Ozzie Montana Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I just thought it would be fun to see who you think should start and to see if you are right when they announce today who the starter will be. Also tell us why you think he should start. My pick is for Halladay. Coming into today he has 11 wins for a team that is the worst from the ones in the poll, he has the most IP with 131 which is always an impressive power stat, 107 hits allowed, only 16 BB, he is third in the league with 98 K's, leads the league with a 2.40 ERA, leads the league with a 0.94 WHIP, and is second in the league with opponents batting .222.

whitesoxin' Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 What time is the selection show? I've been gone for a few days and have no clue when it starts. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpy2121 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 It should be Hallady but the final say depends on the persons manager. Who knows if he will be allowed to pitch in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Tim Kurkhoweveryouspell it is a f***ing dolt. He was just on BBTN and he said Halladay should start because he has a worse rotation around him...umm...wow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Halladay, and it's not even close. His stats are much better than everyone else's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaCWS Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 I definitely agree that Halladay has the better stats... but Peter Gammons put it best on the selection show. He said he'd love to see Buehrle start as a tribute to what the White Sox did in the 1st half. Think about it, the Sox have no position players on the team. I think it would be fitting to give Buehrle the start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 I would love to see Buehrle start, but realistically I know Halladay is unless he turns in a piss poor performance and Buehrle pitches a gem next time out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 The tribute thing sounds reasonable to me. Mark B should start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangercal Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) I voted for Mark. The stats don't lie. these stats? Era : Halladay 2.33 Mark 2.58 wins Halladay 12 Mark 10 whip Halladay 0.94 Mark 1.11 k's Halladay 104 mark 82 I love Buehrle as much as the next guy. But if you want to go with stats then I have to go with Halladay. I voted mark because he is on a 1st place team with comparable stats.

I was one of like 3 people who were pro Halladay. You have to start reading my posts more intently and taking them to heart, study them, it will make you a better person.
