Poor, silly Tru. If you want to compare Johan and Greinke, do it for real:

Posted by musubi May 7 '09, 08:53

Johan career:
1582 2/3 IP
1641 strikeouts
439 walks
3.06 ERA
1.10 WHIP

Greinke career:
703 2/3 IP
562 strikeouts
182 walks
4.03 ERA
1.31 WHIP

Greinke's having a very nice season, but let's not crown him Cy Young just yet.

Halladay. -- nm - Beaker May 7, 08:58 7
- not if the season ended today. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 09:05 6
  - No, not today, but I'm starting to think he makes a run at 25 wins. His ERA will come down some. Grienke's will go up. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 09:16 5
    - Even if his ERA stays where it is, he would win it. - groiny May 7, 09:17 4
      - There's 2 or 3 other guys in the mix. Bedard looks healthy; Felix is there. - Will Hunting May 7, 09:22 1
        
        right now, it is a 2 man race. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 09:24
      - He's absolutely the front runner, but it's the Kentucky Derby here...No one wins the Cy Young on the first turn. (April) - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 09:20 1
        
        Exactly...let's see where he is the 2nd and 3rd time through the league. -- nm - Mel Profit May 7, 09:21
I honestly think time Greinke is done, we'll be talking about him in that class. - Will Hunting May 7, 08:57 12

  - I've been a Greinke fan since about 2003. - Will Hunting May 7, 09:02 2
    - That's a rather bold statement. -- nm - Don Homer May 7, 09:03 1
      - seriously, when did he start pitching for the Orioles??? nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 09:05
  - And Fernando was going to be the best ever. -- nm - Don Homer May 7, 09:02
  - Seriously. I think it's a great story and all, and I hope the kid does well, but in reality, it's just one fantastic month. - musubi May 7, 09:01
- I'll wager you any ammount of money that, barring catastrauphic injury, Greinke will never match Johan's career numbers. (nm) - musubi May 7, 08:59
- yeah, a pitcher who gets bored on the mound and just wants to find a way to leave the game - tRuMaN May 7, 08:59
- He was so awful one season he single-handedly ruined my one fantasy team. -- nm - Don Homer May 7, 08:58 2
  - If your fantasy team can be ruined by one player, you're not doing it right. -- nm - nubby May 7, 09:00 1
    - I'm exaggerating a bit, obviously. But he sure didn't help. -- nm - Don Homer May 7, 09:01
anw ait til grienke starts wearing dresses in the locker room again. - groiny May 7, 08:54 6
- this sounds like a good story. Spill. -- nm - Mel Profit May 7, 09:01 5
  - not really, he just went on mental leave for too much pressure. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 09:07 4
    - Yeah, he had a pretty serious social anxiety disorder.... - Will Hunting May 7, 09:08 2
      - I dont know, after see pics of his girl - tRuMaN May 7, 09:11 1
        
        He was the golden child at 20 years old in that clubhouse. - Will Hunting May 7, 09:14
    - I already knew that. -- nm - Mel Profit May 7, 09:08
give johan another month to fall apart and be worthless - tRuMaN May 7, 08:54 5
- It's like you don't know what regression to the mean is. - musubi May 7, 08:56 3
  - see, this is the problem, and st knows it, - tRuMaN May 7, 08:58 2
    - Yeah, I do have this problem of relying on more than 1 months' worth of stats. Stupid me. (nm) - musubi May 7, 09:00 1
      - get em moose. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 09:01
- lol. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 08:55
