    What will Strasberg's excuse be today?

    KY-Jelly on his pitching shoulder?
    Jizz in the eye?
    Preparation H on his shaft?

    Kershaw and verlander are definitely part of the top 3.

    Weaver top 5, arguably top 3.

    Halladay was top 3 last 5 seasons but just odesnt have the lights out stuff this year.

    You guys say that like it's a bad thing. Nats have two of the top 10 pitchers in baseball right now. I still thing Strasburg will prove to be the better of the two before the year is out, but Gio is a beast too.

    Actually, and quietly, Zack Greinke has been very sharp outside of a terrible start in Chicago. His numbers are excellent all around.

    from the same guy who thinks rivera doesnt deserve to be in the hall

    let's try to keep the top 5 pitchers in baseball conversation to guys who are top 20 in era in their league

    Not THAT quietly, he leads the Majors in FIP (Gio is second, Strasburg probably third after today)

    Except for the fact that I said he will be in the HOF. Heck, you could make a statistical argument that Greinke's career has been more valuable than Rivera's.

    Will be interesting to see where he ends up next year. Would be nice if the Brewers could sign him to a long-term deal. He's been one of the best for a while now.

    He does have some of the most severe home/away splits of all time though, which may be a mental thing. Maybe his last great road outing vs. the Mets will get him going away from Miller Park (where he is undefeated as a Brewer I think).

    Yep, indeed. Unfortunately he was a decided road favorite over a popular team, so the value train is probably gone.
