David : I am saying, that if you can throw 100, you can get away with more than if you throw 85.

You can always reach back and blow someone away, when you can't do that, you have to do more with less.

Uehara has had silly numbers for 3 or 4 seasons now, and he is just really getting noticed for that.

Kimbrel is fantastic, and I am not saying that he isn't.

Responses:

Uehara had an ERA of 4 two years ago. Kimbrel has *at least* two pitches better than Uehara's best. -- nm - David Oct 18, 10:41 12
- and to be fair, Uehara's career WHIP is better than Kimbrel's. - groiny Oct 18, 10:48 1
  - which would be great if the game was measured based upon baserunners rather than runs allowed -- nm - David Oct 18, 10:51
- ERA for relievers is misleading, because that could be 2 bad outings. - groiny Oct 18, 10:45 9
  - There's nothing misleading about the fact that Kimbrel's ERA is a full run better in only 50 fewer innings. - David Oct 18, 10:51 8
    - you mistake me saying he is a better player than Uehara, I am not. - groiny Oct 18, 10:54 7
      - I am absolutely with you on that. I am just amused that the same people saying Kimbrel hasn't deserved the Cy Young the last two years are now... - David Oct 18, 10:56 6
        
        well, I certainly ain't giving either of them the Cy Young anytime soon. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 18, 10:57 5
        
        Which is ridiculous because Kimbrel has just had the greatest two year stretch in the history of baseball. -- nm - David Oct 18, 11:00 4
        
        the last 2 seasons...... - groiny Oct 18, 11:08
        
        well, you do not give a 2 year award, otherwise, he might get it. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 18, 11:01 2
        
        He was the best pitcher in the NL last year and this year. He didn't win then and he won't win now. -- nm - David Oct 18, 11:08 1
        
        how many Cy Youngs did Mariano Rivera win? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 18, 11:10
Kimbrel is a more unhittable Billy Wagner type....fireball pitcher with lessened control - Will Hunting Oct 18, 09:25
