TDogg. Not taking an opportune time to reopen this thread, didn't know there were any replies in it.
Just saw Mr.Loaiza latest performance...
2.1 ip, 4 hits, 4 er, 5 walks.
It may be finally happening..... BACK TO LIFE, BACK TO REALITY.
Lol, but as for the homer remark, I'm nowhere near a Jays fan. I despise the team and more specifically I despise Tosca.
BUT, "Loaiza beats Roy in almost every stat"
What the fu#K? Which stats? Are you looking at the stats?
The only category Loaiza dominates Halladay in is the ERA.
Take a look at Complete games. Halladay w/ 7, Loaiza with 1. Halladay with 20 wins, going for 21 tomorrow, while Loaiza still stuck on 19, and getting a loss added to his wins/loss column tonight.
And who can forget the winning streak Halladay strung together?
And yes, I realize Loaiza did well against his LONE starts against the Yanks and Red Sox, but he never faced them a 2nd time around, and that's when pitcher's tend to fold.
And since when does entering the playoff considered a Cy Young criteria? It isn't. It's just another factor that's always in the back of the minds of the writers when they vote. Same with strength of competition. And it's more glaring giving Loaiza gets constant cracks at the Tigers and Indians. THe DRays and Orioles aren't exactly mountaineous hurdles either, but least they tend to put up some fight .
Case closed..... in fact I think Loaiza may have closed it himself with his last 3 starts. Pressure.....Loaiza...... tremors.
