Royals Halladay Named AL Starter

CaliforniaChief · 07-13-2009, 09:40 AM

Screw Joe Maddon. He has chosen Roy Halladay to start for the American League and not Zack Greinke as the starter for tomorrow night's AS Game.

Total ****job

Their stats are very close. Halladay gets the honor for Lifetime Achievement.

It's really not surprising considering how things have gone as of late.

Yep....thats the way i see it.

They aren't equal at all. Greinke's 10 wins for the Royals have to be worth about 13 or 14 wins for a player on a good team.

RJ · 07-13-2009, 10:09 AM

There's no extra credit given for playing on a bad team, unfortunately.

Boooooooooooooooo

Zach's 2-4 record with about a 3.90 era in his last 7 games didn't help matter's for him. He's been very human since his no decision game against the WhiteSux on May 31st.

5 cgs and 2 sho's playing for the next to worst team in the league guess doesn't help

PunkinDrublic · 07-13-2009, 10:18 AM

It doesn't suprise me. When the team loses players get overlooked. Teams that win get players in the all star game. Look at the Texas Rangers, they are in first place and they have 3 players playing in the game, it's questionable whether Josh Hamilton belongs this year but that's how it goes.

With that being said, no way should Halladay get the nod over Greinke. No way he comes close to Greinkes numbers if he plays on the Royals. It's bullshit but it's not suprising.

**doomy3** · 07-13-2009, 10:18 AM

Halladay has been the better pitcher over the last several games. That didn't help Zack.

Deberg_1990 · 07-13-2009, 10:20 AM

Who cares. Halladay will be pulled after 2 innings and Zach will get his 2 or so.

Its not like Halladay hasnt earned it. Hes been a great pitcher for awhile now.

Yep. Seriously, Zach hasn't been the dominant pitcher he was in the first 2 months of the season. He's still been our best pitcher and kept us in most every game, but not nearly the same guy that had 5 CG's and 2 ShO's in his first 11 starts.

Halladay wouldn't have his wins with our offense. Zach overall has been the better pitcher all season, but this is what happens when you lose like we do.
