Gretzky's Mullet Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 So, are we on pace to see a knuckleball pitcher win the Cy Young for the first time in history? With his second straight 1-hitter yesterday, R.A. Dickey moved into first in the NL in wins (11), K's (103) ERA (tied with Beachy for 2.00) and WHIP (.89). He's also second in IP (1 inning behind Matt Cain) and first in CG with 3. If he can continue to baffle hitters as he has been, he could be a fairly obvious choice for the award. I'd say Cain and Strasburg, and even maybe Lance Lynn, are also in the conversation, and Beachy is having a great season but is now on the DL, but as it stands R.A. should be the frontrunner. It's harder to say in the AL: CJ Wilson and Chris Sale are the two best ERA pitchers right now. However, it wouldn't shock me in the slightest if Verlander ended up winning that again.

Gretzky's Mullet Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Hey Chisox fan, why can't Jake Peavy get any run support? Tonight was his second straight start (and third this season), where he gave up only 1 ER and took the loss (one run against today was unearned). From a fantasy perspective, his ERA and WHIP numbers have been a revelation, but he's not getting rewarded in the W column as much as I'd like.

Baercheese Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Safe to say Joey Bats is back My god, great to see Rasmus hitting so well. Finally reaching his potential? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretzky's Mullet Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 So does anyone else think it's ironic that Cliff Lee is rated as worth 1.7 Wins Above Replacement on the season (putting him first on the Phillies in that stat, .1 up on Hamels), and yet he hasn't actually gotten a W yet?

JustJokinen! Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 The top four of the Jays lineup is absolutely on fuego lately. So exciting to see Rasmus playing so well. It seems like when the Jays are hitting the pitching lets them down and vice versa. Frustrating. Such is the life of a .500 ball club I suppose.

Gretzky's Mullet Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Well I think it was a generally recognized fact that the Blue Jays' pitching wasn't going to be up to snuff this season. That they got off to a good start definitely raised peoples' hopes, and the injuries sure haven't helped, but this team was never going to contend with the rotation they started the season with. Drabek had dropped off considerably from his hot start before going on the DL, and Hutchison had some good starts but they were always interspersed with awful ones (in the mold of Brandon Morrow really). Henderson Alvarez has also fallen back to Earth, and Ricky Romero has certainly not been ace-like this season either. On the bright side, it's nice to see Brett Cecil get another shot. I'm always a little sad for Dustin McGowan. The guy was just on the cusp of being a legitimate major league starter and his career got completely shot to hell by injuries. The Blue Jays hitting was a problem early in the season, and the pitching was a bright spot, but I always thought that was an aberration and I think we're now seeing the true nature of this team: plenty of bats, not enough arms (double synecdoche).

Baercheese Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Not a Sox fan by any stretch, but really sad to see Youkilis traded from Boston Heart and soul for that team for the almost a decade.

If so , it really sucks to be a red sox fan .... actually it really sucks to cheer for Boston in any sport ... You'll notice I'm saying that and I'm not a Canucks fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretzky's Mullet Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Not his best start for sure, but once again today Jake Peavy was given zero run support on his way to another L. That makes 4 games in a row where the ChiSox have scored 1 or fewer runs in a Peavy start, dropping to 6-5 on the season despite a sub-3.00 ERA. Conversely, Chris Sale is 6-0 in 8 starts since his last loss, and has gotten nearly 6 runs of support on average over that time. It just don't make no sense why the team is so good in Sale starts, and so helpless in Peavy ones. Chisoxin12 might be right that the team's mentality is different depending on the pitcher, but this is getting ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretzky's Mullet Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 So is this the year the Pirates are actually for real. There have been a few false alarms so I don't think anyone wants to get their hopes up, but seeing a playoff game played in Pittsburgh would be a real experience.
