Tim Cumlincer can't compare to this guy
And wtf does Lincy have to do with him ? Lincy had two Cy Youngs by the age of 25. At the age of 25 Halladay was finally starting to put it all together. And before you say anything about Halladay pitching in the AL, Lincy's career ERA + is still 20 points higher than Halladays and ERA + takes the league you play in and park you pitch in into account. Not even close SMH you're talking about the two best pitchers in Baseball I swear to God besides Cham you are the worst and least knowledgeable Baseball head here. I would wish for someone to shoot you in the face but you live in Maine so the worst thing that will happen is maybe someone throws a lobster at you.

Again Hack shows his lack of Baseball knowledge by completely ignoring ERA + or is you prefer to call is adjusted ERA.
It cracks me up how Yanks fans are always the least knowledgeable Baseball fans here.
-
Adjusted era is still flawed though,theirs no way to truely track something along those lines.

Lol @ bringing up yankee fans. shows you don't know shit so you start blaming it on the team the person roots for.
back to the discussion...when you pitch 250 innings a year and throw a bunch of CG's you have to sacrifice your ERA+
see Randy Johnson vs Pedro Martinez 1997-2004
-
oh btw lets take a look at ERA+ this year:
Roy: 211
Lincy: 144
and 2008-2010:
Roy: 44-24, 571 innings, 23 CG, 160 ERA+
Lincy: 38-13, 518.1 Innings, 6 CG, 169 ERA+
BAM i'll take the nigga with 23 CG and a perfect game over the small ERA+ difference (btw one guy was pitching against the YAnkees and Red Sox with DH's for 2 of those years and one wasn't...want to guess whom?)
-
Fuck, they're both really amazing pitchers. One is younger than the other and we have no idea what kind of pitcher Lincecum will be as he ages. There isn't a need to act like one is clearly the better choice, as if it's a landslide.

Ubaldo dominatin'

give that man the Cy Young award! ;D

best pitcher in the NL West this year :D

shall we just go ahead and crown a WS champ in june aswell? still a shit load of games to play.....anything can happen.
ubaldo could possibly hurt himself celebrating, lincy would possibly regain his form, halladay could break his leg stepping off the bus.... shit, kershaw could snap and start killing motherfuckers and racking up koufax-type numbers. :bandit:
-
Dude is a man possessed, the inferior NL hitters don't stand a chance.

lol ubaldo ain't Kendry Morales
and yes we can crown the Yankees as champs
-
and yes we can crown the Yankees as champs
we'll do that right after we crown the Lakers as champs. we can do both ceremonies tomorrow night. deal?
-

lmao @ inferior hitters.
so pujols, ethier, howard, braun, fielder, h. ramirez, kemp, werth, utley, etc...theyre all 'inferior' cause they play on the senior circuit?

granted that wasn't my post, i'll stick up for his argument
1-you are forgetting lineups like Houston (the 2010 astros = the worst offense in 100 years), Pittsburgh, Washington, San Diego (minus Gonzo), Arizona etc. hell even the Phillies are proving to be human by being shut out 3x in their last 5 games
2-roy halladay went from pitching against teams like the Yankees and Red Sox, and DH's, to facing the freakin' Marlins and Nats the same amount of games lol u can't tell me thats no advantage for him. he was already the best in the AL...now the best in the NL
-
The top ten teams in runs scored are 5 from the NL and 5 from the AL, let's cut this crap out yeah? The big difference is the DH of course, but there are some good NL hitting teams out there. Let's not pretend like they aren't some shitty hitting teams in the AL either.

