Well, technically Jake Peavy and Andy Pettitte have been named Pitchers of the Month for August. It’s just that they get a sweet high-definition TV for their efforts. Like I always say: If there’s one thing a millionaire needs, it’s someone handing them a high-definition TV that they couldn’t possibly afford on their own.
Oops, sorry ’bout that; we’re congratulating the players, not mocking the system. My bad.
Peavy, who has never received a single Cy Young award vote, appears to be the National League’s leading candidate this year. No matter how you break down his numbers, there just aren’t any weaknesses. Yeah, he hasn’t made it past the seventh inning all season, but he’s made it through five in all 28 of his starts. I also love this line: .160/.210/.219. That’s what right-handed batters are hitting against Peavy this year.
Okay, I guess I won’t begrudge the guy his high-definition TV.
Wow.
I didn’t realize that Jake A. Hasn’t had a complete game this year. And B. In 184+ innings pitched he’s only given up 7 Home Runs.
Impressive really. If he doesn’t get the NL CY Young ..then someone needs their head checked.
