MHizzle85 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2010 -> 04:06 PM) He should have retired after robbing Lou of the walkoff homer in the tiebreak game in Minnesota. I see what you did there & I likes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ May 5, 2010 -> 01:17 PM) Jose Contreras is temporarily going to be the closer for the Phils: http://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/blog/roto_...=fantasy,238335 He's also throwing the hardest he has in his career and has a 14:0 K:BB. Dang, we should have kept him as the long man. But in all seriousness, good for Jose. Guy always gave heart when he was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenario Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Eric Byrnes has found a new team. He's playing in a recreational softball league for a team sponsored by Dutch Goose... a burger and beer pub in Menlo Park, CA. LOL Sounds like fun actually.

LittleHurt05 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 6, 2010 -> 02:56 PM) The Phillies have really taken the Cardinals to school the last few games. They did win 3 of 4, but I don't know if I'd call it taking them to school. Monday STL won, Tuesday was a 10-inning pitchers duel, Wed. the Phillies did outplay them, but today was Halladay vs. Kyle freaking Lohse, a 7-2 PHI win was easily predictable.

You don't have to win every game by 5+ runs to thoroughly outplay a team. I watched most of the last three games. And the Phillies pitched the s*** outta the ball. Anytime the Cards looked primed to score, a Philly pitcher made a big pitch. Yeah, Halladay vs Loshe was predictable. But was Kyle Kendrick throwing 7 innings of shutout ball last night predictable?

Yeah, Halladay vs Loshe was predictable. But was Kyle Kendrick throwing 7 innings of shutout ball last night predictable? Like I said earlier, Philly did outplay STL in game 3 & I did see that surprisingly Kendrick did pitch a hell of a game. But in game 1, Blanton got beaten by a rookie, and in game 2 Wainwright & Hamels battled into extra innings. Just saying that it was a close series that Philly won, by no means was it domination. They are the best team in the NL, but STL can hang with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 6, 2010 -> 09:55 PM) Way different eras. If anything, the 50s were easier for pitchers to gain statistics than the 70s/80s. Higher mound, bigger parks, more chances to pitch per year.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Man the Rays need to stop. Another 8-0 waxing and 3-game sweep of the Mariners. They're now 12-1 on the road. 21-7 overall. They've outscored their opponents by a staggering 83 runs. That's insane for early May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Jaime Moyer is insane. Oldest pitcher to throw a complete game shutout. (47 years old!) He also currently has like a 34 inning scoreless streak going. (dunno if that is against the Braves or in general, but still impressive) In this era for a STARTING pitcher, that really is amazing.

I have no idea where you get the 34 inning scoreless streak from. He allowed 2 unearned runs in his last start against Atlanta, and in his last appearance against Atlanta last year, he gave up an ER in 4.1 IP. But yeah, Jamie Moyer is pretty incredible. He's obviously over the hill, but he's still a solid back of the rotation starter. He could probably pitch until he was 50 if he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that certainly isn't an official earned run in scoring, though I have to confess this is what I get looking at ESPN highlights and what they put up on the screen. Perhaps I worded it wrong or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
