I agree that Gooden has potential.  I good point that was made
during a game the other week was that most good pitchers (Koufax,
Gibson, etc.) would set up their change-up with the fastball.
They all admitted that most of their strikeouts came on curves and
change-of-pace pitches.  So like the man said: "Strikeout by the
fastball, gopher by the fastball."

P.S.  What about Jerry Koosman?  He KO'd the Braves again last
night.  I think he must be getting better with age.
