Obviously I couldn't include every badass performance on here, but these were some of my favorites over the years

I remember watching Strasburg's debut and to this day it's still the most impressive debut I've ever seen from any player.

Thank you for including Bumgarner's epic World Series finish. I'll never forget it, and I never get tired of seeing it!

[lobcity]

MadBum with the greatest pitching performance in World Series history in my opinion!

[ramtrucks]

Tigers had verlander and scherzer crazy

[jesustorres]

Where’s Tim Lincecum performance at game 5 of the 2010 World Series

[Sparkball]

Schilling is not in the Hall of Fame but his sock is

[twohamburgers]

To see your catcher teammate running at you with pure ecstasy after a final strikeout must be one of the greatest feelings ever.

The Scherzer game when he came outta the bullpen was amazing, that was the most nervous I'd ever been for an Inning

Kyle Hendricks game 6 of the 2016 NLCS, Kerry Wood's 20 K game, Jake Arrieta's no hitter vs the Dodgers, Roy Halladay postseason no hitter, and that's just a few

I was there for game 2 when verlander pitched a gem. It was so much fun that day

[esinger]

Houston wouldn’t have won the World Series if they didn’t get Verlander at the trade deadline

[joshismama]

Bartolo colon should just be every single one of these. 😂😂

[gnzrivas]

That schilling performance was legendary also too the David price and Chris sale in 2018 world series

[sinz__]

Nobody gives credit to the catcher. Catcher be bringing that mitt where it needs to be we appreciate you🥰

[ljvallot]

Bruh, Pedro Martinez in 1999 Game 5 ALDS is ridiculous

[crimsonplayzzz]

This video is why Max Scherzer is my absolute favorite pitcher

[UnicornOfDepression]

Die hard Padres fan here.
Watch Mad Bum go nuts in the World Series was both awful and amazing. That dude was a beast that postseason.
The only other good news from that World Series was Bochy getting another ring.

What about Kyle Hendricks’ gem in game 6 of the 2016 nlcs?

Orel Hershiser, 1988 Playoffs. Game 1 NLCS, Hershiser goes 8.1 giving up 2 runs on 7 hits and gives a lead to Jay Howell, who blows the game by allowing a double to Gary Carter. Game 3 (on 3 days rest), Hershiser gives up 3 runs, 1 earned, in 7 innings, leaving with the lead, to watch Howell and the pen blow that game. The very next night, Hershiser comes in to the bottom of the 12th with the bases loaded and 2 outs and get's Kevin McReynolds to fly out to win the game. Finally for that series, Hershiser, in game 7, throws a 5 hit shutout.
World Series, game 2 (again on 3 days rest), Hershiser Shuts out Oakland A's on 3 hits while going 3 for 3 with a double, a run scored, and an RBI. Then, in game 5, Hershiser throws his 3rd complete game of the playoffs, giving up 2 runs on 4 hits. (he didn't hit because it was an AL park).
So, final tally: 5 starts, one relief appearance, 3 complete games, 2 shutouts and a save. 42 and 2/3 innings, 25 hits, 7 runs (5 earned) 13 walks, 32 strikeouts. NLCS MVP. World Series MVP.
oh, and that was after the year when he'd won the Cy Young with 23 wins, 267 innings, 8 shutouts!
I should probably include his september line: 6 starts, 5 complete games, 5 shutouts, 55 innings, 30 hits, 0 runs allowed. Did I say only 5 shutouts? well, without really anything on the line, he threw 10 shutout innings of a game that ended up going 16 innings with the team losing 2-1.

Curt Schilling's bloody sock game deserves to be pretty high on the list.
