How filthy was his stuff that day?
I don't think I have ever seen a more dominant performance in baseball like Wood was that day. He didn't throw a no hitter or a perfect game, but the hitters didn't even come remotely close to touching any of his pitches that day. Also, the only hit was a questionable one it probably should have been an error.
It was against a good lineup as well (Biggio, Bell, Bagwell, Everett, Alou).
20 K's 0 walks that day.. Ridiculous.

Dusty Baker owes this man a career.
I agree.. But I also believe his problems started way earlier in his career.
He once pitched both games of a double header in high school.
And yeah the 19th strike out might be the most ridiculous pitch ever thrown.

you got that right. that pitch started out over the outer half of the plate and ended up in the left handed batters box. the astros didn't have a chance that day.

What could have been? Look at his motion, he turned his arm out then in again when he delievered the pitch. He was on a road to injury, it's really the Cubs pitching coach fault. They should have changed his delivery.
