Winning under pressure counts in the minds of baseball writers. When the heat was on, and it was time to show his stuff, he got beat. End of story. Doesn't mean he's not one of the best in baseball, he just doesn't matter to the majority of the league.

If this thread were a discussion in a bar, I would break a bottle over your face and start throwing punches at you.
Saying that voters might have a large-market bias is not an argument against Zack. Also, your presumption that Zack's final start was the only one hwere he was "under pressure" is false.
I can't tell if you believe the things you're saying or if you're just passing along what you feel the majority of voters think. Either way, if they do think that then the Cy Young is a worthless award.
