Balta1701 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) Jon Garland > You. Jermaine Dye > You. And it really doesn't matter who you are, those 2 statements hold true. Dye needs 1 RBI to hit 100. Edited August 24, 2006 by Balta1701 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) I don't even want to think about where this team would be without Jon Garland right now. Pure and utter dominance today. Can you believe his era is at 4.47 now? Can he get it under 4? That would be miraculous when you consider how he started the season. Jermaine Dye: You're a very good baseball player.

whitesoxfan101 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Garland now 15-4 with a 4.47 ERA on August 24th. This is the same man that was 4-3 with a 6.19 ERA on June 12th. What a turnaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 At some point Jon and Cy Young have to be talked about. He's tied for second in wins, but his ERA will probably keep discussion to a minimum unless something magical happens between now and the end of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Nate Robertson entered July at 8-3 with a 3.14 ERA. He is now 11-10 with a 4.10 ERA. Regression to the means is a biatch.

He'd have to keep up this pace he's on now, which means he'd finish about 20-5 with an ERA of 3.80 or so. Still a long shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagotony06 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Great game all around. Pitching, offense, and defense. We left on this 7 game roadtrip 6.5 out, go 3-4, and come home 5.5 out. Sure it could have been better, but it is what it is and I'll take it. Good momentum going into the Twins series, and call me crazy if you want, but I have a strange feeling Vazquez is gonna pitch a gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonderman38 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Wins should mean nothing for Cy Young's. There are people like Bonderman who could have 16 or 17, but have 10 or 11 because of poor run support. Same goes the other way. Anyhow, Tigers sucked today. End of story.

Dick Allen Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 One of the Tiger fans on this site did predict before the series started that the Tigers would win the first 2 and the Sox the final 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a long shot. For Garland to get to an ERA of 3.8, he'd have to give up roughly 3 runs in his next 50 innings. He should have about 7 starts left.

The reason it's called the "CY YOUNG" award is because the player it's named after had more wins than anyone in history. It would be ignorant to say that W's mean nothing.

How about for a guy with a line of 8-1 2.69 ERA 1.19 WHIP 4.39 K/9 and nearly a 4 K/BB since the beginning of July, while also being the only form of consistent(ly good) pitching on his entire team? 15-4 looks a hell of a lot better when you consider how pisspoor he started out th year.
