Baseball Playoffs

[Smooth Operator]

CL throwing another gem in a playoff game … shocking…


TX has a shot if they get this one

Great color commentary on TBS. During the Phillies/Reds game we got the gem of the guy stating the series could be either a high scoring series or a low scoring series. Maybe next inning he can offer that one team will win the series and one team will lose the series, and at this point it can be either team.

Wow. That was a beastly performance.

Halladay is the best pitcher of my lifetime. It's a shame he hasn't been on a contender until this season. He might as well have been pitching on Mars all these years. What a monster.

Pedro prime was better.

Probably, but I prefer Halladay's body of work. Pedro's year in 2000 was the best single pitching year of the past 20 years though.

Maddux in the mid 90s was pretty tough as well but I agree with you. I enjoy watching Halladay as much as any pitcher I've ever seen.

There's seriously not even a question about who has the best rotation in the playoffs right now. Oswalt is playoff-seasoned and Hamels looks like the 08 version instead of the 09 sissy that got banged around.

Is he even better then Lee?

It's not even close. Lee's had 3 pretty good years. His career ERA is just under 4. Halladay's resume blows his out of the water and he's finally getting to show what he can do on a contender. Meanwhile, Lee is 5-6 since being traded to Texas.

He is a great pitcher. But he isnt the best pitcher of your lifetime yet.

Clemens and Maddux had far better careers and higher peaks. Pedro had a 7 year run better than anyone in baseball history has ever had. Randy Johnson won 5 Cy Young awards and finished 2nd 3 times. Tom Glavine won 2 Cy Youngs and finished in the top 3 6 times.

Halladay's last few seasons have been very good. If he pitches as well over the next 3 or 4 years he will join the above group. Being that he is going to get a steady dose of the Nationals, Marlins and Mets in the NL East it looks good for him.

Best pitching performance Ive ever seen is when pedro went into yankee stadium in september of 99 and pitched a one hitter and the only hit was a home run. No walks, 17k's and faced one over the minimum.

You could take all the perfect games and no hitters and nothing was like that night.

Did anyone else see that game?

In the playoffs maybe. Overall, Halladay's easily better.
