.

But he did give up a homer to some one legged peckerwood
His effort in the 2004 ALCS was good, but I feel like it overshadows his entire 2001 postseason... Schilling was ridiculous that year.
My favorite picture was Doyle Alexander ... you're welcome!!!
NLDS G1: 9 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 K
NLDS G5: 9 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 9 K
NLCS G3: 9 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 12 K
WS G1: 7 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 8 K
WS G4: 7 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 9 K
WS G7: 7.1 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 9 K
Couple things:
Went at least 7 in every start
Never gave up more than 2 runs
The D-Backs only lost one of those games (they were winning when he exited Game 4, the bullpen blew it in the 9th)
He pitched on 3 days rest *twice* in the WS