Obviously they have some great individual talent but overall the AL (especially the East) is a more difficult place to pitch.
-
The al east is far and away the best division in baseball.If the blue jays were in any other division they would have made a lot more playoff appearances :'(

yeah, but minus most teams aces, NL pitching sucks too.
yeah Ubaldo, Lincy & Doc can shut shit down, but the 3, 4, 5 starters suck ass.
so pujols, ethier, howard, braun, fielder, h. ramirez, kemp, werth, utley,
Ethier & Kemp play together; Howard, Werth & Utley play together; Braun & Fielder play together; & Pujols & Hanley are seperate.
oddly enough, you named nine players, all who will be voted into the All-Star game; obviously all can't play in the same starting lineup, but let's say they did, 7 of the 9 in the lineup make up of just three teams lol.
besides those three teams, the rest of the league is weak offensively.
-
i cant believe i missed everything but the last 3 outs, i was watching the flyers game checking the shit on my phone, but being the retard that i am, not notiticng that despite the score 1-0 halladay was pitching perfect game... as a phillies and halladay fan, this is sexyness, too bad phils playing like ass.
-
Besides the Brewers, Phillies, Cards and the Dodgers the NL teams are hitting weak? Negative
Colorado, AZ, Reds, and Braves score more runs per game than the Phillies and the Cardinals. You're also underrating the NL pitching. Cardinals, Giants, Padres, Rockies, Phillies, Dodgers, Marlins, Mets all have pretty good pitching staffs and not just aces.
-
you notice how the Padres, Giants & Rockies all are at the top of the league in ERA? that's where the weak hitting comes into play.
& you named half the NL with good staffs, the other half blows; the bottom three teams in the majors in team ERA are all from the NL.
i feel like they give & take each other, the good staffs just feed off the poor hitting & vice versa.
the two worst hitting teams in terms of batting average are the Pirates & Astros & the best pitching staff in terms of ERA is the Cards.
i don't know, i use to think the NL on paper was so much better than the AL, but the NL just blows lol.
-
if you put a team that flat out can't hit like houstin in the AL i don't know if they could win more than 30 games lol
-
So somehow some of the best offense in the NL is from the NL West and also some of the best pitching is also in the NL West. Of course if you look at the shittiest team in the NL you'll find a shit load of flaws, same thing if you look at the shittiest in the AL. The AL West is pretty damn weak as well as the other obvious weak AL teams
-
& you named half the NL with good staffs, the other half blows; the bottom three teams in the majors in team ERA are all from the NL.
yea but the AL isn't full of great pitching staffs either...you see where I'm getting at?

yeah, but they also have to face stronger lineups day in, day out; that was the argument, that the AL has superior offenses.
Tampa's got the best offense in the league & the Yankees & Redsox staffs have to deal with that, while Ubaldo gets to pitch against the mighty Giants; not to mention he gets an automatic out every nine batters; while CC or Matt Garza has to face David Ortiz opposed to Jon Lester.
what Ubaldo is doing is ridiculously impressive, i'm not trying to take that away; but that under 1 ERA would be at least one, likely more if he pitched in the AL, not even just the AL East.
Doc was pitching in the best offensive division in Baseball & still dominating; that's impressive, he's clearly been as dominate, but something takes away from it because he's faced Florida twice (they haven't score a run off him), Pittsburg, Houston (two worst hitting teams), Atlanta, New York, SF, STL, Colorado (solid group, but still no NYY, TB, LAA) & Boston.
SHOCKINGLY enough, his worst performance was against the Redsox.
-
What I'm saying is that the gap isn't as wide as you guys are making it seem. We're acting like it's AAA vs MLB. Obviously the extra batter makes a big difference, but that also makes a big difference in hitting as well. Give some of these NL teams a DH and of course they'll score more runs per game.

maybe, but that's not the case.

Then it should definitely not be used in an argument on why AL batters are so much better than NL batters

i don't know whose got better hitters, but the AL has better lineups because of the DH.
hence, it's easier to pitch in the NL; plus the Pirates & Astros suck asshole.

theres a difference in saying what youre saying and saying that the nl hitters are 'inferior".
and stop acting like every team in the al is amazing....some of the worst teams in MLB are in the al.

there is, i guess that's why Remedy360 said what he did & i said what i did lol.
the inferior NL hitters don't stand a chance.

the al is more conductive to hitting because of the dh rule.
That being said fuck all the al nl talk.the fact is the al east is the best division in baseball and has been for the longest time,its far and away the best its not even close.Roy Halladay had to pitch in this division.
