what makes mariano rivera so good?

what is so great about him? it seems like every damn time he comes in he just completely shuts the batters down. everyone either strikes out or grounds out, what's up with that?

well you're an exception i guess if you were born in the bronx obviously. and i don't have anything against pussy...i'm saying every dude is a fan of pussy, and it seems like every dude is also a yankees fan. they are 2 things that most guys are fans of. everywhere i look someone got on a yankee hat...such a bandwagon team...

I'm a Braves fan, but I love to see great pitchers like Rivera (even though he also dominates my favorite team). He never gets upset, he just keeps going after the batters. He might even be a machine or something...

His arm and control of the ball maybe? I could be wrong.

He throws a pitch that no other pitcher throws - hitters don't know how to handle it. It's called a cut or cutting fastball. Moves across the plate like a curve (without as much of a break) but is 20-30 MPH faster than a breaking ball.
He is a bad ass - GO YANKEES!

it is thrown by others but he does it consistantly well for some reason...his location is usually spot on and his movement is downward on the ball...that helps keep the ball on the ground...keeping the ball inside and down helps to break the bats, and take energy out of the ball when hit off the handle not barrel....and for the record i hate his ass

His delivery makes his cutter. The ball seems to jump at you out of nowhere and with the late break on the ball you've got no chance. Easily the best closer in baseball history.

Agreed.
It tails away from the right handed hitters inducing many groundballs.
It cuts into a left handed hitter and even if you get a piece of it, you'll break your bat.

Lots of people have cutters, but then again every pitcher has a fastball, but it's not Roger Clemens' or Randy Johnson's fastball either.

However, being a "one pitch" pitcher is the reason he's a closer and not a starter. You're not going to get that same pitch by a big league hitter more than so many times before he figures out a way to hit it.
I think that's a big part of the reason Boston was able to rough him up in last years LCS.....they faced him so many times during the regular season because of the unbalanced schedule that alot of their hitters had him figured out.
