I would kill for a Lackey that gets to the 7th with just 2 runs.

I would kill for a Lackey that gets to the 7th with just 2 runs.

I would kill you for a Lackey that gets to the 4th with just 6 runs.

 

[Puddles]

Today's games should wrap up the Cy Young for Kershaw.

Everything in Lackey's Life Sucks Right Now

 

[rekameohs]

Don't worry; Lackey is good tonight for 8IP, 2ER and 7K guaranteed.

I'm just gonna remember this quote for tonight

Used it faster than I thought!

 

[jman2050]

The Red Sox offense looks completely dead. They couldn't hit a triple A pitcher right now.

(Unless his name is Brian Matusz of course)

 

[Y2Kev]

This guy is goddamn awesome.

 

[jman2050]

I want to do glorious unspeakable things to Jesus Montero.

 

[captmcblack]

JUSTIN SMOAK IS BETTER

 

[Y2Kev]

I want to do glorious unspeakable things to Jesus Montero.

Let's teach him not to do that again first before we do so together

Final stats:

Pitcher A: 21-5, 2.28 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 248 SO, 54 BB
Pitcher B: 19-6, 2.35 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 220 SO, 35 BB

Which guy is the Cy Young winner?

 

[Windu]

Montero isn't eligible for the postseason, right? Was he on the 40 man before the call up?

 

[Malo]

Jesus styling on the red sox.

Bad baserunning there.

I think they have a 60-day DL spot they can use to put him in.

This troll attempt was funny when Windu did it, but at this point it's not.

 

[Sharp]

This troll attempt was funny when Windu did it, but at this point it's not.

You realize we're not trolling, right?

 

[Corran Horn]

Neither? I would be fine with no Cy Young in NL this year.

 

[Doytch]

I like how the YES commentators are baffled at how Lackey can be horrible. This about sums it up, no?

 

[Puddles]

You realize we're not trolling, right?

Seems hard to believe.

ERA+ is the only relevant stat on that list.

To voters, that is.

Edit: maybe the WAR stats as well, but they won't be the difference maker.

That was an amazing exchange Kay related if it was verbatim.

"Are you playing tonight?"
"Well, they want me to."
"Are you ready?"
"No. I feel lousy."

 

[Celsior]

Yeah Kay and Singleton, not like a Yankees manager has not been fired who won them 4 WS, and made the playoffs every year.

 

[Y2Kev]

Yeah Kay and Singleton, not like a Yankees manager has not be fired who won them 4 WS, and made the playoffs every year.

Singleton, I think, crawled out of a hole in 1994 and is still using the same talking points.

well none of those stats matter to voters. At least most of them, just look at the AL Cy Young Race. Even though it should be close, and it should be between a few pitchers. Verlander is probably going to win in a landslide because of the wins. People are even saying he should win MVP which is laughable.

 

[jman2050]

Looks like Ellsbury used up his magic pixie dust this afternoon.

 

[Doytch]

ERA+ is the only stat on that list my poor brain can understand.

Yeah, basically.

Oh, you edited. I don't really give a shit about predicting what the votes end up as. If you want to talk about who's been a better pitcher, and about how you want to place value on certain stats, that's another thing.

 

[Puddles]

It is so sweet to see the Red Sox implode like this.

What's funny is that I actually hopped on their sentimental bandwagon back in 2003. It only took a few years for the national media to turn them into my most-hated team in the league.

 

[Windu]

Mark Tiexera has a .337 OBP? what the hell

 

[jman2050]

Mark Tiexera has a .337 OBP? what the hell

Look at his splits vs RHP. It's a disaster.

 

[Doytch]

Re:what the Yanks announcers were just saying about Lackey/Angels, the Angels had Weaver, Santana, Pineiro, Kazmir (lol Angels FO so smaaart), Saunders and Haren start for them that year. Not surprising they didn't bother paying out the ass for Lackey, considering he would've been a #4 SP for them.

MLB DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN

 

[Y2Kev]

when is that fatass going to retire

 

[jman2050]

He was safe by a mile wtf.

 

[Windu]

yikes

 

[Puddles]

We can talk about how one guy just locked up the Triple Crown of pitching (tied in victories), while the other guy only has a case if we attempt to completely factor out luck, which we don't do for ANY other award in sports.

 

[Windu]

well we don't really care who will win, just who we think deserves to win. And that is halladay, sorry Kershaw has had a great year, but halladay has been the better pitcher.

 

[captmcblack]

Teix should be FORCED to reconstruct his swing with Kevin Long.
