Around Baseball 2015 Edition

With their ridiculius pitching? Mostly anything can win with 2 of the top 10 pitchers in baseball.

You are right. Anything can happen in the playoffs. I've been saying this for years.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Haven't been paying attention for basically the last two weeks. Had no idea the Blue Jays were on a tear like they are. Also that the Nats are in danger of not making the playoffs.

I know. Good times.

They don't have 2 of the top 10, they have 1.

 

[thewupk]

They don't have 2 of the top 10, they have 1.

The Dodgers do though

 

[BRule]

They don't have 2 of the top 10, they have 1.

Is he talking about the Mets or Dodgers? I thought Mets

 

[thethe]

They don't have 2 of the top 10, they have 1.

Yes they do.

 

[BRule]

Yes they do.

The Mets or Dodgers? Cause the Mets don't....

 

[thethe]

Yes, they do...

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Greinke, Kershaw, Felix, Archer, Sale, Scherzer, Price, and MadBum are my top 8. I don't think both Harvey and deGrom are in the top 10. Maybe not even one of of them is. They are both great pitchers though.

 

[BRule]

Yes, they do...

deGrom is but Harvey isn't

Matt Harvey of 2 years ago, sure......not 2015 though. He probably gets back to that form but he's certainly not there this year.

Pitchers that have been better, in no order:

Kershaw
deGrom
Zack
Sale
Max
Kazmir
Dallas
Cueto
Garrit Cole
Price
Archer
Kluber
Arrietta
Gray
MadBum
Carrasco
Felix
Lynn
Zimm
Wacha
Lester

Shocker you didnt put Shelby there.

Looking forward to you spinning the stats i posted you if you respond.

 

[Heyward]

Harvey has a 2.61 ERA, he struggled for a bit post-TJ but he's been dominating his past few starts.

 

[Heyward]

Them and OKC

And the Cowboys

 

[Heyward]

Harvey has a top 10 ERA but he's not top 10, even this year, BRULE LOGIC.

 

[Heyward]

2.61 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 134 K's, 31 walks, 145 IP, with a 3.7 WAR in the NL (7th highest) looks like a top 10 SP to me if you figure he'll have a good end to the year.

 

[thewupk]

Harvey has a 2.61 ERA, he struggled for a bit post-TJ but he's been dominating his past few starts.

He's also had a high Left On Base% and really low BABIP against. Things genereally not sustainable. His FIP is in like the 3.30 range which is good but not ace level. Of course he has all the talent in the world and I suspect he will get somehwere close to his 2013 numbers in the future but he's not that pitcher right now.

2.61 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 134 K's, 31 walks, 145 IP, with a 3.7 WAR in the NL (7th highest) looks like a top 10 SP to me.

So top 10 in baseball or top 10 in the NL?

 

[Heyward]

So top 10 in baseball or top 10 in the NL?

Not top 10 this year, but there arent 21 pitchers better this year like BRule proclaims though.

He's 13th in WAR/ERA, just on the outside looking in.
