Every pitch from Greg Maddux's 78-pitch complete game (July 22, 1997)

[hagan]

It is amazing how fast games were in the 90s. In just under 13 minutes Maddix was able to pitch a complete game.

Cubs and Braves - these two teams were always on tv in the 90s.

Back in the heyday of Braves baseball. The pitching lineup was incredible. The Braves on TBS, thats classic.

As a teen in the 90s, I didn't realize how good I had it watching the Braves play on TBS during summer break.

Maddox was getting the outside pitch called a strike the entire game by the home plate umpire Eric Gregg. Watch the call at 11:34. The catcher actually sets up outside the plate by an inch or two, and Maddox throws it about a foot outside the plate (based on the plate being 17 inches and the ball appears to be outside about 2/3 the plate width), and Gregg calls it a strike. I believe that was the most egregious called strike in this game, but there may have been a few more egregious ones.

If only we had Statcast data for Maddux. I feel like he'd be the all-time leader in Good Piece of Pitching.

With the game as it is now, this will never happen again. He had the best movement and control arguably ever.

Imagine showing up to this game an hour late, and you could barely consume a beer before the game was over.

I so miss the days of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz!!! Three of the best pitchers ever let alone on the same team!! Thank you for that fun fast walk down Braves memory lane⚾❤️🤍💙

1- Thanks for this complement to your FB video
2- Thanks for leaving the music for the breaks in between innings 🙏

This kind of thing can happen when the home plate ump calls strikes that are 3 inches off the outside corner of the plate to a right-handed batter.

[elbob]

One of those legendary games for people my age.

[Spielzeit]

That is a massive zone, especially to the outside against the RHBs.

One of my favorite things about this video is hearing Pete, Joe, Skip, and Don.

Love the fact that these umpires in this era gave so much outer coners and inside pitches. They new the hitters were dirty and non power pitchers like maddux glavine jaime moyer were not on a even plyaing field. Thats why they gave so many outer corners calls to the pitchers. When pitchers pitch. Miss this ERAaaaa

[teddymark]

Pitches 33, 66, 71 and 73 would make even Angel Hernandez blush. ☺

[dentondodson]

Love how the strike zone is so wide in this era yet pitch number one is a missed strike called for a ball

[bigperm]

Damn, that Jeremi Gonzalez pitching a gem for the Cubs?

[michaelq]

That was one generous home plate umpire

[jasontautfest]

Im late to this video but why hasnt anyone posted about the umpire Eric Gregg who infamously won Livan Hernandez a game in the 97 NLCS for the Marlins with his extra wide strike zone??
