Wow, insane month for both of those pitchers

Congrats to both….

I can't argue against this.

Wandy’s low walks counts is the obvious difference.

Yeah, my first reaction was “what!!!!???? How did Kershaw get screwed?” Then I looked it up and Wandy was great.

Wandy's 5-1 K/BB

I’m to old, I thought you were talking about Doc Gooden when he had that incredible 20 year old season.

by meercatjohn on Aug 5, 2009 1:17 PM PDT up reply actions

Haha

Halladay.

by Brendan Scolari on Aug 5, 2009 1:50 PM PDT up reply actions

Wandy deserved it...

especially after that one outing against the Cards where he totally had Pujols confounded throughout. Sneaky good lefty that one is, lol.
