He was impressive, but let's see him do it against somebody other than the Pittsburgh Pirates.

14 Ks in your debut against ANY major league team is f**king amazing. I think what I liked more is that he stayed calm in a time where every media outlet was eyes on him. Talk about pressure!
But yes, like Stoney said -- let's see him do it against a top team like the Rays or Yankees and then I'll be

Nolan Ryan was the Jerry Rice of pitching.
Not at ALL. Ryan had strikeout stuff, but he also walked a lot of guys. He is definitely not the greatest pitcher of all time. Best strikeout pitcher, but not best ever.
