Ball Scuffer!!!!
Mike Scott was a monster in that series.
Mike Scott MOST DOMINATING PITCHER IN 86
He scuffed the ball. Even the announcers knew.
LOL it's obvious that he cheated along with nolan ryan. steroids, scuffing the ball.
he had the ball darting all over the place because he was a cheater..he scuffed the ball…he just never got caught.
Mike Scott rocks. There was no scuffing. Split fingered fast ball Was his best
He was well deserved of the series MVP.
Mike Scott was superhuman in that series.
Without a doubt Scott was dominating in 86, and he was really in the minds of the Mets. But, this is still baseball, and anything can happen. There is no guarantee he would have won Game 7. I give you Bob Gibson, Game 7 68 WS. Rick Sutcliffe Game 5, 84 NLCS. Both pitchers who had dominate years but lost the deciding game.
Mike Scott almost certainly would have won a Game 7 and he wouldn't have had to scuff a ball to do it by then…he was that deep in their heads (also if the Astros had won Game 6, but in the same marathon fashion the Mets did, they would have been depleted to deal with them).
Easy if you learned how to throw a doctored ball. Doc said his ball were scratched up in the same place everytime. He would know, they squared off against each other Game 1
Mr scffoer .
He won NLCS MVP, if only we won the series the Astros would have played in the World Series
mike scott the best the best for president.
The Mets were so terrified of this guy they saw game 6 as a refuse to lose hence 16 innings. Mex said it had to be scuffed as the ball split two ways. He got in their heads
Was he really cheating or was it a combo that they say the split finger thrown well is unhittable & the Mets chased way high fast balls mostly so he got in their heads
He scuffed balls. He admitted it.
Those pitches would be about 103 mph with today's radar guns.
