Starting Them Out

So I've adopted some nicknames as my own and I want to forward them to the world. Zach Nasty, aka Zack Greinke, is having an All-Star, Cy Young worthy season. He pitches for a terrible terrible team. His team is actually in the process of converting a shortstop, Tony Pena Jr, into a relief pitcher. So their pitching sucks. But Mr Nasty has put up these amazing numbers. 10-6, 2.04 ERA, leads the league in complete games with 5, tied for the league lead in shut outs with 2, tied for second in the MLB with 146 strike outs in 141 1/3 innings. He's a stud. Check out this comparison of him and 4 other pitchers in the AL: Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Felix Hernandez, and Justin Verlander. I am personally counting down the days until the Yankees get the privilege of signing him. But then I remember that he had an anxiety disorder and he probably wouldn't want to go to a high pressure city. That means the Astros stand a chance. Too bad that chance won't come for another 4 years.

Stay tuned for my next blog about my guilty love affair with D Pads

Question: Who's been the best pitcher thus far and why
