South Paw Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Now this is the Peavy I imagined when we traded for him two years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the Rangers' announcers suggesting Darvish would win it last night...I thought Peavy would win but wasn't sure he would get the nod over Jason Hammel.

caulfield12 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 And to think, Hammel took the loss in a game against a community college game in their final week of exhibition games, lol. Trade/market/hype Jake, Lobster Thief Victim KW! Pretty hard to do that when we're still in 1st place, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 http://www.csnchicago.com/baseball-chicago...tm_medium=email Peavy feels he hasn't proven anything yet Jake Peavy posted a 1.67 ERA with 33 strikeouts and five walks in April. (US Presswire) JJ STANKEVITZ csnchicago.png Jake Peavy had the best April of any American League pitcher -- at least, that what the award says. It was a nice token for someone who's struggled with injuries and ineffectiveness ever since coming to the junior circuit. But the 30-year-old right-hander isn't reading too much into the honor. "It's certainly exciting to be back healthy and doing what I had done before getting here. That's something I feel blessed to be able to do," Peavy said Wednesday. "But at the same time, one month doesn't prove anything. It shows, hopefully, I'm healthy and can put together a few more like this one and call it a good year." Indications are that Peavy is on the right track based off his April numbers. While Peavy said he doesn't think he's doing much differently from his San Diego days, how he's gone about his success has changed. His strikeouts are down, but so are his walks. Through the adversity of the last few seasons, Peavy has developed and matured as a pitcher. And that he's healthy right now doesn't hurt, either. "If you watch other guys pitch who have been in the league kind of the same time I have and have the mileage, everybody slows down a bit," Peavy explained. "When you go through the times I went through, you learn a little bit about pitching and mixing and matching and experience, experience goes a long way. I've had some tough years these past few years, [so] to be healthy and to go out there and worry about nothing but to execute the game plan you come up with is awfully nice." There will be adversity ahead for Peavy -- if he keeps allowing a high rate of fly balls, eventually he'll get burned -- but he's really not looking at the big picture. Instead, all he's thinking about is a way to beat Detroit in his next start. "You certainly are not going to end the season with a sub-2.00 ERA, you don't really anything like that'll happen," Peavy said. "But you gotta put everything in perspective. I'm going to do everything I can go to be prepared to pitch Friday night, and I can promise you my biggest expectation is to win that game."

Texsox Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 How many more years do we have him locked up . . .? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunofgold Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 This makes him the front runner to win the Cy Young. Keep dealing Peavy and you will get a new great deal starting next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyburger Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 His pitch count is still mind boggling. Last night 122 pitches in 7 innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (Jake @ May 5, 2012 -> 02:40 PM) f*** Kenny for getting this guy gave up the whole farm Way too little too late. If Peavy complains of greater than usual soreness in his next start, Ventura's going to get blasted in the media.

sunofgold Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Back to back. That is what Peavy is going for. When was the last time we had a pitcher just dominate start after start. Maybe Contreras at the end of 2005. JC was dealing and was great but probably not as great as JP right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
