Anyone here think Jake Peavy is the most overrated pitcher in baseball?
Note i did not bet on this game. Actually i haven't bet baseball at all this year but did horrible last year but stopped. I just WATCH now
This guy is good but I do know why so many people say they take Peavy over many other pitchers. I say he is average mainly because most of the good starts he has is at FRIENDLY petco park. I mean who doesn't pitch good when they pitch there. Since half of his games are pitched at Petco, no wonder why his numbers look so good. I always hear people say he is good but his team dont support him with runs. True Padres are worst offensive team in baseball but don't people know they are playing at Petco? Even the opposing pitcher who might be an average pitcher can give up 1 run in 7 innings at San Diego.
I recalled he won the cy young 2 years ago and in that 1 game elimiation game at Colorado, he laid an egg just like he does when he pitches away from petco park. If it isn't that, he's pitchign against a good team. Last year he pitched at Wrigley Field, Yankee Stadium and some other team i forgot that was either in the A.L or was a good N.L and got destroyed. Funny thing about this guy is people say he might be traded to Atlanta and what not. He mentioned he would not go to the A.L. Geez, i wonder why? Is it because his e.r.a will go to a 4.50? His numbers look good but everyones numbers will look good when half their games are at Petco. I mean when was the last time we saw an over under more than a 9 at petco park? When 2 horrible pitchers go at it thats what.
If this guy was put in the A.L , oh man we won't even here much about him anymore. I don't know why so many people think he is so good. He is horrible at big games and even more horrible when playing decent teams. Only teams he can win against are the Giants, Pirates, Dodgers and Nationals. When he plays teams like the Dbacks, Rockies, Cubs he is exposed. I don't even want to talk about what happens when interleague happens when he plays against the Yankees and the Red Sox Guys like Halladay, Lincecum, C.C, Santana are the read deal. Peavy i feel like is very overratted.
And he is getting beaten up by Giants the worst hitting team no less. I know his next outing he will probably winning or losing 3-2 to the same Giants team
If the NL west team beats him, oh boy what would the other teams that keep beating him do to him
