I thought that it was time to do an update on the stats and to show how many games each pitcher has won since I started the blog back on June the 13th. After six weeks here is who has made the greatest impact:
1. Jamie Moyer 255 (+5)
2. Roy Halladay 142 (+1)
3. Mark Buehrle 133 (+5)
4. CC Sabathia 127 (+5)
5. Johan Santana 120 (+3)
6. Justin Verlander 57 (+4)
7. Felix Hernandez 50 (+5)
8. Jered Weaver 45 (+4)
8. Chad Billingsley 45 (+2)
10. Zach Greinke 44 (+2)
10. Cole Hamels 44 (+2)
12. Matt Cain 42 (+4)
13. John Lester 36 (+4)
14. Tim Lincecum 35 (+4)
On the downside: Halladay has been hurt but I know he will get back on track. Billingsley has had his numbers slowed down because of the bullpen. Greinke has been moving slowly along because of lack of run support, and Hamels just hasn't pitched too well.
On the positive: Beurhle has been on top of his game and threw the perfect game, Moyers has pitched well enough to win and of course threw the one hitter, CC has been helped by a great offense in NY, and Felix just keeps putting up W's because he is a dominant performer every single start.
Incidentally, the two pitchers with the most wins in the last 30 days are not on my list, they are: Randy Wells of the Cubs and Jorge DeLa Rosa of the Rockies as they have 5 victories each during the time frame.
I won't get a chance to blog much until next weekend as I am out of town with some teens from my youth group at SoulFest. I would expect that by the time I get back a couple of pitchers will have added a couple more W's to the stats, another one will have been traded in a blockbuster trade. and that Jamie Moyer will continue to show why he is a smooth throwing vet.
Until then, God Bless you and I look forward to blogging again next Sunday. Thanks for checking out this blog. Invite others to check it out too.
